GirlsLife.com - Is he flirty or just friendly?

Bill: Being friendly is showing politeness: “Hi, how are you?” Joking is trying to make someone laugh: “Hey, what’s with the hair?” And flirting is trying to get someone to notice you: “Hey, do you like this dress on me? Really? You’re just saying that....” Being friendly might result in a casual conversation. Flirting might result in a date. And joking might result in a conversation, date or breakup. Class dismissed.

Dave: The difference is... There isn’t one. That’s what makes flirting so wonderful. You never quite know where you stand. Life would be boring without that tinge of doubt—was that a sly wink or just fluttering to get a lash out of the eye? Besides, if doubts about flirting didn’t exist, neither would Guy Q&A columnists. As for Bill’s hair comment, that’s not friendly, joking or flirting. Take it from a guy with goofy hair—that’ll get you nowhere.

I'm in a pretty sticky situation with a guy I've liked on and off for almost three years now. He's just one of those guys where no matter how many times you get over him, there's something so attractive about him that you just can't absolutely forget him. I told him the second year I knew him that I liked him, but he wasn't interested and found himself a girlfriend a few days later. I got over it. They broke up pretty fast, and it's been two years since his last relationship. I've recently really liked him again, and he was even flirting back....until he asked me the other day if "I thought he was leading me on." The thing is, I didn't feel like he was because it seemed sincere. He said he didnt want to hurt me or to expect anything, but at the same time he didn't mind seeing, flirting, or talking to me. I'm so confused, because successful relationships rely on two-way streets. I really think fate wants me to keep going back to him, but idk why! PLEASE HELP!

Hey babe,

I know you don't want to hear this, but if he's said he's not interested, then he's really not feeling it. He wouldn't lie to you and tell you that if he liked you. I know those feelings that come back after a while like that, but they go away with time. You will find somebody you like even more, somebody who makes those other feelings just seem like a shadow. But, you have to be willing to let that happen and let this fade.

Sometimes things that weren't meant to be fall out of place for something new and better to fall in. Jordan S.

Ok, so there is this guy I really like and I think he really likes me too! Theres just a few small problems...1) he's three years older than me. 2)I only see him once a week. 3)We live 40mins away from eachother.
Should I keep my hopes up or just give up? I think he really likes me because he put his arm around me on a plane ride, and flirts with me everytime were together. I really like him, but how can I tell if he likes me the same way? HELP HELP HELP HELPE HELP HELP! WHAT DO I DO?

Hey! It sounds to me like you really like this guy congrats, it can be fun to have a crush. The best way to deal with this is to be his friend and see if something more happens naturally. I have seen so many girls get hurt and ruin friendships because they "had to know" if someone liked them, and they asked the guy about it and made the whole situation awkward. I even did that myself when I was younger. It's better to have a secret crush on your friend than to have a public crush on your ex-friend. good luck!
