One of my friends (guy) keeps asking to hang out with me. Does he have a crush or am I over reacting?

He keeps asking to hang out and today he invited he to play basketball and he tried to teach me how to play (I'm not good at sports lol). I asked if anyone else was coming bc it was just me and him and he said that he only invited me. And he was asking about how my relationship was but when I said me and my boyfriend broke up he was asking if I was okay. Then while he was working out I was taking mirror selfies and he kept trying to be in them. At the end of the day when I was leaving he kinda yelled "hey where u going?" And when I said I was leaving and I turned to leave he kinda yelled "no hug? Come on!!" And he came up to me and hugged me. I don't know if he likes me but I don't wanna assume he does.

I suggest seeing what he wants as to hang out then go from there because we all overreact sometimes but he might have a crush on you. Always to remember to not only follow your heart but think about your decisions. Follow you instinct.

I think of him only as a friend (his name is gabe) but I'm afraid that he gets the wrong idea when I hang out with him and I don't want him to get the wrong idea. I have a crush on my bbf (boy best friend) and that's not him

[himiko089]

Ask him, and/or ask around see if you can find out anything before politely telling him to back off. Sorry that sounds rude.

[L101idk]

Its not too rude considering one girl fr said "eww!! who do u even think u are?" When one guy asked her out

[himiko089]

Oh wow

[L101idk]

Yeah... so I don't think that's too mean to say to him

[himiko089]

I just hope this was helpful.

[L101idk]

It actually was, thank u

[himiko089]

you're welcome

It's hard to tell as guy best friends react this way. Does he flirt with you? That could be a signal he likes you more than a friend.

[L101idk]

He does flirt sometimes but I always took is as a joke

[spartan55]

I thought you girls were really good at that hinting crap... 😂

[L101idk]

Wdym?😂

[spartan55]

What do you mean what do I mean?

[L101idk]

I mean "what do u mean u thought we were good at hinting crap?" What crap am I hinting? Bc idrk

[spartan55]

He LIKES YOU...🤦

[L101idk]

Oh thats... not cool

[spartan55]

How are so oblivious? Let me guess, you don't like him that way.

[L101idk]

Uh I don't know maybe bc we've been friends for 12 years and he's always acted like this and has dated other people. And ur right, I don't like him like that bc I have a crush on his best friend...

[spartan55]

Mmm, sounds like it has the potential to be messy.

[L101idk]

Oh yeah I know, which is why I ain't asking my crush out

[serious]

It seems he does like you.

[Nahid1707]

And why did you say?
Do you like him?😊

[rapfan107]

Maybe he wants to get to know you better

[L101idk]

We've been friends for about 12 years

[rapfan107]

It could be that he wants to be more than friends now

[L101idk]

I guess, but tbh I hope not

[rapfan107]

You don't want to mess up that friendship!!

[L101idk]

Yeah that's one reason and another is that I wanna be with one of his best friends

[rapfan107]

Ok and you don't want to give him hope

[L101idk]

He knows I like his friend

[rapfan107]

Oh yeah maybe he wants to make a move before him

[L101idk]

Oh maybe, I didn't think about that one

[rapfan107]

Yeah but if you don't want to mess up that friendship, you're gonna have to do what girls do best and Friendzone his ass gently

[L101idk]

Yeah ur right

[rapfan107]

Yeah just don't give him wings if you really don't like him like that

[L101idk]

I know

[rapfan107]

Just don't make the boy cry lol

[L101idk]

I won't lol

[rapfan107]

If he does just smack him around that way he has a solid reason to cry jk
