how can you tell if a guy likes you?

ok this is going to sound really stupid, but what the hell :cool:

ok just to start off, it's my b-day today guys! :smile:

well anyway, moving on...

i was in a restraunt with my parents yesterday and i saw this guy i knew, who is a waiter- i didn't actually know this until i was actually in the restraunt so it was too late for me to turn back! I was quite embarrassed actually because i hate bumping into people i know from school especially in restraunt lol. So anyway i thought, everything will be ok as long as he doesn't serve me and what does he do?!? serves me, damn it. So i just acted polite, i wasn't forward or anything, in fact my parents said i acted like i had never met him in my life lol smooth :cool: then he found out it was my b-day and when i was getting my dessert he put a little candle in it and said happy birthday :redface: :redface: :redface: thank god there were only four couples in the rest lol. I was quite embarrassed.

then today i was sitting in my classroom (i was quite early) sitting talking ot my friend then he came into thew classroom- which he never does, highly coinsidential and said 'did you have a nice b-day?' which i thought was sweet to say. Then his other friends came in and started play fighting. Now do guys usually do this for the fun of it or was he showng off? I have no idea! Then the teacher came in and told them off lol (which i thought was quite funny) and we kind of exchanged funny looks. Laughing a bit to each other.

Now is he just really friendly or is there something in this? Help me out guys i on't want to feel like a **** lol.

p.s i'l be so embarrssedif he reads this lol

Why would it be suicide?

The problem with people is that they try to out-guess each other and play games. Just say, "Hey, I'm not being weird or anything, but you don't fancy me do you?" Random, but it's worked for me in the past. Alternatively, you could cover yourself in edible chocolate and launch yourself at him... though I sense that you won't.

Erm, i can't really tell from that.

Were you friends prior to this? If you were then it's likely he was being friendly.

However, if you'd never spoken to him before (properly) then i'd say he may do. BUt, it's percentages and we cannot be sure, ultimately you have to take a risk.

Play fighting?! (how old lol)

Hmm well the fact that he went into your classroom and he never usually would is a good sign, the fact he spoke to you is another good sign, the fact that he was acting a bit macho blokey infront of you is a good sign, the fact you had a little laugh together is also a good sign.

I guess maybe over the next few days if something else happens between you then you might have a better idea.

He might like you... some immature boys playfight only to show off I think, yeah.

Do you fancy him? looks it...

Reply 9

just go on msn and invite him into a convo with me, i will find out for u :wink: :biggrin: lol!

Reply 10

if u fancy him get a friend of yours to find out for you.......... if you don't fancy him.. then that's cool.... y should u be bothered?

But above,,pleaz don't try to interpret his behaviour....... nooooooo.... big mistake... trust me...

Reply 11

Thats right dont interpret his beheavour, it'll get you know where. guys have weird brains totally diff to ours which means that you'll think you know what hes doing when really he isnt all

Reply 12

Just be open with him. Talk to him, find a topic of conversation. When you've got a rapport, ask him if he'd like to go out. He'll almost certainly say yes.

It could be embarrassing if you just walk up to him and say "do you fancy me" - it's a bit off-putting.

Guys think exactly the same as girls, but act differently. He's probably somewhere now thinking "she looked at me... maybe she fancies me". He'll just respond to that differently.

Reply 13

Trying to get to know him better is probably the best bet... if that seems to work, trying asking for his number or something. If you get a good response, grand - if not, you'll know for sure that he doesn't fancy you, so you can move on and find someone who does.

lol, he has never spoken to me in my life. I was quite surprised he knew my name, i nearly fell off my chair. The reason why i didn't say hi to him first because i forgot his name :redface:

Yeah i do quite like him, i think he's ok :wink: but i was just trying to interpret his body language. I'm not very good with gut feeling.

Reply 15

yeah when he did the candle thing i thought that was being polite so i didn't think anything of it. I actually thought he wanted a tip or something :rolleyes: but the next day he came into the classroom and asked me again :confused: i was just a bit suspicious lol

Reply 16

nah, ok everyone just ignore me now, i think i am talking complete crap lol. What was i thinking? I don't think he likes me, he hasn't even acknowledged me (i don't think) because i have been trying not to look at him :redface: i am so embarrssed and hate myself for liking him. Oh it's so annoying, i hate it :frown:

Has anyone else experienced this?

Reply 17

its funny cos when youre not in this kind of situation you just think "well duh.. just ask!" but I know how you feel.
I guess you just need to strike up another conversation with him and see what his reaction is. And there wont be anything embarrassing about it, after all youre just being friendly arent you?!
Has anyone else experienced this?
I know what you mean! As soon as I like someone i try and avoid eye contact not to make it obvious... but then it looks like I dont even acknowledge them and so I guess they think im rude by not talking or looking at them.
Just remember, there must have been something about his body language that suggested he liked you, otherwise you wouldnt be thinking about and start a thread about it lol! I say go for it :p:

i know! The thing is i didn't even really acknowledge him that much before, so i don't know if i picked up some sort of signals that got me thinking about him? I don't know, it's really annoying lol.

I don't really talk to him, but do you think if i stare or something i could see what his reaction would be like?

I reckon if you pay attention to his reaction when you do stare at him (but dont go all bog-eyed you *might* freak him out a little!) you'll def. find out what he thinks about you.
Cos if for example he smiles coyly, looks away and then looks back again, then youre onto a winner :champ:
However if he looks straight through you and carries on doing what he was doing it may be that he doesnt think of you in any "flirty" way so to speak.

Its quite similar, cos theres this bloke I see around my town all the time but until recently ive only just started thinking about him! May sound weird but what I mean is that I dont know whether its because ive picked up on maybe some eye contact he gives me when I see him or whether Ive only just realised hes quite fit!!
Is that the same sort of dilemma you're having? And now I tend to look away whenever I see him in case he thinks Im staring at him.... I dunno whats going on ?!:dontknow:
But Ive never thought he was all that fit before so i cant get my head round Ive started to consciously think about him!
