girl/boy friendships

this post is mainly aimed at girls. When you have a friendship with a boy would you be really, really nice to him if you didnt fancy him in someway. Really nice meaning, over appologising for random meanigless things and constantly saying thankyou for any slight thing that he'll do for you. Its just i'm fairly good friends with this girl who i do like, but she acts like this around me but differently around other people, both girls and boys and i cant really work out where i stand with her. Also its sometimes quite awquard when were together like if were speaking and one of us interupts the we'll there telling each other to finish what we saying for abouit 5 minutes, "oh..go on" "oh.. no..you..finsh" "nah what were you saying" . I dont know why we go on like this because i'm not like this with anyone else and i wouldnt imagine she is either.

Sounds like she's into you.

Just a personality thing.

oh gosh, I do that ALL the time with my best guy buddy! LOL
Deary me. My best mate is a guy (so he says), and I just treat him like a brother or something.. I dunno. We're mates.

I think she wants to ride your ripples :smile:
Yeah, does kinda sound like she's into you. It depends on *your* personality, though - I have two very close guy friends, one of whom I'm like that with and it's just because he's fairly quiet and stuff and I'm more into talking to him. With the other, we act fairly more argumentative and so I don't apologise for speaking over him - we'll cuss one another out, he'll insult my intelligence, I insult him back ... So it's the dynamic between the two of you. If she's really into you, she'll be flirting - and you can tell *that* by how she acts around other guys. When you're disinterested in a guy, you'll just act like one of his mates - behaviour becomes a bit more playful, guy-like. When you're into him, you get girly. :biggrin:

Im like that with boys im friends with, i suppose its just a personality thing, you cant help it. Some people just are like that, however she may well like you. You could always try and subtley find out.

Difficult one to call, watch how she acts around other male/female friends?? It depends on her personality overall I would say, i.e I myself act in a sort of teasing, jokey, close way with friends of both gender, and I don't fancy them! Is there any sexual chemistry there? I would hazard a guess and say it's either 1) she likes you as more than a mate..and wants you as her mate! (hehe!) 2) she just acts like that with everyone 3) she feels so comfortable around you (as she doesn't see you in a sexual manner) that she can act in manner which might otherwise be construed as flirting.

Yeah, I agree with what other people have said. It really depends on the person. She might be that way with other guys you haven't seen her with. Some girls are just flirts.... :dontknow:

i honestly think that you would probably know better than anyone of us on here, as u know her personally. but i do agree that it really depends on the person, it does sound like she likes you though. has she always been like this?
its kind of hard to tell i guess. given that you know her better than anyone else here then you'll be the best judge. but im like that with one of my girl friends. and she has a boyfriend already so i wouldnt bank on it being a tell tale sign..:confused: its a puzzler!

Pish. Misread the signs and it'll be game-over.
Either she's into you or she's just that sort of person. I'm like that with most people. But you did say she wasn't like it with anyone but you so it could be a sign that she likes you.
Maybe she just thinks of you as a really "special" friend; the type that you just love to bits (without actually loving) and just click really well. With my close guy friends I'll make fun of them, tell them how much I miss them, talk about really personal stuff..anything really :P I guess like someone above said, it's just the 'dynamics' between you 2. I think a way of telling though is whether she tries to do stuff to have more physical contact with u? Difficult to judge I think!

i was in the same position as you. i just was talking to her one day and asked her if she just saw me as a friend or something more. she said something more and she is a very private person. if she wants to have something more than just a friendship, then i think that she will give the same answer, you will be able to tell if she is lying. if she says just a friend then asks why. you can always just say that u were just curious, or that some people were saying some things and you were just making sure that the rumours werent true. etc.
