Hi , I have this problem i like this guy and i think he likes me, we have had a thing in the past so i know him quite well! although we have drifted and only come back into contact recently. He's shy when it comes to liking girls and is not very forward about it. I don't want to ask him straight if he likes me because i don't want him to run to the hills or come on to strong ... But i was wondering is there a way of testing to see if someone likes you or not?

anything will help apart from asking him straight.

Thank you x

dietcoke.1 is verified as being by the original poster of the question

Just an update on the situation we met up ( not just us two ! like us and some friends) and he was quite touchy feely with one of my friends just like he would hold her arms over the table , i always thought he had a thing for her :/ . However after that incident he spent the night hanging around me but he was very sober and i was drunk. He kept asking me things about what i wanted to do with my life and personal stuff then went on to tell me he thinks id be a great mum and i would make someone a happy husband one day. we were very flirty and most of our conversations would be us sitting next to each other very close and looking into each others eyes. But i still think he likes my friend :/ im not sure thank you for all your advice! what do you think as an outsider? what sort of relationship is he after?

NO TESTING!!!

Testing a man is the most annoying thing a woman can do. It's boring, it's tedious, it's annoying, it's immature. A girl I like thought she'd 'test' me once. I just got tired of the pointlessness of it all and moved on. Needless to say she was hurt. But of she'd just come out and said it, she'd have saved a month of wasted time.

If you like this guy, write him a not explaining you'd like to meet him some time for a drink, or ask him whether he'd like to join you for a drink. Get to know him, see what happens, watch his reactions.

Just don't waste time testing him, or he'll get confused and wander off.

umm well, questions like these are quite difficult, but theres some basic stuff that might help, so you're talking over the internet? voice or text? im going to guess you're talking by text, if not write back :D

for example, if youre on fb, msn, skype whatever, look out for if HE talks to YOU first, thats a promising sign, personally, i think you should ask him straight, and tell him straight, tell him that you like him, and that if he didn't feel the same way that you'd understand.. but you said thats out of the question so, if you could write back with more details i guess, i would help you more :) cyaa good luck!

you could maybe get someone to ask for you... or ask him out to a friendly lunch to help you get another guys attention (maybe have another guy you know meet you there to act as the other guy, this guy should like you enough to do this and for free but not want to really get with you and he should know that he is being used to help you get another guy's attention) if the one you want seems like he's getting offended in any way, you know he has feelings for you still... if not and wants to help you get with someone else...than there is some reason he does not want to spend time with you any longer. however he still wants you to be happy either way. please keep in mind that honesty is the best policy and when approching matters of the heart sometimes it's best to do the obvious, so it can be over and done with...

Essentially what you are looking for is a different attitude towards you then everyone else. Even though you have history together he wouldn't act strange around you unless he liked you or didn't like you.

If he didn't like you then chances are he probably would be rude to you or not talk to you. So if he's not being rude and he's still talking to you then you have it made!
