"You Never Know"

Last night I was looking for a friend of mine who I've really quite liked in 'that' way for a long time now. I ended up outside his block in halls, talking to a couple of his friends who I told I was looking for him and I needed to tell him something important, to which they said 'Oooooh' and gave each other a weird look. I was a bit confused and was like 'What? We're just friends, he doesn't like me like that'. to which his friend said... 'You never know' and gave me an ominous look, lolll. I don't know what to think of that as they're always whispering and acting weird when I'm around so does he like me or not?!

It's impossible to tell.

It is impossible to tell, but I'm in a similar situation (only with less of a clue if that's possible) and we can only live in hope. :frown:

Oh just ask him. Same goes for if someone goes 'who knows' when regarding your joint future. People aren't ambiguous for no reason. He might fancy you, he might be worried that you fancy him & has discussed it with his friends. Either way, it's not totally out of the blue, so just... ask :smile:

Put it this way: Theres a chance. Go for it. I would...

There's only one way to find out....ASK HIM!! :biggrin:

To add even more confusion to the situation, he also said to his friend 'I don't think she likes me'... making it even more ambiguous.

sounds like hes into you and has told his friends

ok he likes you and think you don't feel the same...you like him and don't think he feels the same. Oh such a common situation.

Now someone has to let the other know they like them so everything can come out into the open :smile: :P let it be you!

Before I do, IN CASE I GET SHOT DOWN... is there any way I can know 100% that he likes me without asking?

Reply 12

Nope.

Reply 13

nope you just have to ask

Reply 14

No there is no way to know what someone else is thinking unless you have some amazing mind reading abilities. Just talk to him about it, it's not that scary.

You're friends so when it comes to situation where you can talk privately, take a deep breath in and say it. He wont 'shoot you down' cos you're friends, he wont be looking to upset you. But its an obvious situation, where your just embarrassed to make the first move.

good luck!!

It's happened to me and I hated it because I knew that if i did anything then it could damage our friendship so I bottled it up and let the "musk" (couldn't think of term `n just watch documo on animals ! ) fade away. Thankfully that was all it was - build up of some horny-ness.:rolleyes:

Lol, theres no danger of that happening with us. We already slept together once a few months ago. I was just wondering if he liked me, still or whether he ever did.

Don't know if you could find out without him thinking your keen, tbh.
It'll be one of life unsolved mysteries

I don't understand this fear of rejection. I genuinely don't. Even after being rejected and rejecting people. It was never *that* bad.

Who the hell cares?!

There are two things that can happen:

1) He doesn't fancy you. You're back to where you started, but can move on as you're not tied to him now that you know you can get with other guys without ruining your chances with him. Short terms this sucks, long term this is good.

2) He does fancy you. You win. Short term this is good, long term... who knows?

You have nothing to lose. Ask him. Next time you see him alone.
