Okay, so i have a guy friend, who wants to hang out and stuff, but i really think that he might just like me as a friend. but i also know that he's just not a romantic guy, and doesn't really show it much when he likes a girl. what can i do to know whether or not he likes me, and how can i make him like me?

If a guy hangs out around you, he probably likes you.  In almost every case, a guy wants to be more than friends... hes probably just to scared to say it to you because he thinks if he tells you how he feels that he will lose you as a friend too if you say no.  Did you ever just try asking him if he likes you?

You know that there is an unwritten rule between friends, if your friend likes someone and they like YOU, you need to stay away. Great friends are hard to come by but guys are a dime a dozen!! Besides you mentioned that he was short so obviously it's a problem with you and why would you risk a friendship for someone your not really attracted to anyway?

he might like you. But you should just be a friend, and sometime just casusally ask him if he is intrested in being more then just friends.

Why don't you make it easy on yourself instead of spending hours trying to figure it out.  Just ask him, if he does great, if he doesn't well then move on love there are plenty more where he came from.\n\nalso read on it may help\n\nHow to know when a guy likes you \n\nHere's how to know if some one likes you: 1. Keep an eye on how many times you catch her/him staring at you. 2. Take notice of whether s/he smiles at you a lot. 3. Look for whether s/he focuses on you in a crowd. 4. Observe if s/he has suddenly taken more interest in your friends. 5. Pay attention to any significan't changes in her/his behavior toward you recently. 6. Start showing her/him a bit more interest and see how they respond. 7. Have a friend talk to her/him or one of her/his friends about you. 8. Ask, '[name], are you interested in me?' Tips: Hopefully you will not have to use steps 7 or 8, but if you're having difficulty reading her/him, these steps are your last resort! Remember, this is not an exact science, and it may take a few mistakes to perfect your technique. \n\nThe easiest way to tell (for anyone) is to just take an innocent step into their personal space. If they aren't interested then they will step away. If they are interested then they will set closer boundries for you and will therefore not mind your closer-than-normal presense. \n\nOne of the signs that a boy likes you is when he always teases you or makes fun/jokes. \n\nHe seems to find reasons to be with or near you. He may come up with what you think are lame or legit reasons to speak to you, call you, ask something. Try watching if he looks into your eyes or at least eye contact when he talks to you. Does he find ways to be closer to your body, near you, sit close or on the same side of the room as you? Does he talk to you instead of at you? Does he want your opinion? Cares what you have to say? Does he seem to be around you often, when he can? Does his face lighten up or seem to go from stress to unstressed when you walk in or say hello? A guy may not be obvious about it either, especially if he's shy, or maybe a little unsure of himself, which doesn't mean he's a loser at all but probably warmer from with in or more depth to him, more sensitive. \n\nBoys might not tell you directly, but they may tell someone. Or perhaps when you are not around but your friend is there he will ask for you. \n\nYou will know if a guy likes you because he will not hesitate to make eye-contact; he will either stare if he thinks you won't notice or hold your gaze when you catch him in the act (if he has a lot of confidence). If a guy is interested, he will also go out of his way to be as near you as possible without being obvious. Of course, the rules don't apply to all men, but generally, if he likes you, you WILL know it, without a doubt. \n\nI'm a guy and I think it depends, and different guys are different. Eye contact and attention isn't always the best way to tell. If a guy is shy he may get intimidated by girls he likes and actually make less eye contact \n\nI'm a guy, and I find it real hard to let a girl know I like her. I try to be funny, I smile (because I can't help it), I try to be close to her, but I can't verbally let her, or anyone know. Many guys have the same problem. \n\nI'm a guy. If a guy is into you, he will ask you out, or he'll most definitely go out with you when you ask him first. There are no exceptions to that rule, unless he was with someone else at the time and wants to be true to them. So unfortunately, if a guy does not go out with you when you ask him out, he does not like you. \n\nHere are some of the signs: he acts distracted when he's around you and fumbles for things. From the corner of your eye you think he is looking at you but when you look up he turns away abruptly and you think you are imagining things. He tries to like all the things you do. Your instinct tells you that he fee

Only way to tell is how he treats you... \n\nIf you are in a group ask him which girl he likes in the group and how much.\n\nIf he is a good friend you should be able to ask him and not have any come back.\n\nIt work both ways if a man like you he ask you ques and will try not to let you know.\n\nIts part of the growing up game.

