If a guy doesn't initiate private conversation or hang out, does that mean he doesn't like girl?

Question

If guy you hang for several months always in group treats you differently - teases and flirts with you, give you the most attention and acts differently torwards you than other girls (being more shy, awkward and stuff) but never initiate private hang outs or text you in private box, does that mean that he doesn't like you more than a friend?

Yes

No

My question back to you would be... do you give him the same attention back with a bit of flirting so he knows you like him?

If not then he probably thinks you don't like him and therefor doesn't want to ruin anything by making a move!

How to be sure? When I try to "test" him or ask him he always dodges clear answer about does he care and if he likes me..

Maybe he just isn't sure about how you feel about him.
Are you initiating conversations with him? Did you make a move?

Maybe he thinks that you don't like him back and that you just want to see how he truly feels about you. That would explain why he doesn't answer. He doesn't want to lose you and/or doesn't want to make things awkward between you by giving you a clear answer.

We mostly 50-50 start conversation, maybe at first he did it more.. but we don't talk in private box or we hang alone. Last time we were hanging two of us came first and we were alone for 5 min.. it was quiet and awkward af 😂

I didn't make any real move cause i don't know how he trully feels about me. :/

Oh ok haha.

I don't think it's negative that it was "quiet and awkward".

He flirted with you, he teased you, and he acts differently with you than with other girls. He feels good when he is around you. He feels like he can be himself. And when he is with other girls, he feels more shy and more awkward because he doesn't feel a connection with them and he might not want to seem interested in them.

And well, when you two are alone, it may be "awkward" because he is still kinda shy and unsure about how you feel and so he just doesn't know what to say. But when you are surrounded by other people (like, your group of friends), he feels more confident because he isn't alone with you.

That's how I see it.

I myself feel more confident around my crush when there are other people in the room. He might feel the same as me.

He's really talkative and outgoing guy with everyone but me in group since we met. At first was really awkward between us - we both acted like idiots, but now is great except when we find each other alone.

Thanks a lot for opinion, it's really helpful :)

In general, if an extroverted person feels more shy towards someone, it usually means that he/she has feelings for that person. So yeah, based on what you're saying, I'm pretty sure he has a crush on you!

You're welcome! ;)

Not necessarily. Maybe he is unsure if you feel the same way and doesn't want to risk ruining the friendship by making you uncomfortable. Maybe throw out a casual invitation for just the two of you to go somewhere and see what he says.

Even if he initiates private conversations or hangouts it still doesn't mean that he likes you more than a friend.

Nope, he could be waiting for you to initiate with him. If you like him, why not ask him out?

Because I don't know if he likes me more than a friend and I don't want to make it awkward between us.
I don't know how to test him if he likes me more before I make a move..

And he might not be making a move because he doesn’t know if you like him as more than a friend. If he leaned in one day and kissed you it would make it awkward

No, In your example it sounds like he likes that girl more than the rest. As long as he doesn't seem disinterested or unfriendly, I wouldn't say that it means he doesn't like the girl. Not at all.
