I've become close to this guy, could it be something more than just friends?

A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

So, for the past few weeks there's this guy that I've become real close with. We have one class together and in a short one we just have become he best of friends. Sometimes I think it's more friendship an I don't want to get myself thinking like that because I know in the end I'll get hurt. Well, about a week ago he broke up with his girlfriend. And ever since then, he would always come up and talk to me. Like just say things like, "I miss you!" "where were you at lunch?" "I need a massage today" just like those kind of things. and at times when we would see each other he would give me a huge hug! Then one night I put up new photos of myself on Facebook and he liked them both. I don't know maybe he's just being friendly?

He does sound like he likes you, but like others have said, he may just be feeling lonely, and even HE may not be aware of it. Just give it time (a good few months at least) and if you stay close by all means give it a go, just don't fall into the trap of a rebound relationship, because everything you do, he will be comparing you to his ex, and you don't want that. Best of luck :)

Yeah he's definitely trying for a rebound. He's likely feeling unloved and lonely after splitting up with his ex and is trying to fill it in any way he can.

For now, don't take the bait, but continue to be a good friend. If he does really like you, he'll continue to persist. If he's just looking for someone to fill the void, he'll likely move on.

If you wanted to be more forward about it, you could honestly take the initiative and talk to him. When you get down to talking, ask him about his ex and if the break up was rough on him. Depending on his answers, you can probably guess what he's after.