First you need to figure out whether or not he likes you before you find a strategy. Make friends with his friends, ask where he hangs out so you can get more time alone to get a better vibe, but don't turn into a stalker!If you do find out if he doesn't like you (im sure he does, but just in case) don't try to force anything and try being friends. If he really appreciates you as a friend, he'll come around to looking at you in a different 'more than friends' light. Good luck!

I guess guys like that usually go straight to the girl they like and ask her out. I can't think of him being friends with you and wanting more about it... but everything's possible! I know it's hard, but the only way to know is being honest with him and asking him what he feels... Sorry... that's it!

Sounds like he does! Listen if you really like him you need to let him know before he gets to the point that he feels that anything more would mess up the friendship. If he doesn't feel for you the way you hope Hell you still got one totally awesome friend!

Wait are you a guy? Not that it matters but you said "he" and your avatar is a "he" so...nvm.  Tell him you like him! You never know maybe he likes you too and then everything would work out. On the other hand if he doesn't...it would make him feel awkward around you so...cut that plan. Talk to him. Ask him if he'd like to mabe go out sometime and hang out, or drop hints. Always works for me! If this person will disrespect you from this, orcheat or be rude about your feelings you need to forget them. Tey obviously aren't worth the drama!

Well if the guy even likes you just a little then you should be proud cuz then that leaves you with some room to maybe get him to like you even more. as far as ur friends go well i dont kno wat to tell you ive been in the same situation before and decided not to trust anyone but to find out myself. good luck

Depends on the guy really... what if your friend is not his type??  Not to say there is anything wrong with your friend but if the guy is not in to her then he's not in to her.  \n\nThe more she gives up of herself to MAKE him like her will only be a lie because she's not being true to herself.  In time that will make her unhappy.

First of all, how old are you guys? If he is really your friend he wouldn't limit you to friends like that. (not being funny,but...) are you sure being your friend is all he wants?

It is very important for a girl to have a male friend who is just a friend. Girls are rarely good in friendship. They tell your secrets to everyone, they may forgive about friendship etc. That is why guy friends are so treasured. I had such a friend and although I understood 100% that he is interested in me more than a friend I made myself believe that we are just friends. He could even stay for a night in my house, sleep on a couch in my room etc. But then he had a promotion to a different country and proposed to me (and we didn't even kiss). Of course I denied ;(.

Don't make this more complex than it has to be. HE likes you. YOU like him. Tell him you want to move your friendship to the next level and start dating. This is a GREAT thing !!! I am happy for you two.

you really can't know for sure if he does like you as more than just a friend without asking him; unfortunately, if you ask him and he doesn't like you that way, it could be detramental to your friendship. I'd suggest just being friends and getting to know him better without bringing up the subject of if he likes you esp. since he already has a girlfriend. If it's ment to be more, it will come in time. Just be patient.

Once upon a time a girl that I hung out with told me she had a friend who saw me a lot and thought she might like me, and wanted to know what I liked in a girl to see if she might want to ask me out. I told her that I liked a girl who would talk to me, so that we could both get to know each other a little first before thinking about whether or not we should go out. \n\nSo my advice is to just talk to him and see how he responds to being around you. Since he's in most of your classes then you have plenty of opportunity and excuse to talk to him about things.\n\nEdit: Concerning your additional details.\n\nIf I had to make an educated guess from what you wrote I would say that he does like you and would like to spend some time with you outside of school. You paint him as being smart enough on his own, so he isn't trying to be near you so that he can use you to get good grades. And he is trying to point out things you have in common, like the answers, to show that you two are compatable.
