I want to ask him if he likes me but I'm afraid it will make things awkward between us.

Question - (11 March 2008) 13 Answers - (Newest, 25 March 2008)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I think we're in the friendship phase right now and that he doesn't have a crush on me. He is one year older than me and we're both in high school. He gave me a ride back to school and when I complained about his driving, he took both hands off the wheel and did some other stuff. While he was driving he seemed to look back at me with the rear view mirror. He also didn't say anything about me watching him change his clothes. He let me play with his phone and put my number in it. We've held hands twice for prayer and he squeezed mine both times and I got the idea that he wanted me to squeeze back the second time. We've gotten into each others faces at least three times, one time so close we could have kissed. We tease each other a lot but in a playful way, not harmful. He laughs at a lot of the things I say. I want to ask him if he likes me but I'm afraid it will make things awkward between us. I DO like him(:

I really think he likes me too, but now my friends are saying "Ya'll are just friends" but this specific friend doesn't see what me and this guy do so her opinion counts but she doesn't know the real stuff, she doesn't see the things I do, she just gets the stories.

I think he definately likes you. But may be worried that you don't like him. He's making excuses for him to touch you - ie your purse.

He just gives me all the signs! Like today he came in my class which he isn't in, he was in their for other reasons than me mind you. I mean he was sitting with other girls/people and I was like "Lay off him, you don't need to be near him all the time or he'll think I'm obsessive" then later on I went over to his group and he took my purse and we wrestled for it. Like he'll do stuff that makes me think he likes me alot! But I'm just nervous he'll get a girlfriend because a) he doesn't like me like THAT or b) he thinks i don't like him/ we're just friends.

Definitely a good sign!! He seems to be giving you all the hints - but can't pluck up the courage to make his move (I had to make the first move with my husband else he would never have got around to it!!)

Oh and I have caught him looking at me a lot, even from across a large room.

That's usually a good sign - from my experience anyway

But now I think I did something wrong because we'll be talking, or just fake arguing and he'll look away kinda quickly. I don't know if this is a good or bad sign, I say bad though.

I really do think you should tell him, the worst that can happen it that he will say no and you'll be a little embarrased, but he will no doubt be very flattered. It would be far worse if you waited around for ages and then had to listen to him going on about his new girlfriend if he gets one.

I don't want to rush in and ask him now since we've just started being friends like 3 weeks ago. But I don't want to wait because I'm afraid someone will beat me.

There is the chance that it would make your friendship a bit strained if he were to say that he isn't interested, although it sounds as if your friendship is strong enough to survive it. And it really does sound as if he is intersted - I would hate for you both to be waiting for the other to make the first move.

I can't really see a way that you could make it any clearer that you like him more then you already have, so I think you may have to ask him outright.

Keep us posted as to how you get on.

I'm not bold enough to go for the kiss though. I want to ask him, I'm not afraid of him saying no as much as I'm afraid of things getting weird and or him telling me he likes someone else.

It sounds like he likes you too, but is afraid of telling you for the same reason. If I were you I would go for the kiss next time you are in that position and see how he reacts. At least you'll know for sure. But I think it's a pretty good bet that he'll kiss you back.
