I like this guy and I think he likes me too, but how do I know?

Asked by veronasgirl (1765points) March 21st, 2009

He lives next door to me, and he is always at our apartment for no reason. My roomates and he always hang out together but he is alone with me all the time too. We have stayed up till 3 in the morning several times just talking and watching tv. He doesn’t seem to have a problem with it if I lean against him when it’s just the two of us, and he always makes eye contact with me, and holds it just a little longer than normal. But when other people are around, and sometimes even when they aren’t, he acts like he doesn’t like me at all and picks on and insults me. I don’t know what to think.

@veronasgirl It sounds like he likes you. Can I ask how old you are? Maybe he is just shy, and “testing the waters”. I have been out of the dating scene a long time. Be patient.

I’m ninteen and I think that is why I am so confused by this guy. He is my age as well, and he has dated other girls, so he isn’t inexperienced.

It sounds like he likes you, but is immature. I would flat out ask him. For example, “I am attracted to you. Are you interested in seeing if we can be more than friends?”

If he says no, then avoid the alone time and the leaning. You don’t want to be involved with someone who is only looking for a bootycall, or someone who treats you badly in front of others.

Thanks Marina. I should clarify though, that he just jokes when he is mean, mostly I think he is just trying to get me to laugh, and usually it works.

He likes you a lot. Remember elementary school? Guys that pick on you like you. He’s just nervous and might not know how to show you he likes you.

I agree with Will. He likes you a lot and just doesn’t know how to show it. Like Marina says, ask him out. You are a woman of the new century. If he says no, move on to greener pastures. You have a long time before you have to decide on “the one.” Just don’t settle!

Note too though that if any even slightly attractive woman says, “I am attracted to you. Are you interested in seeing if we can be more than friends?” to almost any nineteen year old straight man, he will tend to say yes and have sex with you, even if he has no real romantic interest in you.

If he keeps coming over to your appartment just to say hi,That’s a pretty good indication. ;)
