Question - (8 March 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 9 March 2011)
A female United Kingdom age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Does this guy like me? I'm usually good at telling if a guy likes me, I just can't seem to get a grip on this one.

Whenever I'm with him, there's a strong sense of tension. Sexual tension? I think. It isn't helped by that bloody smirk he always has when he's talking with me. He's invited me round his house a few times. Once we ended up led on his bed together watching a film, playing footsie. He always tickles me, until I'm almost crying, and he knows how much I hate being tickled. There's always little touches between us. Subtle touches. He strokes my legs when we're sat together, he plays with my hair, when we're talking he might play with my hands. And whenever we do talk, he keeps his voice low, and a lot of the time whispers in my ear, as if we're telling each other secrets. He's a drummer and whenever we're listening to a song together he'll end up drumming on my knees, it's so cute. He always makes a point of sitting next to me, or near me if I've sat with someone else. He has nick names for me. He always shows off in front of me. The third time I met him, he asked me if I had a boyfriend, and how long I'd been single.

The reason I can't seem to get a grip on him, is he always takes forever to text back, if at all. Sometimes he'll not talk to me for days. When we're around a lot of people he seems really...I wouldn't say distant, but he always seems so composed, quiet and serious, and he hardly pays attention to me if we're around a lot of people. Two or three people, he does. Any more and it's like he doesn't know me. I don't know if this will help at all, but he's a Capricorn I think. Born on January 11th.

Thanks.

tennisstar88 agony auntIf it's hard to tell from his body language alone, then it's best to be forward and lay it out on the table. Neither you or I can read minds, so it's best to inquire.

Life's about taking risks, you never know until you take a RISK and ask.

Two things:

1. do NOT go out on a limb and tell him how you feel

2. Ditch the Zodiac nonsense

When I was reading your post I thought he sounded really nice when he's with you - perhaps too shy to try to take things further.

But then I read how he behaves with you in public and that he is very irregular about maintaining contact with you. Not the actions of someone who has strong feelings for you.

Perhaps you are just a buddy to this guy, it's hard to tell.

Can I suggest that next time he texts you out of the blue you don't make yourself so available to him. Tell him you can't meet because you've got something else to do (make something up!) - don't start to be a doormat. If he has feelings for you he'll soon change his behaviour if he really wants to be with you.

My strong advice would be to get on with your own life. Look on this guy as a friend, albeit a fairly inconstant one. Put yourself and your life first and stop worrying about Mr Capricorn.

tennisstar88 agony auntI don't believe that zodiac signs have anything to do with compatibility or describing him as a person.

From your post it sounds like he's flirting but the only way to know for certain is to ask him yourself. Or go out on a limb and confess your feelings to see if he reciprocates.
