He's always finding ways to touch me..(sometimes nicely, sometimes not)?

[Anonymous]

My guy friend always finds ways to have physical contact with me. He likes to poke me, wrap his one arm around me, or use my shoulder as an armrest then poke my cheeks or chin. When we're dance partners for ballroom lessons, he likes to hold me close to him, and it seems like he doesn't want me to not be in his arms. These gestures are kind of sweet though. BUT...

Sometimes he initiates play fights with me, like trying to punch me/kick my butt. I'm just wondering if he's doing this as friends or if he has feelings for me, because I need to figure out what to do. Sometimes I wonder if he's just playing games with me to have fun..

Guys, especially! Please give me your advice! ;D Thanks!

He likes you!!

He thinks you're a friend and is really comfortable with you as a flirting practice buddy

Its practically impossible to have a female friend and not start to have some feelings strong or not so strong but there are almost always feeling. A guy in this situation if he likes you he is probably afraid you don't like him that way and guys don't set themselves up for failure like girls do. Guy are logic Girls are emotion. Guys don't take hurt as well as women do. So say he likes you a lot if he was to come out and say it well a lot of girls are always like I don't want to ruin what we have as a friendship. This is like kicking a guy in the nuts. No matter how confident he is normally when it comes to a situation like this its showing weakness and most guys won't cross that line till one night you are both drunk hanging out and end up making out ha. So my advice is if you like him tell him something like I had a dream about you the other night. Gauge how he reacts then you will know how much he likes you this is when you tell him your starting to have some stronger feelings and if he doesn't defuse them then they are just gonna get stronger. Oh if he get frustrated or weird when you talk about how hot other guys are well the you need to pounce.

Too vague. It depends on what his character is. If he is the energetic type, out there with most people, touchy with just about anyone, there is a good chance he's just toying with you. Put it this way - would you do those things to a guy if you weren't attracted to him? Probably not. So, I'll cast a vote saying he likes you. Good luck.
