Question

What if a boy thinks that I'm special to him and he enjoys texting me, but I always have to be the one that starts the conversation?

Community Answer

Try going a few days without messaging him. If he likes you, he will want to talk at some point. See if he takes the initiative.

Question

How about if he is online, but he doesn't text immediately?

Community Answer

It could mean he is busy. Some people are online all the time, but not necessarily able to chat. If he eventually messages you, it still demonstrates that he wants to chat.

Question

He wants to send me money to keep for him once he is out of the army. He wants my address, email, and phone number. Is he a scammer?

Community Answer

Possibly. How well do you know him? Do not give away any of your personal passwords or banking information. You could give him your email address and phone number and then if you ever get suspicious just block him or use a new email address.

I have a friend (guy not bf) and he keeps leading up to relationship type things. He just broke up with his GF, and asks if I have a romantic interest in anyone. Is this a sign?

Community Answer

It might be. Since he has asked you if you have feelings for anyone, you could be direct and ask him the same thing. He might open up to you.

Question

We use a Social Media that does not include the facility of sending pictures or emoticons. We also can't see that 'last seen' of the other person. What do I do in that case?

Community Answer

Look at the quality of conversation you are having. If he is interested in you, he will want to learn more about you. Alternatively, you could try sending pictures via email or use another social media site. This way you can determine if you are attracted to each other physically.

Question

One of my friends said on a video I made "go on skype ;)" is this flirting because he did the winky face?

Community Answer

Does this person often use the winky face? This may be a sign of flirting or it could just be how your friend communicates. Watch for other signs of flirtation when you communicate with him.
