writes:Hey okay, theres this kid who's been my friend since the begining of last year. Lately anytime he sees me in the hallway he always runs up behinds me and pokes my sides, like, right above my hips. And then I'll squeal and turn around and he'll smile and run away. And be does this EVERY DAY. And sometimes he'll poke with one hand and when I jump, startled, he'll kind of "catch" or grab me. Then in my 4th hour class I have with him he'll either talk with me and act normal. Or, he will act shy and hardly talk to me. And he never acted like this last year, except at the end. What's up with him? Is he just messing around or does it mean something ?Thanks for the answers :)

 It sounds to me like he is looking to get your attention. It could be that he has feelings for you so this is his way off trying to grab your attention in a playful way.

reader, anonymous, writes (18 December 2011): I think he could be developing (or have) feelings for you. You mention you've been friends since the start of the previous year and this behaviour has only started recently; breaking the touch barrier like that could be a way of introducing a different dimension (i.e.: a romantic one) into your currently platonic relationship. And the fact that he sometimes grows shy when speaking to you could be caused by emotions that overwhelm him in such moments, and make him act awkwardly around you! How do you feel about him though? Do you like him as more than just a friend? All I can suggest is to wait and see how things pan out from here, as so far you have a fairly limited amount to go on. If the poking and self-consciousness persists, you could ask him straight out what's up with him - his reaction might provide you with a clearer indication of what's really going on in his head :) Good luck and take care x
