This guy likes to mess around with me and we talk during class but he only seems to talk to me when my friends aren't around I text him a lot and he gives good advice Does he like me?

Answer 1

Wow, this is an interesting question! I was in a similar situation way back in the ninth grade. I knew this very obnoxious guy who was the son of the only butcher we had in a sleepy little hamlet back in the late sixties, early 70's. I was a very sweet and innocent young lady, very vunerable and gullible. This guy too, wouldn't have anything to do with me in front of his friends, unless he wanted to humiliate me. The bottom line was twofold: One: yes he did like me, but he had very low confidence in himself and he felt awkward and like a jerk, and he took that out on me by making fun of me and disrespecting me. Two: his hormones were doing all the talking. I think its easy to confuse lust with love. When we are very young, we are very self conscious about who we are, and we don't want to expose ourselves to criticism by others. I feel that this guy and the guy that you like might share a similar trait. No one likes to be teased by their peers about liking someone, and this guys esteem might be so low, that he doesnt have enough respect for you to treat you the way you are supposed to be treated. Also it is quite possible that he is also shy, if he is texting you. It is easier to text to someone than it is to speak to someone. So yes, he may like you, but could be even hiding some family problems as well. The question is, do you really want someone to like you that doesnt want to acknowlege you in front of your peers? I think most lf the time many people waste time worrying about whether or not someone likes us. The real question you have to ask yourself is: Is there any real value in the fact that he MAY like you? Or do you want better for yourself? I would tell this guy if he doesnt want to hang out with me when my friends are around, that you really arent interested in being his friend. I am sorry if that hurts, but if you wait for him to change, he wount. Look for better elsewhere.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I don't really agree. I think he might like the other gilr but he def likes u. It's the same thing with my best friend. Everyone knows this guy likes her but she doesn't know.When we tell her she won't listen. I think he likes you especially if you friends say so. They wouldn't wanna lie and hurt you
