So he wrote a song for me...

[CleoP]

I met this guy in the beginning of the school year (September) and we became friends soon after. He said I'm his best friend and he is one of mine. We're just friends right now, but I'm not so sure that he wants to be just friends. We talk a lot (almost everyday, by text or Facebook if not in person). When we're alone, he comes very close to me and touches me (hands, arms, hair). He says that he cares for me very much, that I mean a lot to him, that he worries about me a lot. He also made me a bracelet and is now writing a song for me. I think it's very sweet of him, but I'm not sure what he wants, exactly.

I'm at a stand-still right now because while he gives me plenty of signs that he likes me, he rarely speaks to me until I talk to him first (he does stare and make eye contact with me though). When our eyes meet, I feel like he's baring straight into my soul and he can hear everything I am thinking. I can't tell if I'm different than his other friends that are girls. I feel like the "best friend" thing may be putting me in the "friend zone". I do like him more than a friend and I would tell him how I feel if I was more confident of his feelings.

Thank you for reading and please tell me what you think...

He likes you a lot and sounds like you too, " staring into your soul " schmexy

Come out and tell him, in my opinion its 99% obvious he likes you. I'm certain he likes you :-)

almost sure he likes you

Thanks guys. Do you think that calling me his best friend is saying that he only wants to be friends?

This is serious Deja Vu for me. I sound exactly like that guy except for the touching and 'soul staring' bits. Are you sure you're not talking about me? :P

I'm joking. I'll answer from my point of view with this girl that I like at school.
Yes I like her, a lot. I've written a song for her that I'm pondering about playing at the school talent show. I talk to her mostly online because I'm a shy guy (He's probably shy that he'll stuff up in real life), I even gave a $150 ticket to a thing she wanted to go to (I sound like the guy from the old spice ads :P )

He likes you for sure. If he feels the same way about you that I feel about the girl I like then there is NO DOUBT that he likes you.

As for the best friend thing, he's just saying that because he's shy to tell you that he really does like you. I do the same thing. It's sort of like a safe spot until he's ready to come out of the friends only closet.

Just make sure he doesn't just want sex. By the sounds of it he actully cares about you in a love sort of way but it always pays to make sure he doesn't want just sex.

no. he is probably too shy to tell you his real intentions so he says you are just his best friend. at least thats what i think

[CleoP]

Thanks guys!

I have a question: If I call him "dude" or say "hey guys" to a group of friends that includes him, will he get the idea that I only like him as a friend? Would you? I haven't said that kind of thing in a few months, but I caught myself saying it today. I used to speak like that, as I was kind of "one of the guys", in a way, last year. Thanks!

That's adorable that he's writing a song for you. I'm quite sure he wants to be more than "just friends." He's given you all the signs. The question is, do you want the same thing from him? If so then go for it. Get some private time at a movie or lunch or something and let him know that you really like him. You can then guage his reactions and confirm his feelings for you based on how he reacts.

Sometimes you just have to poke the situation with a stick a little. Good luck.:)

Don't "come right out" and say it. Make it obvious, but don't tell him

YO I LIKE YOU.

Naw, just hold his hand, ya know?

i wouldnt get you just want to be friends from that really. wouldnt it be wierd if you would go like "hey guys and 'name' "? it seems you like him too, or am i wrong? if you do have some feelings for him then try to make it kinda obvious without having to tell him directly like Eric said.

Thanks!

Hey Guys,
Sorry for bumping up my old thread like this, but I just wanted to say that I took all of your advice, and it turned out that he does like me. :)
We're taking it slow right now, but that's just our personalities.
So, thank you so much for your advice!

Have a great day!
