I'm scared to ask if he likes me because if he doesn't our friendship will be ruined

Question - (9 November 2012) 2 Answers - (Newest, 10 November 2012)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, *rangeyellow writes:

Hi I really like this guy from my school but I dont know if he feels the same way about me because he always send me mixed messages and that I have never ever dated before...

List of things that made me feel like he likes me:

1) He always initiate conversations with me after school hours with random topics, and we can go on and on for hours until 2am. He also includes a lot of 'haha's and emoticons which he hardly uses in group conversations.

2) He is always very nice to me and helps me with my homework. I will bombard him with heaps of maths questions, but he will patiently solve everything.

3) When he talks to me in person, he laughs a lot and he seemed to be genuinely enjoying talking to me. He blushes whenever people tease us too.

4) When he came back from a school trip to Italy, I was the only girl he bought something for. And it was a girlish teddy bear.

5) He shared secrets with me that he claimed he never told anyone, which I believe is true because he always has a poker face and no one ever knows his secrets.

But:

For all I know, maybe he just thinks of me as a good girl friend to talk to. Like... A chat mate or something? Besides, he does talk to other girls as well, though their conversations dont run that long. And he has never claimed that he liked me or what... I really dont know if I should ask him, because if he rejects me, our friendship would be gone and I really liked talking to him.

What should I do?

alyssajanemccarton agony auntWell, tbh sweetie, it's indeed impossible for us to know if he likes you or not from all that you've told us. Guys are I fathomable creatures; they can say one thing and do another. Thus, the only way to confirm that he does indeed like you would be to ask him directly. Then again of course, this would be very awkward would it not?

Hmm, well, judging from what you've said, I think that he does indeed like you. As a friend or something more; I don't know. But hey, it's a start right?

1) Usuauly, guys can't be bothered to strike up conversations with girls unless they're really good friends or he holds some interest in her. Clearly, both situations are applicable to you ;). Plus hey, he's sacrificing his sleep for you! That's always good right..??

2) Guys in general like to think of themselves as a knight in shining armor (hahaha), thus if they like a girl, they'd go all out to help her. Think about it; apart from homework, does he help you otherwise?

3) Wow, blushing is always a cute and good sign that you've caught yourself a shy one!

4) This is definite proof that you're one of the more important girls in his life. Are there many to begin with, hmm?

5) this is definite proof that he regards you as a good friend. :)

So, what are you going to do about it? Don't let him be "the one that got away", will you? Don't live your life in regret; it's better to always try. If not, you guys can still remain friends! Don't sweat, sweetheart.

If you still require help, feel free to PM me on Dearcupid! Keep us updated please! Cheers. Xoxo

Hmm its a tricky one.. do you go out places together outside of school such as the beach or cinema? If not then maybe you could suggest it casually like ' hey i wanted to go to............on the weekend do you want to come with me?' If you want to get a better idea of how he feels without asking him then try and spend more time with him and see where it goes? Things may progress on their own and if you see eachother more, it gives him the oportunity to say something if he wishes to. Also it may be that he will act as though it is a date in which case you will be able to gage wether or not to ask him about his feelings. I hope this helps and I havent rambled on too much im very tired lol
