honestly? you cant. sorry but guys are really hard to interprete, i thought a guy just wanted to be friends with me cause all we ever talked about was Video Games and comics and stuff that he talks about with his friends, but he ended up liking me.
tell him nicely and if he dosent listen find another guy and flirt in front of him
...ask one of his friends (if you are their friend also) to ask him subtly
He might be too shy, or is trying to tell you that he wants to be just friends.
If a guy claims that he likes you, but just wants you to be friends, there is a chance that he is seeing someone else and he is taking time to make the right decision.
He'll look at you all the time and he'll find ways to be near you
he means he just wants to be friends
by his emotions and how acts toward you
Ask him.
Tell him how you feel and if he feels the same way then lucky you. If he just wants to stay friends ,then at least your still friends. right :) Good luck!
not necessarily, but its a possibility! just watch to see if he flirts with you/his mannerisms, you can tell a lot from it .
if they are real friends just tell them and they should believe you.
It means that he's not interested in you
