I'm an 18 year old girl and I'm not sure whether a guy likes me or not.He is not the type to flirt, is shy, and is really only friendly to girls and as far as I know doesn't show interest romantically in them, and I'm pretty certain he's not gay.He has got nervous around me and strikes up conversations, sometimes asking my opinion on something, though they seem to be quite dead end. I have caught him checking me out and he sometimes teases me. He talks to me quite a bit about how he feels on things, and shows he cares by giving little bits of advice, and other little things like suggesting a medicine when I'm ill. He also smiles and takes an interest - college, what I want to do in my gap year etc.I don't want to overstep if he just wants to be friends. We don't have the same circle of friends so I can't tell through them. I also think a guy could be like this if he's being friendly?How can I tell?

I think you should just continue to be friends and not read anything into it. He may be more comfortable around you because you don't pressure him, and he feels he can be himself. Don't attach your feelings to shy guys right away. They will frustrate you, and run the minute you take on the more aggressive role.
Shy boys have to learn to let girls know when they're interested and show some maturity. Girls shouldn't have to spend a lot of time trying to figure them out. Presume he is gay until he gives you reason to think otherwise.
Seriously, how long can you be shy around somebody you see all the time?
