school help: Does he like me? - Help.com

tell him you like him or hint at it by being extra flirty

Everyone must go through this, huh? I think I have hinted at it…but the problem is that this is his first relationship. I don’t know how to break the ice about it!! I think he feels awkward and doesn’t want to be rejected

hmmm…start to talk to him in a more than friends kind of way send him signs that you like him and once u feel comfortable and confident enough tell him how u feel….and if he says he likes u back then great ur set…if not then it would be good to just be friends with him…
hope i helped ;]

Thanks, you did!! But how do you get the “more than friends” thing across? How can I send signs so he realizes it?? This is all so confusing!!

Us guys can be more shy than women realize. Even hints you might think aren’t too subtle might not be enough. I also think you should just tell him, guys like girls who can take charge.

then help him through it and take good care of him, let him know that you like him. just tell him straight forward, it may be a little awkward at first, but it sounds like he likes you, so what have you got to lose?

Thanks, y’all all the advice is great!! It’s just hard to be that straight with someone! I don’t want to sound too assertive and creepy. It’s so difficult to find the right words =]

yes i no i have the same problem with a guy and he has nevr been in a relationship either like me….soo sending signs like asking him to a dance or flirting with him and giving him compliments like you look rlly nice today or something i said to my crush ur rlly smart or something else ive done saying stuff like when he says something bad about himself reassure him and tell him hes a great person….see i just told this guy i liked him and he hasnt been talking to me lately and i think he just needs some space to think about all of this because its his first time soo if he
doesnt tell u how he feels right away then dont get discouraged k?

Confidence isn’t creepy. At worst you might intimidate him, but guys like to show off so it shouldn’t be too big of a deal if that came about.

Lol so soc0ut, if you were him, what would be your ideal way for a girl to let you know she likes you? Just say, “I like you”? It can’t be that simple, can it?? The conversation seems like it could be tense!

Tense yes! lol

Well in all situations I would warn you against writing something to him, written words can be kept and resurface. If you ever find yourself in a situation where the two of you are walking, just about to part ways, you could mention that maybe you like him. :-)

He won’t be able to focus for the rest of the day.

yes do that!!! tht is wht i did lol

Also, it will give him time to come up with a “smooth” response. ;-)

Thank you! No, I wouldn’t txt or IM it. We would have to be face to face. I like hte parting ways b/c it does give him time BUT I just don’t want to scare or confuse the poor boy! Now I know why boys are so shy about telling girls how they feel!! It takes a lot lol

yes it does u have to build up a lot of courage to say it but u can do it!!
haha

gtg ttyl tell us wht happens!!!! ;]

Also, it might throw him off guard. So if you’re near a rail or a locker, GREAT. And don’t expect him to walk away, if your at your locker. he might not be able to…..

ALWAYS remember, guys are idiots. We could just as soon walk into a wall as say something stupid. And yes, please keep us informed!

Be extra flirty !! and maybe kindah give him a little hint, like uhmm… hey, uhm just a thought do you want to go to the movies with me… kindah like a date??Its kool if you dont want to.. im just throwing it out there. Then he kindah knows you lik him. (:

ok try telling him how you feel

We’ve gone out before! Like on dates! I just can’t get things to go further…or have us “talk about how we feel”. It’s hard!

You could say something like: “Lets say, hypothetically, I liked you a lot… what would happen next?”

The question is very transparent and yet resolves itself some comfort in anonymity. He should feel more comfortable answering something like that, sense he’s not good at conveying his emotions.

Don’t be alarmed if he clutches onto this “hypothetical game,” all his answers could start with “Well, hypothetically…”
Its easier to say things when you’re not really saying things. :-)
