He seems to like me but he has a girlfriend?

[iadorepie]

So there's this guy I've been crushing on. Sometimes he really seems to be flirting like he might like me back, except he has a girlfriend. So, I'm not sure. He always seems to look for an excuse to touch me in some way (for example he asks for hugs occasionally, and he knows I'm super ticklish so he often will lightly poke me in the side or something). And when I said I had never gotten to go to a school dance before he offered to take me to prom if his girlfriend wasn't able to go (even offering to pay for my ticket). In addition he often buys me candy or other snacks, and invites me to go places with him. But like I said, he has a girlfriend. Could he be flirting or am I just interpreting this all wrong? Thanks!

He could very well like you. There no way to tell without asking him. Do you like him that way?

I really like him, but I don't know if I wanna risk telling him/asking if he likes me since he has a girlfriend and might not like me

Yeah that is the most difficult part. If you feel it may ruin your friendship, it may well be safer not to ask. If it carries on, however, you may have to say to him

He may be in the battle where he's worried about potentially losing you and his girlfriend.

If you wait for him to break it off with his gf, it may seem like he's more into you.

You could also approach him and potentially speed everything up.

Try talking to him about his relationship with her and getting some more insight. I'm assuming you guys are decent enough friends that this wouldn't be too weird.

I'd say he likes you. Does he treat other girls like that or just you? If he acts like that to all girls, he could just be a naturally flirty person. I would be super careful though, if the girlfriend finds out he was flirting with you that could be the end of their relationship. I would hate to be the reason a relationship ends. I would just play it cool. Keep being his friend and maybe something good will come out of it in the future. :)

It might not be too weird but I've got really bad social anxiety, and the thought of saying anything that might possibly let him know I like him or change his perception of me freaks me out :S

I've had a friend say she thinks he's just naturally flirty, but I don't think he acts flirty towards other in the extent he does me. I've never seen him act like it around other girls and the friend seem surprised when I told her about the prom thing so I'd assume that's not something he normally does.

Seems he's interested in you. But the fact that he has a girlfriend makes that case look a bit odd or such. On the other hand that mustn't necessarily mean anything. I think you need to clarify how he sees the relationship with you .. or if he even sees there any kind of relationship.

If he has a girlfriend and he is flirting with you, cheaters always gonna cheat. If he gets with you he'll be flirting behind your back, just like he is doing to his current girlfriend. Which admittedly would be karma. That's if he is flirting! As you say, your friend seems to think he just is being friendly. Either back off or bring it up.

Well that's a good sign. Make sure you're careful though. I assume the girlfriend knows about the prom idea. I don't think the dude would go behind her back and take someone else without her knowing

[Desynchronized]

Wtf he's cheating with his gf. Imo you should just go ask him wats up. Tell him to either break up with his current gf or stop flirting with you(better for both). Also the fact clarawho pointed out, if he's cheating with his gf he might very well be also cheating with you. Maybe he's flirting with bunch of other girls at the same time.

I'd play this one real careful- I'd say he like you from what he's saying to you and so he's basically a cheat.... steer clear!

In Cape Town , a guy who does that is considered a fuck boy , and from what I've read , it's no good . Basically , this can be interpreted in two ways , he is just really friendly , or he is looking for a side piece . I always say one should ask the person for the truth and I think you have to do it in this situation , find out his intentions , and tell him that he isn't allowed to touch you if you're not more than friends if it makes you uncomfortable .

He could be one of those guys who are just friendly and kind towards girls regardless of romantic interest. From what I see, I think the guy likes you and wants the best for you, but I don't see any clear romantic drive behind it. However if this makes you uncomfortable then I suggest just going up to the guy and asking about it. If you ask in a polite and calm manner then I don't see it ruining your friendship.

[JakeyZ]

Stay away from anything romantic with him. If he has a girlfriend and you're both caught being romantically involved with eachother, you'll both get a bad reputation

[INACTIVEchaosphere]

It's impossible to know if he feels that way about you, and only you, without knowing how his relationship is going with his girlfriend. He could be feeling infatuation, genuine attraction, or he could want to cheat with you. Either way, it's not your place to interfere in their relationship. Wait till he makes a move, either to break up with his girlfriend, or to make an advance on you. If he attempts to court you without breaking up first, it won't end well. Either you'll get found out, or he'll cheat on you too. It's up to him to choose between two girls. If he breaks up, then you can safely make a move, even if he doesn't immediately ask you out.

I'd wait a little while and take it easy...
