I met this guy, George, and we really hit it off. He's 19 and I'm 20, so I only thought of him as a friend at first. Also he was dating a girl when classes first started but they are no longer together now. He started off telling me that I was gorgeous multiple times, and walking me to classes. We went out to eat with a group of friends several times, and during one of these outings, he started playing footsies with me, and being extremely flirtatious. I didn't know how to handle it and just got really red and nervously laughed. Then this past weekend, we were together with a group of friends, getting ready to watch a movie. I walked up holding a bag of candy and popcorn, and when he saw, he put his arms around me in a hug and said "I WANT TO SIT WITH MY NEW BEST FRIEND." and insisted that we sit together the whole night, arranging the seats and everything. We sat in an individual person chair together, and were smushed together. But he started going on and on about how his ex was like the main girl in the movie, and that he was like the main guy, her parents were like the bad guys etc. He brings her up all the time now, and didn't used to do that. I feel stupid because it seems obvious to me that he doesn't want to be with me, but he's just so flirtatious and nice. What should I think?

reader, anonymous, writes (19 October 2012): This is really simple: he just likes to flirt. It could be with you, other girls, or anything female. Why? Because it's fun. It gives you an ego boost and it's a natural thing to do.
Just because a guy flirts with you doesn't mean he likes you, wants to date you or make you his girlfriend. He clearly sees you more as a friend than anything. A friend he can flirt with, but a friend nevertheless.
