Either he starts at me, or I do. He prys into my conversations, then asks his question. Well either way, he's a smart ass. We make smart ass remarks to each other all the time, especially through text messages. Well, I was venting about our co worker, who is constantly hugging me. He kept making jokes about going out with the guy. Even after I kept refusing to. And we picked on each other. Well, to clear free from the feelings, he made some disgusting remark and I replied: " Sometimes I ask myself why I ever liked you? haha" And his reply was, " Because I speak nothing but the truth, the whole truth." His answer was cocky so I changed the subject immediately, and acted as if nothing had happened on the next day. I saw him the next day at work. He did the usual of picking on me, but mentioned nothing. I know it's a clear sign of rejection, but is confessing to someone you like them via text better than in person?

 I wouldn't encourage any lady to come 'clean' with a guy in that way. I'm sure he can see the signs- a lot of guys can tell when something's up. You can drop some hints or go out of your way to do stuff for him like helping him shop or even cooking for him. If after all that he doesn't say anything concrete, then maybe you know he's not thinking in that direction. All the best

reader, anonymous, writes (28 April 2011): Sounds like you guys have fun bickering all the time. I wouldn't interpret that he rejected you though. He may have thought you meant "liked" as a friend, especially because you're used to teasing each other with 'smart alec' comments. He probably also thinks more about his own "smart"-ness and coming up with the next comment than trying to read into what you say back.So, if you really want to tell him you like him, do it in person. That way you'll be able to feel the mood between you and get immediate feedback. Text is too casual, and relying on words on a screen takes away from real communication.Good luck! :)
