Since we are housemates now, does that mean he is off limits?

A female Australia age 36-40, anonymous writes:

So here's the deal... I met this guy through mutual friends about 2 years ago. He's a relatively shy guy when hes around people he doesnt know and hasnt really had a girlfriend.

We all hang out go out for dinners, parties etc and we always got along really well. When we were out I could usually get him to come dance with me, it'd normally take a bit of convincing but there was this one song that we always danced to. On a few occassions over the years we have kissed. I really started to like him and my friend told me he'd said he liked me too, but nothing ever came from it so i guess I kinda moved on.

Anyway, circumstances changed and now im living in a share house with him and a few mates. It was fine at first but now I think I like him again. Theres certain things that make me think maybe hes interested too. He always sticks up for me around his friends, he gets edgy when we are out if other guys are getting too friendly...but is that just him being protective?

Just the other day, he did something else which made me wonder... we were sitting around talking with a few friends and I was really bummed about something that happened at work. He started whistling the song (that we used to dance to), which put a big smile on my face. The others asked what song it was and he told them it was a personal favourite. Later on he told me that song was for me and and that he would do anything to see me smile and make me happy.

One of my friends told me that since were housemates its a definite no-go zone, even if it turns out he liked me back, while others are saying I should go for it.

i'm sure im probably just a classic case for 'hes just not that into you' but i thought i'd get some opinions before i rule this one out.

how can I tell if hes interested in the first place?

if it turns out he is should i do anything about it?

any advice, thoughts or help??

RA123 agony auntMan.....how blind are you?! He so wants you and you should jump on it..not it literally but you know what i mean...

Being a guy, I can tell you that going out of his way to stick up for you and doing things to cheer you up definately holds a little weight. When he sticks up for you are you ever in the wrong?

If you don't want to straight up ask him, you should do something in which you are TOTALLY in the wrong and see if he still sticks up for you.

If so.....show up at his door at 3 in the morning wearing your robe and something nice underneath! Good Luck...

Cheers
