according to everyone "he really likes me" so why does he deny it?

[beebs]

so theres this boy i REALLY like. and i am so confused about weather he likes me?
were close friends me and him. really close. he flirts with me quite a lot, he holds my hand, and puts his arm around me, hugs me CONSTANTLY, picks me up and all that stuff. its always him who does it, i never hug him or start flirting with him.

he actually said to me "your eyes are beautiful"
and he said he was upset cos he thought he was just meeting up with me, and not my mate aswell.

i told his bestmate, whos also my mate, that i like him, and he told me that he liked me.

but today we were talking about it, i told him what his friend told me and he told me that he'd be told that i liked him.

he denied liking me, and i denied liking him.

so now im very confused.

PLEASE someone help me? what do i do?

[spires]

yall both like each other i think yall are scared to go out becase if yall do and if something happens yall wont be friends afterward i ve been there done that. and u should flirt back show him ur more interest in him

[BOSS]

He's just shy. Flirt back see what happens. Give him small hints that you like him. Like try to hold his hand give him small gestures and hints. See what happens. Never hurts to try.

Hes like me i think me and my ex did that we were inseparable but we both denied liking each other we wud be talking and kids wud be comig up going ryan and becky just go out already trust me he likes yu hes just afraid he will screw a friendship up/ just nervous asking the girl of his dreams out (potentially) i mean thst was me and those 8 months were the best of my life (she broke up wit me long story) i wud give up legit anything for the relive the worst day in those 8 months


I say flirt back majorly and maybe in 2-3 weeks max ask him out/ tell him/ talk about going out with him

[abdheuuuchjc]

He's just afraid of getting hurt.

There are different possible reasons why he denied liking you, be it other commitments or simply shy.
We can't rule out the possibility that someone may have caught his eye too.
As you have mentioned, he initiates most of the stuff you both did together, he may have been tired of trying and moved on.

There too is a possibility that he's trying to maintain a platonic friendship, as when relationships not work out, likely the both of you would not beable to maintain the current friendship status as well.

I would not advise on flirting back as well, but rather be genuine and sincere in feelings.
Talking to him about it helps, but it depends on his character as well. It varies from person to person and how would he accept certain levels of approach.

But always take the conversations with an open approach, do not think too much and let your imaginations take over you. Take it a step at a time.

Good luck

i think hes just shy...
i say tell his best mate to tell him you like him too, and to get some balls and ask you out...and see where it goes from there:cool:

Hes just shy

But if you had not denied liking him who knows what he would of said back.

Think about this

I guess:/ my brother said he'll talk to the guy for me but they dont really know eachother, so i would rather that didnt happen. I want to ask him out but i dont know how:/
