The big give away if someone likes you is if you catch them looking at you across a room.

Another thing is if they try to make physical contact - just little things like touching your arm or hugging you - things which can be totally friend-ly, but often seem a bit OTT at the time. Like if he touches your arm randomly when it's not really appropriate, he probably likes you.

Another way to tell is to spend less time with him - if he likes you, he'll do something to change it.

These situations are always difficult, it's hard I know but the best thing to do is just to come flat out and ask him! Best of luck x x x

Good advice but the problem is that we're pretty touchy feely all the time anyway, but i could try the 'spending less time with him' thing, we do spend nearly everyday together and if not we're e-mailing and texting so cheers 4 that!

Im in the same boat with another girl, not the one who says she loves me, for anyone who read my "the problem with love" thread, and I dnt know whether she likes me or not, because we have moved from hugs to kisses, looking very "coupley"!

Hump his leg. If he likes you he'll hump back.

I really cant tell the difference :frown:

you want to know why?
Because I believe the person THEMSELVES dosent very often seem to know what they are up to. Most of the guys I fancy flirt then seem to decide wether or not they want to date me only when theyve found out if I like them, kinda like we look at the price tag on clothes before deciding if we want to try them on, just to check its ok to buy before we set our heart on it. Maybe guys window shop and browse too :p:

hmm,

in my opinion ask him, youll get it off your chest and then hell understand as well, it could be that all this time hes been so touchy feely with you because hes liked you all along... the only way you can find out is by making some sort of move... or putting him in a situation where he has to..

I think people often get confused with flirting and liking. I'm a really flirty person and flirt with both sexes a lot, but that doesn't mean I want their ass.

cheers 'tabbyc@t' useful advice, makes a change around here! Lol! There is the other problem that im not entirely sure whether or not my best friend likes him as well, not to mention the fact that the two of us have been trying to help him get together with this girl he really likes out of school as well!

Hey I had the same problem once but we both worked it out in the end.
The looking at you across a room is a good one.
How does he act around other people, is he flirty with them as well? And if he is, when he hugs you, do his hugs linger a little longer? If you want to let him subtly know you could do these things too.
Does his gaze linger on you when you're saying bye?
Does he find silly reasons to call you up?

He actually doesn't like using the phone cause he never knows what to say, so he never rings anyone. and as for the hug thing, im pretty much one of the only girl mates he has so i cant really compare. Good advice though.

There's a line now???? :confused:

I flirt with lots of girls and I'd happily shag them all...that's why I flirt with them.

I think alot of people are just naturally big flirts, which is a danger now, I know that I was a big flirt, but I seem to have calmed down now. I know that it may sound stupid, but, kiss him, if he likes you, well, need I say anymore. If he doesnt like you, blame it on a moment of madness and NEVER speak of it again.
