It sucks but you can't really. You can always look for signs, but that doesn't always work. You can't be in someone elses head.

I don't know how to say...But just want to let u know that a real friend is the one who understand u...care for u and love u as yourself. Friend is not only just for hang out together and party together, that's all..NOOO...that’s wrong …babe!!! When u have any trouble or problem, the one u want to find and talk to or share with and she will always be there for u to help u out so that's your friend...

Yes, they may have feelings for you or they feel a bit awkward because they used to be rejected by you. Be sensitive and try to make them comfortable by being friendly and not raking up the past.

They're afraid that if the relationship doesn't work out too well, the friendship will break- and if you're an especially good friend, they wouldn't want to risk a beloved friendship for an unsuccessfull relationship and a bunch of uncomftorable   moments. \nOr, they might just simply view you only as a friend, and it might not have ever come into their mind to see you as someone more.

you cant, if they choose not to accept you the way you are then you have to accept that they are not really your friends. dont waste the time and energy on people who cant accept you for who you are. be true to yourself there are amny people out there who are open minded. you will make plenty of true friends.

I think she's either not interested (like she said) or she's disappointed with you, the best thing right now is not try to explain or seem too eager, let the friendship develop and she'll know what kind of person you are and may start to like you

I have the same problem but my friend is quite forward and she is rubbing off on me. If you know the person may be interested in you then make the move. No one likes rejection but you just have to be confident in YOURSELF, thats the first thing to work on.

Honesty is best.  Tell him that you are confused.  Ask what his intentions are for his keeping in touch.  Does he still have feelings for you?  Does he want to date you again?  Or is he keeping you close because he wants to be your friend?  Ask him straight up.  Then take it from there.

The first thing that I notice about people is : confidence.  Do they look you in the eye and seem interested in what you are saying?\nJust try to stay calm and talk about stuff that you are interested in.  Let the other person speak and listen attentively.\nMy friend has this SAME problem.  Don't be upset by being a little quirky - all my friends are strange and that's why I want to hang around with them!\nIf nothing seems to be working, maybe you could see a councilor.  Hope that you start to feel better soon.

I don't feel as if she is a friend to you.  But "you" know if she is or not because you are around her.  It is very ironic that everyone who you've seemed to have liked she likes to and has been physical with them in some way. I feel as if no "so called" friends should fall out over a guy.  Stick to having a "true friend" someone who doesn't like who you like knowing that you like them.  You aren't losing to your friend sweetheart because as long as you know that she is liking who you like try not to be around her because a true friend wouldn't keep on doing this to you.  This has happened to me but the situation was different.  Eventhough I don't know you I'd like to become your friend or get to know you because we have something in common even if I only give you my opinions or advice.  I wish you the best and if you don't continue to be friends with her don't let it be over the guys let it be because of how she is treating you.

Perhaps you attract people that are like me? I am childlike, when I like someone I either push them down or smack them..... That gets their loving attention, so take it as a compliment, you have friends, they just dont realize it

Did he tell u that r some1 else that he doesn't like u.if he told u and he knows how u feel & still doesn;t have the same feelings then just keep trying to stop liking u. there is some1 4 u, u just haven't found him yet.but if he did't tell u that he could be lying so u should tel him how u feel. if he is really a friend & he doesn'tlike u ur friendship is going 2 b o.k

Whatever u do, don't tell everyone who likes who. This will just make everything pretty confusing... \n\nIf he doesnt like u, he doesnt like u. But u can try to be friends and maybe he'll change his mind later on once he knows you better.

Your friends may be feeling exactly how you are! So instead of waiting for them to invite you to do stuff, invite them to the movies, mall, or to your house. \n\nAbout making new friends? Well, in general just be generous, sympathetic, friendly, and outgoing. Be willing to listen for sure! When you find someone you want to be friends with, just go up to them and say "Hi," or "Wasn't class ____ today???" Hopefully the conversation will be good, and with time you will have a new friend.\n\nGood luck!

Maybe they aren't your real friends.\n\nIf you like him, go for it. It doesn't matter what your friends think. It matters what you think.\n\nHope I helped!\n\n-Kimmy
