I have known this guy for a long time because they have been friends for a long time. I am sure he likes me back because he looks at me a lot and gets really nervous when I am around! I need to know how to get him to really like me without letting my brother find out! What should I do?

Your brother is going to find out anyway, its inevitable. If he's really your bro's best friends, you're brother WILL find out. You'll just have to figure that out on your own.

The problem I see here is that you, as well as me, are the kind of person who assumes too much and is always dreading to take risks because you wouldn't like other people (=not only guys) to dislike you or reject you.  If the game is ASSUMING then why don't you assume that he is as shy as you are and he just doesn't find the way to approach you.  Get rid of assumptions!  You won't go on him and tell him... 'Hey, I like you... no wait... I like you so much that I even think I love you..."  Nahhhhh!  If it is difficult for you to talk to guys they think of him as a girl (=don't laugh I mean it)  I also went to a gilrs school but it was for 3 years and besides I have a brother, anyway, IT DOES WORK!  Any time I wanted to tell something to a guy I thought 'ok he is the same of a girl because both are people'.\n\nThe obstacle here is the fact that you like him so pretend (=just pretend) that you don't like him and that you are going to go on ANYONE else... this way you won't be so nervous and it will be easier.\n\nOnce you talk then you can think on making your movements, you'll be more confident then... you might discover that he is shy too, or that he has the same feelings for you or that he just likes you as a friend (crossed fingers that not).  \n\nIn short,\n#1 Do not assume too much.\n#2 Take the risk.\n#3 Pretend that you don't like him and go on him.\n#4 Talk with him, know him, have fun.\n#5 What other people think is not yerr business.\n\n,-)

If you still like him, open up to him completely.  Tell him all that you feel about him, and it may take him some time to absorb all that, but he will find that under all that he was feeling during those past 7 months, he still likes you the way that you liked him.\n\nThe reason that he thought that you were a little scary is because he was intimidated by you.  If you told him how you truly felt and that it was okay for him to act completely like himself around you, then he would fine.  Tell him that the reason that you liked him is because he was awesome, and that he didn't really change, and since he didn't, you would always like him.  Good luck!

Get over your fear and ask him out or tell him or whatever you do yourself!  He'll like the straightforwardness.  Guys like a bold girl.  If he doesn't like you back, he's not worth any more worry.  Just tell him and take his answer for what it's worth and then move on if he doesn't like you.

First of all be true to yourself and always be yourself.  Make yourself approachable by smiling alot.  When u r talking to him and laughing together reach out tough him gently on the arm or shoulder or even leg.  Touch can be a powerful thing!  This will also give him a clue what u r feeling!  You can always kiddingly say " gosh I wish I could find a guy as great as you"  and see how he responds to that.  Talk to him about what interests him.  Guys love to think we r interested in them and their hobbies.  Invite him to a movie.  Say you really wanna see a certain movie-scary one preferrably- and your friends r busy and cant go and ask him if he would go with you cuz You hate going by yourself.  If its a scary movie then you can always PRETEND to be more scared than you really are and be sure to grab ahold of him and hang on out of love....oops I mean out of fear!  ha ha!  Or you can go the direct route and just tell him how u feel.  He may be feeling the same way but afraid to say anything for fear of rejection.  If you dont you will always wonder what might have been!!!!  Good luck to u!

I think this happened to me once lol. Just hang out with him, and act like you like him. For instance, if you're ever sitting beside eachother and you feel "tired" lean over and put your head on his shoulder... Stuff like that will show that you like him back, and I promise he'll be thinking about it... And probably act on it.

well u are right, they both are important. But think about it, if your brother dosent want u to like him, then clearly its for a good reason. maybe he sees another side of him that u dont see when they are together at practice. if he was a good guy i think he wouldnt mind you two being together. i suggest u talk to your brother and ask him why it is that he doesnt want u to be with him. If he gives a good reason then listen to him, if he says somethin dumb or he doesnt even know the reason why then just tell him how u feel about the guy and he should understand that he means alot to you. hopefully, he'll come around.

If you like him like a brother what does it matter?  maybe you just need to worry about school and spelling before worrying about this guy liking you.

