A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I need to know how to read my guy friend's signals. I have fallen head over heals for one of my guy friends.

He is a super nice guy always complimenting me, always flashing me smiles, lots of quick --hold my stare eye contact, but I don't know if it's interest or friendship. I don't want to risk ruining our friendship if he doesn't feel the same.

He talks to me on the phone, but usually I call first. When I mention how much I talk he always says he enjoys our conversations or that he is listening. What are good communication signs that he is feeling the same? Also, sometimes when we are around each other he seems to spend alot of time with me; then other times he just goes off and watches T.V. or stays in another room away from where I'm at. Any advice on how to tell if your guy friend is interested in more than being "just friends" would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds to me like he likes you.

Don't assume that because he goes into another room "away" from you that he might not. He could very well be seeing if you'll follow him or if you're interested.

My advice is to just ask him and be prepared for any answer. Let him know that it wont change anything, but you're curious about how he feels.

Thank you so much for the advice. I want to approach him, but if I'm wrong I don't want there to be any awkward moments afterwards.

kenny agony auntI think this guy is showing you all the classic signs of fancying you. For starters maintaining eye contact is one of the most flirtatious tools you can use to let someone know you like them, and smiles to go with it says it all. I use eye contact and smiles when i really like someone, and if it is someone i don't fancy i tend to look away after a couple of seconds. He also likes to spend alot of time around you, which is also another good sign. Other things to look out for are touches, like if he touches your hand when taking something, or playfully taps your arm, or your leg. He may get tongue tied during conversation, or blush when you enter the room. reciprocate the flirting with him,return the eye contact and the smiles. After a couple of week of this and he has not asked you for a date, why don't you ask him if he fancies doing something one weekend.

All the best & good luck x

Samutsen agony auntNormally, he would have asked you out until now, if he was genuinely interested in you as a woman also. I mean out for a dinner, romantic dinner, or movie, one on one. But he did not. May be he is too nice, may be he is gay (which I don't think) and may be he has a girlfriend (which you would know).

One other possibility is he may not be able to tell from YOUR behavior whether you like him (it is because you might be equally too nice to many other men also).

But since it is hard to tell at this given moment his real feelings you need to make an additional effort and regardless of whether he is interest in you or not it may be a good idea to give this situation a little push on your side and invite him for a romantic dinner at your place or at a restaurant and make him know how much he is special for you. He seems to be worth it for you.
