Being friendly by letting him look at her sexually?

Oh. Maybe she doesn't see it. Lol

But maybe she does like the attention then
Asker

Really. Whenever I see them, he may as well be kissing her. That’s how close he gets. And he’s always looking at her longingly.
Asker

13 d
Lol.

Awww. When a guy gets close to a girl that means he likes her?
Asker

13 d
Yes lol. That’s what I was saying. It’s obvious. So why doesn’t she move away if she doesn’t like him back.

She likes the sexual tension/attention maybe
Asker

13 d
Lol. I would have thought sexual tension wouldn’t be liked if he doesn’t like him that way?
Opinion Owner

13 d
That's the only thing I can think of... I mean if she's using him for attention itd make sense... but maybe if she was uncomfortable and she didn't pull away is because she inexperienced

She doesn’t look uncomfortable.
Opinion Owner

She either likes him but playing It off... or she doesn't notice lol what else is he doing towards her... like touching is a big indicator on both sides
Asker

13 d
He touches her a lot yeah.
Opinion Owner

13 d
Well then she's comfortable
Asker

13 d
Why would she play it off? I asked if she likes him in front of them and she denied it. And lol - quite impressive to not notice closeness like that.
Opinion Owner

13 d
She doesn't want to admit it. she's lying
Asker

How do you know?
Opinion Owner

13 d
Cause it's the only explanation there is.
Asker

Or maybe she is oblivious to him lol. Her response was a “no” in a what are you talking about sort of way and he looked at him after saying that.
Opinion Owner

13 d
Possibly or she's playing it off. But let's say she is oblivious he should make it obvious to her by saying something
Asker

13 d
Like what? Maybe he doesn’t want to risk ruining the friendship.
Opinion Owner

13 d
But he's already showing he likes her through body language... if he didn't want to risk anything hed cut that out. Maybe telling her "I like you" for starters. And that's the reality of things and the consequences of falling in love with a friend they may or may not have those same feelings.
Asker

13 d
I don’t blame him. Id never risk it with a friend no matter how much I liked them.
Opinion Owner

13 d
That's kind of dumb... I mean... have you ever had feelings for someone and didn't say anything? You're only hurting yourself. It's best to tell them and then if they reject you you can move on. Let's be honest. Men are only "friends" with women because they are waiting for the right moment to slip in and to be with her. That's MY opinion
Asker

13 d
No. I have girls im genuinely friends with. and even if I fell for them, I wouldn’t make a move because it will ruin the friendship. They need to make a move for anything to happen.
