GAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!

I'm so confused and need help!

This guy I like who I've known for 2 years from my sports club apparently likes me, and at times I think he likes me since he's always friendly and jokey and chatty with me and not so much to other girls. he'll 'steal' my i-pod and change the song I'm currently listening to and show me his all time favourite tunes.

Also, when we were at an a away match and we had to take a bus to another county, another boy (who I played mixed doubles with-see below-) was joking about stealing my seat next to him. This guy I like nudged me and said 'Do NOT let him take your seat!' My mum said it was because he was jealous and resented the other guy for playing mixed with me.

He asked me to play mixed doubles (racket sport) with him and I couldnt since I already had a partner and according to other people (RELIABLE people, by which I mean other parents at the club - we have a really tight-knit community and everyone likes everyone) he was really upset and didn't want to play with anyone else, bot even huis partner from last year.

According to my Mum (who had 5 brothers and who I consider a reputable source) he likes me as in 'likes' me, likes me.I'd really like some other opinions on this!

Also: how can I show him I like him without being screamingly obvious,

and how can I ask him out if he doesn't do it first?

PLEASE HELP!!!

Sorry for the long post!

you should just come out with it b/c believe it or not guys are shy too lol...i have issues with that too i never go the obvious way and tell the girl how i feel and it always ends up bad b/c they think im just wanting to be friends so he could be shy when it comes to his feelings...heres a few tips if you dont want to be obvious when asking (he still might throw you curve balls but just try)

when you talk to him be it text phone convo...etc

man and obvious statement as a joke

say you say something "dinggy" and he says something to joke like "gees your dingy" make comment like shut up you know you want me or you know you love it....just sumthing on those lines not full proof but hey its worth a shot.....

p.s. thanks for your help on my problem

TasteofIndia agony auntI agree with Satin. What's wrong with being obvious? Subtlety will get you a lot more of this endless flirting game that you've got going on, but if you want to make things happen, help the guy out and make it obvious what your intentions are.

You're already doing heavy duty flirting and it's clear he's into you. So do the fella a favor and put yourself out there.

Good luck, sweetness!

Match his level of interest. In this case, he's being fairly forward - in his own playful way - to let you know he likes you. You need to be a bit more forward and obvious yourself. Time to ask him out!

Go up and tell him YOU were bummed about not being able to play doubles with HIM and ask him to play tennis/racquet sport with you. When he agrees say "Good, it's a date!" He should get the hint.

If, for some reason he can't play or whatever then say "Sounds like I'm going to have to ask you out on a more romantic date to get your attention..." and watch his face LIGHT UP with a HUGE smile! (This means he likes you!) Follow that with "Know of any good movies playing?" and set up your date. He should be yours!!!
