writes:How do you ever know if a guy likes you (but is too afraid to tell you) or just cares for you as a friend? I have a guy friend whom I've known for two years. He's helped me a lot and been through a lot with me. One day he suddenly texted "I like you very much." Frankly I was very happy when he said that. And I told him "I like you very much too." But after that reply, be changed topics. Over the next few days, he has been saying things like how nice it would have been if we met earlier and got together. As of now I'm not looking for a relationship because I just got out of one and if I got together with him it'd be rebound. Personally I feel that I should wait for at least half a year. And when I said I liked him too I meant that I really cared for him a lot, he means a lot to me, and I have a crush on him. But what does the things he say mean? Am I reading too much into things?

 Just directly ask him the context in which he meant it in such as do u like me more than just a friend or only platonic?
That seemed to me a little out of the blue for him to be saying I like you very much because most friends would not have to tell each other that they like each other :)
If you over analyse things, u can misinterpret simple words and actions so i would go with ur intuition on this one, but do not string this guy along if u feel that it would only b a casual relationship so prematurely after uve been burnt from ur previous one. u r doing the right thing by letting ur wounds heal but dont delay otherwise ironically this guy mite have moved on to someone else by the time u r ready
good luck :) xxx

 When a guy says "he likes you very much" that means he is romantically interested in you. If you are not ready for another romantic relationship, I wouldn't be saying it back.
I am confused when you say that after he told you he liked you that he "changed topics". What is he supposed to do, continually tell you that he likes you? It doesn't sound as if he changed topics to me because he followed up by saying he wished you would have met sooner. In other words..."I wish we would have met sooner because I REALLY LIKE YOU!"
Seems pretty plain to me.
