If my crush’s friends push him into me, what does that mean?

[Anonymous]

My crush’s friends push him into me a lot and try to get him to come closer to me. About 6 months ago he found out that I liked him but his friends didn’t tease him about me or anything. For the past couple of weeks he has been staring at me a lot and his friends also stare at me a lot. I feel like he likes me but I’m too afraid to tell him that I still like him bc there is a chance that he may not like me. What do you think? Does he like me? Should I tell him that I like him?

This most likely means that his friends know he likes you, even if they don't know if you like him. Or that your crush told his friends that you like him and they are just teasing you and trying to annoy your crush. i can't really explain why his friends do this but it's a normal thing for teens to do. I know from experience (im a female) that even girl friends do it. but it's totally up to you if you want to tell him you still like him, but also be aware that if you tell him he will probably tell his friends and they might keep teasing you even if you don't know it.

Go ahead and tell him. Then you'll know where you stand with him.

But if he rejects me everyone will make fun of me

That's the chance you'll have to take. What if he doesn't reject you? Then what?
