We have known eachother for about six years now, and (I think) that there has always been that attraction between us, because he always seems to treat me differently than other girls, and he seems to behave differently around me than he does around other girls. I am really confused here. Most of the time I can think back and I can be pretty sure that he likes me. He is the brother of a girl that I play soccer with, and at games (when he comes) he is always looking at me. At practices (when we sporadically have practices with the team he is on) he always seems to treat me differently than the rest of the girls. Although it's almost like he seems afraid of me. He looks at me all the time, but while he will talk to the other girls and interact with them a little bit (he's fairly shy, as am I), even if I say something to him he pretty much pretends not to here me. Except for this one time at a soccer practice when we were on the same team, and our team was off, so we went to sit down and wait for our turn, and while he usually stands way over on the side of the stage (in the gym where we were practicing) this time he came over and sat right (and I mean RIGHT) beside me every time. He actually ended up sitting in the exact same position as me.The other big thing was that I added him as a friend on Facebook (hoping that maybe that would make him a bit more comfortable with me) and he accepted, but he still completely ignores me.I'm sorry if this is long and confusing, but I really don't know what to do. Sometimes he seems like he's interested, and sometimes he seems like he wants nothing to do with me. I just really need a second opinion. And by the way, telling me to just ask him isn't really an option at this point because I'm on a soccer team with his sister and his mom is my soccer coach, and I don't want things to get really awkward.

moptop197 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionYes, he's very shy (just like me), and no, he's never dated anyone else before. He has friends that are girls, but no actual "girlfriends". I've liked him for about four years (pathetic huh?) and I know that we have definately gotten more comfortable around eachother. Me more than him, I think. You're answers were really helpful though.

I think the odds are very high that this guy likes you because I act the same way. I am 22 years old, but when I really like a girl I tend to get this huge feeling of nervousness and sometimes act really awkward, and question what I'm going to do or say. At 18 years old, I was even worse.
If you want to know without asking, just make a little move like stepping closer, looking at him longer, or touch his arm or something. (but, don't lead him on if you don't like him). Odds are that he'll respond to it in some way, giving you a better idea.
