Q&A for How to Tell if Your Best Guy Friend Likes You

If you don't want a monogamous relationship, just say that. If he's not comfortable with that, you can't reasonably expect him to still want to date you. With that said, it's still better to just be honest and straight up when it comes to this kind of thing.

Laughter is a great social lubricant. If you find that the two of you are always laughing it up around one another, you can assume that there may be a relationship worth pursuing there.

Just be genuine and authentic. Don't filter your feelings or try to beat around the topic. If you want to tell him you like him, tell him! the clearer you are about this, the better the result will be.

His teasing may be gentle but not too harsh, and he says with a grin or a chuckle, while watching you carefully for your reaction. This sort of teasing often means that he likes you and wants your attention and is doing so using humor because he's not keen on being Mr. Serious in case you rebuff him.

It could be a crush or it could just be playful teasing. Try looking for body language or the way he talks to other girls.

Just leave it be. Don't interfere in an existing relationship. If he decides he likes you romantically, he will probably leave his girlfriend before pursuing anything with you, if he is a decent person. If he tried cheating, that would not be a good sign. And be aware that he might seem more 'interested' in you because you're friends and he's just comfortable talking to you.

Talk to him alone and find out exactly why he is mad at you. Say that you're really sorry / sorry and that you hope that you can still be friends / that he'll forgive you. After that, don't jump right into asking him to hang out or whatever but just give him a little time.

If it's good change, like showing off and looking at you while he is showing off, then he might like you. However, "change" in and of itself is only one indicator and could mean other things, including that he doesn't like you or that he's keen to be a friend but nothing more. Don't fall for the trap of presuming that one indicator represents the whole truth.

Try to find out if he likes you, and if he doesn't, try to get over him before you truly fall for him entirely.

If he looks deeply into your eyes or blushes while doing it, he's teasing you, and probably likes you.

You can't really make a boy like you, either he does or he doesn't but if you allow him to get to know you better and see which interests you share, then he will probably change his mind about you.

Not necessarily. It shows that he cares about you and doesn't want you to get hurt, but that doesn't mean there's any romantic feelings behind it.

It could mean that he is interested in you maybe even more than his girlfriend. He may like this other girl but she isn't exactly the one that he wants.

You should stop him from pursuing it, as it can lead to misunderstandings and clashes between you and your friend.

Don't go there, for your sake and for the other girl's sake. Don't get involved with a guy who's taken. If he decides on his own to leave her for you, feel free to date him, but do nothing until he is single.

It means that he's noticed something in you or has taken keen interest in you. The chances are he probably does like you.

If you are both way past fifth grade, it is hard to tell if he feels the same. But if he still behaves as though he likes you, and you have feelings for him, just ask him out.

It could mean a lot of things, one being that he's into you. Boys can be very quiet around the girls they like. It's a possibility that he's just a shy person as well, so don't count on it.

It may mean that he likes you but is too nervous and afraid to show you his feelings, so he ignores you instead. You could always ask him about it.

Just tell him how you really feel about him. Be honest. Just be prepared for his response. He may feel the same way or may just like you as a friend.

He definitely likes you. If you like him back, you should tell him!

This means you’ve got a keeper, girl. He probably has a huge crush on you, and he might even be in love. He sounds super sweet!

Try to pay attention to how he acts around other girls, does he do the same thing? If he doesn't act like that around other girls you might have an admirer, but be careful, for a lot of guys flirting is just part of their personalities.

He's flirting with you! That is a sign that he likes you and maybe he wants to replace your boyfriend! If you like him more than your current boyfriend, you should break up with the other guy and let this one know you're interested.

If he finds a way to touch you, is flirty, and always want to be close to you then he truly does like you. When he said that he liked you he was probably telling you the truth but got scared of what you was going to say. He played it off as a joke to keep from getting hurt and rejected.

Just let him down gently. Tell him you aren't open to dating, aren't interested in guys, whatever the reason. As always, the truth works the best, just go easy.

Well, if he kisses you, he definitely likes you, but if you're not interested, just tell him that.

Tell him over text or send him a note, or just summon all your courage and tell him in person!

One of my guy friends still likes girls from his old school, even though it's been a year. If he really likes you, then most likely yes.

Maybe you should ask him if he likes you secretly, or just wait for him to ask you.
