writes: This guy I really like flirts with me, nothing explicit, just like smiling, staring and winking at me. However, I know he has a girlfriend. Not knowing his current situation with his girlfriend, they maybe on the verge of breaking up for all I know...does anyone have any ideas what I can do to find out if he is genuinely interested in me, or is he just being friendly?

Flirting is good fun, to flirt or to be flirted at is in the main harmless and makes us feel special.
But if he has a partner and is flirting with you then its not good as there is potential for harm to someone be it you or the partner.
Now he maybe just the sort of guy who flirts naturally and you could be his gran and he would still be flirting with you, or yes he could fancy you and want to take it a step further.
Next time he winks at you, smile and wink back then turn sexily away, that should give him the message and he will then either persue you further or think you are a nice girl and leave it at that as he was just being friendly and to flirt to him is like breathing.
If he does want to take this further, be brave and ask about the current partner before getting involved as you dont want to be his bit on the side or the one that splits them up.

I would suggest you just carry on with life and don't pin too many hopes on this guy. He's attached and if he is interested and approaches you...you would be wise to look a his display of poor character for doing such a thing while he's still attached. I always surmise that when people do this to otheres they are in relationships with..they could do it to others, as well.
Be smart, hun and see it for what it really is.