FOR STARTERS, YOU NEVER TOLD US IF YOU LIKE HIM BACK OR NOT!\n\n-----\nI say that if you two are REALLY good friends then you should find a time (wait for a time) when you are both alone and both feeling very comfortable (not cuddling, but sitting on a curb outside or just chillin in the car, talking) and then tell him what you just told us (it seems very innocent to me),  .... tell him that you really like being his friend and for everything in the world you dont want to lose that friendship.  Then say "keeping in mind that i dont want to lose the frienship for anything,  lately we've been spending a lot of time together and we seem to be getting closer and you seem to be ready to come over to my place at any moment and you seem to always want to be around me, and i was just wondering .... what do you think about the idea of us being more than just friends?"  He might say "what do you think?"  Then smile and say "i asked you first."  smile.  ---but before he answers, tell him that no matter what he says, you'll still like him just as much.

I know just what you mean.  I really don't know how to explain any of this because when I was in school there was this girl that really did like me but she would never asked me how to say anything to me.  She was really shy but very pretty after several years I found out that she really did like me a lot.  I wish I would have knew this or she would have told me because I wouldn't love to go out with her.  Maybe the best thing that you can do is try to find out whether or not this guy is at all interested in her.  If he is maybe you should drop the few hints around and maybe he will get the idea that it is okay for him to ask her out.  Some guys are really intimidated when girls come on to them.  Try to find how he feels and try to get him to make the first move.  Good luck

Relax, this isn't all that difficult.  He is probably just as nervous as you and trying to figure out the same thing.  When you are hanging out with him next time just get closer to him.   Situate yourself at some point where your two hands will brush against each other and eventually lead that into holding hands.  This is a simple way of letting someone know your interested and yet gives them openings to back out gracefully without anyone getting embarrassed.

He is a guy, guys suck at picking up subtle signs. If you want to show him you like him you will have to do something that will communicate that on a level a guy can relate too. Ask him out to see a movie with you, then choose a romantic date movie, be flirty, not slutty and if he has any feelings for you and fails to demonstrate them after you do that move on sister, he is not ready yet.

Amers? that's awesome! that's what my favoritest sister calls me (being that my name is Amy).\n\nanyways, sorry. heh. this problem is frustrating, and, unfortunately, quite common. If you're like most of us, you're too shy to really tell him how you feel. Short of telling him, there's no 100% sure way of him getting the hint (unless of course you sent him a note, kissed him, etc. but I'm guessing those are already ruled out too..) I actually (shame on me) experimented with this one. It works with some guys, but others are totally oblivious. it did, however, seem to be that the nerdy ones are always easier.  Give him your full attention whenever your around him, look him in the eyes when you talk to him, and just kinda make it a point to make body contact. by this I mean like brush his arm when you walk past, just little things like that.

having been that dorky nervous guy in a previous life, i can tell you this, you will hurt him.  No matter what you do, but how badly is something you can control. here is my suggestion:  don't slam him, don't tell him how you feel straight out.  when he is around talk about other guys your interested in, maybe talk about how you like certain things about them that he doesn't do, such as when they flirt they aren't annoying.  and when you talk to him about your relationship make it very clear that he is "like a brother" to you and that he is just such a great FRIEND.  if things get really bad you could start saying things like Jokingly saying "you are a rad friend, which is good cause i think if we ever dated We'ld kill each other."  or other things that make it obvious that you have no intention of ever taking the relationship to a higher level.

I'm exactly like him.  Too shy to tell someone I like them.  My suggestion is to tell him you like him and ask if he feels the same, and wants to get to know each other.  I'd love it if a girl did that, would make life so much easier for me and other shy guys like me hehe.

Tell him! Guys can't read your mind. You've got to just lay it out on that table. "Hey, I like you. Do you want to hang out sometime? I could give you my phone number if you'd like."\n\nYou could even write him a note if you're too nervous to tell him. The worst he can do is say no, and if he doesn't realize how awesome you are, he's not worth being with anyways. Good luck, dear! :]

maybe he has never imagined being more than friends, i think it happened to me, this girl kept talking to me and i didn't even imagine her liking me, but i didnt notice until recently that she might like me because she kept showing signs of it. but i never even noticed.  Try a little harder. Try talking directly to him.  Get comfortable talking to each other and tell him how you feel.  If you are too shy write a letter and give it to him when hes alone or have a friend do it.
