Lets say you’re a girl and your best guy friend asks you this.
“Looking for a boyfriend?”
what do they mean?
plus when i asked him about it later(the same day.. only ten minutes later), he just says he can’t remember and asks me if i do (of course i do, but obviously he didn’t want to talk)
what just happened here? please help, i really want to talk to him but things are so akward.. i need a way to approach this.

First, you have to give some context to him saying this. He didn’t just walk up to you and say this then walk away? What was your conversation about, what is your friendship like, etc.
He asked you a question…that’s what happened. If you think he wants to ask you to be his girlfriend just ask him. No need to beat around any bushes, guys prefer a straight forward approach. If you really think he’s interested, ask him. He won’t mind.
ok well for Mr.D we were just goin like “sup” and we’re real close u know like always sayin “hey bestest friend!” stuff like that. I asked him “wassup?” and he just said “nothin.. just bored.” then i said, “ya thats cool me too” and then he just said “so. lookin for a boyfriend?”
like, we’ve had our, i dunno, lovey-ish moments but i never thought he was interested, just that we were real close
I really think you should just flat out ask him about it. You could be right, maybe it’s just that you’re close, and he was just asking a question, that’s all. But maybe it’s something more. Do you want to be with him? Are you hoping he wants to be with you? Ask him, don’t be afraid. You’re close to him. He won’t mind. And if he does want to be with you, he’s going to mind you asking about it even less hehe.
I think you should devise a plan to ask a friend to ask him if he likes you, and then have that friend relay a message to another friend and then tell you. Then you can spend a couple of months analyzing the situation and then make your move.
… or, you could just talk to him about it.
By the sound of it, you were chatting online? It’s way too easy to mistake what someone is saying if it’s not in person. I’d say just talk to him if you’re really that close.
anyways. how would you start a conversation.. like, “hey can i talk to you about something?” ?
he probably likes u
He asked you out there, just subtly. When you didn’t take the bait he panicked and thinks you’re not interested, so now he doesn’t want to mention it. Yah, he likes you.
ya but how would you talk to him about the situation.. how would i start a cobversation???
That’s up to you. There is no right or wrong way to say hey, I’ve been thinking about this…
Actually, it’s a brilliant idea. It’s a light, happy approach. And keeps things on a high note. Seven, you’re awesome.
Hey, I’m a Litkid. I’m supposed to have a way with words.
But anyway, be warned: there’s always the chance he’s not interested at all. Evidence suggests otherwise, but it could be just circumstantial. Or however it’s spelt. In any case, don’t be certain until you can be certain.
funny. my dilemma is solved and now we have a completly different conversation going on here :)
by the way you did spell it right, sevenfold
I recommend that one never let their feelings remain unspoken, ever, it is worth the risk; as rejection is very easily overcome, and the heart is usually filled once the next lust comes along, especially in youth.
For, the feelings which shall haunt you, well into old age; and, the heartache which will consume your mind and your very soul it seems at times, is not due to any lost, but known, love or lust.
The one boy who will fill your dreams, and haunt you, is the one that got away; the one you never told, or risked losing, seen as no more than friendship when he was infact more real and true a love than any the boys who circled you like vulchures back then.
He is the boy next door, the locker buddy who laughed when you slammed your head for the 13th time, or the one who showed sarcasm daily, repeatedly, to mask his crush on you; these are the men, and women too, you will compare to all others, in time, trust me.
It is the one you may never even have kissed, or maybe you did once on the night of graduation; but, I am here to tell you that he will be the one who shows up online the eve of the 30th reunion and makes you giggle like you were 17 again. And you both will always wonder what would have been, for the next 30; should one of you not risk to now reply.
The man that now, even all grown up, still seems the safe and steady anchor on your heart; and shall remain within you, haunting you, like a fatherly ghost. For now much older, and much wiser, you can both ask why? Why you did not say anything then??
Why you never told each other how you felt, clearly, and why you had never answered him really; that time he asked you, “Looking For a Boyfriend?” Why you did not hear him, and did not listen?
Why .. “Never Mind Me.”
