Question - (24 August 2014) 4 Answers - (Newest, 7 September 2014)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I finally told him I like him, I couldn't look at him straight in the eye because I was embarrassed to admit it first. And surprisingly, he said I like you too. But then when I asked what he meant in case I misinterpret it, he said I like you not as a friend but as a person. I'm confused, what does that mean? I don't know if I should be happy or sad.

if he meant that he doesn't like me enough to pursue a relationship but would like to stay as a friends, how should I act around him? because the more I get to know him or be friendlier with him, the more I feel like I'm falling for him. I'm scared to get my heart broken again. What should I do?

Since that day, we had a sort of whirlwind romance. We'd talk on the phone almost everyday, even if I'd call first and he couldn't answer me back right away, he'd call me. We've had two dates since. Those were probably the best date I've ever had in my life. Everything flowed so naturally. We talked, laughed, stared at each other in blissful happiness. But things are a little complicated in each of our lives that I've decided not to pursue it and he respected it.

Funny how words can mean several different things but I'm glad I listened to my gut and just sought out the answer to see where it will lead. Now I know that he wanted to date me and that he was attracted to me. 3

Honeypie agony auntI would presume he likes you AS a person. As in, you are a good person. Not JUST a good friend.

Does it mean he WANTS to date you? Not necessarily. Since he hasn't asked you out, knowing that you "like like" him. You can be attracted to someone and NOT want to date them.

And seriously, BE honest with people around them.

Well, I am a very happy girl today because when we talked on the phone today, I asked (very softly because I was soo embarrassed and yet very curious to know for sure) if he is attracted to me and he said "I am." (in a very serious tone). I feel like time just stopped and I'm in heaven. I think I'm already in love but it's too soon to tell really. And to know where this will go and I just want to take things slow and savor each moment I have with him hoping one day it leads to something promising. I know its too much to ask but this is enough for me now.

thank you both for your opinions. On that one day when i was confused, i thought he meant he didn't like me (in a romantic way). i was shocked at how heartbroken i felt to the point where i shed tears when no one could see me. Obviously I pretended I didn't care when I was in front of him. Ugh....love and emotions are really complicated things.

I like you as a person means he likes your personality.

He aint saying that. So dont assume.
