What if a guy flirts with you more when his/your friends aren't around?

[SuckerPunch]

does that mean anything or pure coincidence?

He probably likes you

Coincidence

Maybe he's just a flirt when alone with girls

[wilk8940]

The only way most guys interact with girls that are even slightly attractive is flirting. Without even realizing it, guys will flirt with girls that they have known for years and are really good friends with because that's just how guys and girls interact. I would say not to read too much into it because you can get away with more flirtatious behavior when other people aren't around because no one will see it and comment on it or judge you for it. What you need to look for is the kind of flirting he does when his friends are around. Even if it's not as flirty directly, if a guy likes you, the way he flirts with you when other guys are around will be a little bit more dominating, kind of like marking his territory to let other guys know "I like this girl, back off a bit." It's not being possessive or overbearing its trying to eliminate competition. If you notice that around his friends or just other guys in particular, then you've got something.

Hope that helps,

What do you mean dominating their territory, in what ways would they show that?

[wilk8940]

If a guy is more forward or spends more time closer to you rather then just flirting. Basically it will look like he is either getting between you and guys around you, or trying to be the closest thing to you when he feels threatened by other guys.

I can see that and this guy does it subtly but I don't know if its wishful thinking. is it usually really obvious?

[Josky]

well most guys (especially if their kinda shy) don't like to talk to the girl that they like when she is surrounded by her friends. its a really weird irational thing, guys feel like their out numbered and with more eyes on them guys feel like self concious and freez up, if that makes any sense. when I'm talking/ flirting with the girl I like I get all awkward and nervous, and always end up doing the wrong things so when he's under more pressure in front of your friends he might be a lot more shy and not want to flirt.

If he doesn't flirt with you around his own friends he might just not want his friends to mess things up, cause much unlike girls, guys are assholes when it comes to helping with their friends love lifes they a lot of th time try and make a fool of their friend. So he might not want them to know that he's crushing on you.

[SuckerPunch]

Yeah this guys friend talks to me occasionally and he talks a lot of crap abut him, its weird

but he's really flirty to me when his friends or mine aren't around but then it's also somewhat awkward too, does that make any sense..

[enlightenment]

I choose choice d...he isn't into you, he just wants some ass and that is why he is nice when they aren't around.

NO guy wants to flirt with girls when ANYONE is around. Flirting is something they wanna do unnoticed from anyone else, if people see the guy flirting with you they'll start talking, and especially if his friends see it they won't get off his back about it. The last thing a guy wants is rumors everywhere about that he has a crush on you, it's embarrassing. Therefor guys always flirts when there's none else around.

[SuckerPunch]

What if they partly do when other people are around?

this guys voice just kinda gets more flirty when we're alone and he's more open about flirting or teasing

[giantmothlbr]

of course guys act different when there are friends around. there are certain aspects of every relationship that should remain private. the side of yourselves you show each other in private is different than the side of yourselves you share with your friends. it's part of what makes your relationship "yours". they way he interacts with you personally (one on one) is what makes it special and different and exciting.

Some guys don't like to show they like a girl in front of others,either being denied in front of everyone or saying something stupid in front of others. He likes you,he prob won't be like this if things got serious,you just might make him a little nervous. I remembered I really liked this girl,but if she was around others it was a quick hey or whatever but when she by herself we'd get in a good conversation

[thealpha]

then its easy for me to flirt &chances of girl realizing that... too are low so I try to make most of the chance...ha ha

[Nickishguy]

I always flirt with the girl I like when we get alone, its only natural

[Advantageous]

He is probably uncomfortable flirting while people are around. But, I know girls really like it when you do.

[jjf481993]

If he flirts with you when you're alone it probably means there's something going on.

[Anonymous]

He probably feels awkward hitting on a girl in front of his friends. It's easier to do it one on one
