writes:I have a guy friend who regularly sends me selfies of himself (nothing sexual or shirtless) just pictures from his shoulders up usually or a close up of his face. I don't ask for them. Last week he sent me a selfie of his new hairstyle, with the caption "my sexy new hairstyle". I just replied hahaha, and said that my new hairstyle is better. He replied saying "can I see" with a winking emoji. I think he was insinuating that I send him a selfie back (which I never do).Can someone please tell me if this means he likes me more than a friend? Why did he want me to send a selfie?

He seems to like you as a friend but maybe he is just an outgoing and social guy with lots of people.
You will have to wait and see what happens. There will be other signs if he likes you more than just friends. These things progress over time. I suggest keep being friends and friendly to him. And see what happens. If he doesn't ask you out or try to take things further, he probably isn't interested that way.

 the question is do you like him, if not it makes no difference if he is hooked on you or not,
If you're interested you will have to let him know as he might be trying to show you he is looking for a relationship more than just being friends

Could be the guy is obsessed w/himself. I'm not trying to generalize, but men who have sent a ton of selfies (w/out me asking), were very into themselves.

If he asks for a date, then go by that. People who like to send a lot a selfies are more or less attention-hounds; so you really need more signals to go by. If you're not too interested or just casually-acquainted; don't send him a selfie just yet.

 Not really.
I think he is trying to get you to send pictures. For now, they are innocuous selfies. That might change.
My 15-year-old has a group of friends and honestly? they constantly send each other selfies (mostly goofy but still) and they are a mix of guy and gals.
So I don't think sending selfies has a deeper meaning.
Why does he want a picture of you? Who knows to brag about my "pretty friend" to his mates? Or to see if you are willing.
Like Denizen said, he might be sending selfies to MANY people just for the attentions.
So, in short. No, it doesn't mean he is interested in more. If he was wouldn't he TALK to you? Ask you out? Try and get to know you? Sending a selfie is NOT a "how to get to know someone"...

 It's hard to know really whether he likes you more than a friend. He could be sending out his pic to a hundred people. Perhaps he wants someone - anyone - but why should it be you? What would make you his ideal partner, or him yours?
Do you know what YOU want, that is the important thing? Or are you just looking for someone to go out with - anyone reasonable?
