    Hey, I told a guy that I really liked him last week and he doesn't like me in the same way, but we're still friends and just as close. However, even though he knows I like him, he holds my hand and stuff, so I'm like AGH! What do you mean!? Any light on this would be greatly appreciated!

    or..could be just compassionate & feels hes hurt you & wants u to feel more loved & accepted

    byr i think most likely he likes u & is just shy..maybe hes never had a girlfreind & is afraidd to just jump intp something

    when u told him u liked him what did he say exactly?

    Yeah he's had a girlfriend before, she's a friend of mine but has already said to me she didn't mind - long story! He looked a ibt suprised as though he totally didn't expect it, then gave me a hug and said "poor, innocent Merry" so I hit him in a friendly way, but he gave me a hug in the way you might give your friend a hug if they had just been rejected if that makes sence? I should also probably add that he's a year and a half younger and at our age, some people thing that matters.

    hey pax,
    well my mums got the same problem she loves a guy called adrian but he only wants to be freinds even though they get up to stuff and everything (not a very nice thought) but the point is is that hes had rerlationships before but.... they have never worked out so he doesnt want to like someone in that way again incase they just drop him like his other girlfreinds have. so maybe he does like you but doesnt want to admit it.
    oh and by the way nice pic RUE BRITTANIA!!!! lol sorry so yer maybe he does like you please reflect on this or update me because i only scimread this thread. kkk thanks

    or maybe he really meant what he said, and is just playing you in case nothing better (in his opinion) comes along.

    I don't know he's 15, so it's not like he's had the time to have gone through loads of relationships and think "hang about, I don't want to be doing this dating lark" well he might have, but I think it's unlikely. And mamaboogie, I didn't understand that, sorry I'm not very clever!

    sometimes the best relationships start off as freindships

    sounds like ya already got the freindship and he just is hesitent to take it to the next level cause he doesnt want to risk losing the freindship

    be freinds and see what happens..he knows u like him..if theresa spark there in time it will become a fire
    let it smoulder awhile
    if u fan the flames too much ya might put out the spark..

    that maybe makes no sence i need coffeee

    It did make sence *well done!* *hands coffee*
    Thanks, I guess I just don't want to blow it, someone suggested I ask him cos of how he's acting, but I don't want him to hate me, but I don't like waiting, cos I really like him, but then I suppose if it's meant to be, it'll be!

    First of all, talking so someone is never a mistake if the person knows it's from concern and caring. I'm not saying you need to stampede him into declaring his undying love or anything... but just learning to talk to him about any feelings is a good start.

    I think you need to tell him that becase you like him, you dont feel its appropriate for him to be affectionate with you becuase it makes you ffeel something he doesnt feel.

    He's being a little inconsiderate

    Maybe, that's what one of my friends said, but then I was talking to someone else and she said "he was being him" to her, cos basically, he hugs everyone and strokes them - random I know, but he's great! So he's so hard to figure out!

    Well if you are alright with that then no problem. If you have a problem with being randomly stroked then just tell him.

    That seems like crucial info.

    If he's like this with everyone, then there is no implication of him having any special feelings toward you. If he holds hands with everyone, why would you think that was a sign of something special with you (but not with everyone else he holds hands with/hugs/etc.)?

    Either realize that you're stuck being just friends (and a good friend that he was honest with you) or pull back from your friendship with him (if you can't help but read signals that aren't there into his physical affection).

    Yeah, that wa I thinking all along, but it's like, would you hold hands with someone who told you they liked you? And it's not like he holds everyone's hand, but he does hug everyone and last time we went camping we were told to "get a tent" cos we were sharing a chair and we were hugging all night (It was freezing!). But yeah, maybe I should stop reading into things that might not be there...*sigh* lol
