When a guy says he appreciates you?

[Anonymous]

What does a guy mean when he appreciates you? Is it a nice way of saying I only want to be friends? He says that I always have his back and am always supportive and that he appreciates me. Am I stuck in the friend zone?

Actually I think that he really likes you. You should ask him out on a "date". When I say date I mean just you two hang out alone and see how he takes it. If he can't stop smiling and keeps trying to be funny, and starts showing off than you'll know you're in.:)

Knowing myself, I'd venture a guess that he's really into you. I agree with overdewd; try a date and see how it goes.

Another word for saying I love you without L bombing it
