so he thinks were just friends?

hey.

appreciate that some peoples threads on here are much more important than this! just wondered if anyone had any thoughts.

i'm a girl- 18. im starting uni next week. So for a couple of months me and this boy have been pretty much inspearable. (we live quite far away however, but he lives where im going to uni..) we talk every day, text constantly, have the best times when were together and are really really close. the problem is i don't know what we exactly 'are'? Is it normal for 'just friends' to be this close? I don't speak to my closest friends this much, he says that he thinks about me constantly.

recently i got really jealous of a girl who flirts with him constantly and he said that he wouldn't speak to her ever again cos i'm so much more important. So this suggests to me that he knows i like him (or why would i be jealous?) He recently said that it was like we were going out without the sex stuff. He says i look hot a lot and things like that. I also told him that my mum was asking me what was going on between us (a way of finding out what actually was!) and he got really worried and said that he wanted to set her straight so she doesn't think bad of him. (they get on well.)

So is anyone else really close with someoen of the opposite sex to this extent without actually having any feelings at ALL?? I don't want to ask him outright as i really don't want to lose him. whenever its vaguely mentioned i get the impression he thinks we are friends.

thanks. sorry for the rambling. xx:confused:

Sounds like you both have feelings for each other but are too shy to admit it.

you are pretty **** at interpreting stuff.

he clearly fancies you.

Erm looks like her fancies you to me. Why not just go to kiss him or if you would rather just tell him you like him. It will all be happy, flowers, cuddles and big smiles and you will be be so happy you took this advise.

because whenever i mention it... or if someone else mentions it he gets really defensive and says we're just friends. makes me wary, so i darent make a move or anything. for example we went to the pics, he paid, and the women behind the till made a remark (making out we wer together) and he was like I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE THINK THAT, JUST BECAUSE WERE A BOY AND A GIRL. pah i hate it.x

that sounds like just a defense mechanism. i know i always denied it when ppl asked me if i fancied girls i did.

if he says he wont talk to someone altogether cos u are too important....

i think you should go for it, let us know.

IF it goes wrong, most ppl r happy to be friends after a rejection.

Cool thats sorted then he prob gets defensive because he likes you and is a bit shy about it as he is unsure how you feel still.

Well since you will break the ice its all good.

Close thread?
