If a man opens up to you emotionally, does it mean that he likes you?

Question

There is this guy in my class, and he is a good friend of mine. He almost never smiles at anyone and if he does, his smile doesn't even look like a real one (xD his lips don't curl up much). A few weeks ago, he smiled at me widely while greeting me, that smile was much more beautiful than his "regular" smiles. I have noticed it many times, he seems to give those kind of smiles to me only. He tries to spend most of his time with me... He shares things with me, food, things going on in his life, etc. He doesn't have any friends except me, same is with me, I don't have any except him... So, is it possible that he likes me? Oh, and we're friends since a year. Thank you.

If he doesn't do this to anyone else AT ALL that means he likes you. You've got to dissuade him as fast as you can if you don't like him back, because you're already in a crappy situation and waiting's just gonna make it worse.
If he does this to literally any of his guy friends, he wants to be friends with you. Proceed with little fear.

... I went back and read the post again. You don't have any other friends besides him you say? Weird. He is definitely interpreting that as a sign you like him back. I think you could easily give him a chance.

Nah, you don't have other friends.
Just let the relationship evolve naturally and see what happens.
You might have to address it at some point, but it doesn't sound like you're anywhere near that stage yet.
When you are let him know that you're not ready for a romantic (and/or sexual) relationship with him yet.

Oh, and by the way, my answer to your additional information might be yes, but my answer to the headline would actually have been no, not necessarily...

no not necessarily. people ope up to people they feel safe around. often times the last person to open up to is the one you like b you are so self conscious around them and are secretive initially. depends how well you know each other.

anyhow, it means he trusts you. he may or may not, like you.

No. I had a fuckboy open up to me emotionally and I thought it meant something. He like, cried on my couch in my house. I thought we were bonding. It was all bullshit. He was trying to pretend he was sensitive so I would do it with him.

To me, it sounds like he likes you. He shares food with you. Trusts you. Do you like him?

I know my ex opens up to me even though it seems like we hate each other. I'm not sure how that'll be now since he has a new girlfriend.

He likes you as a person. This doesn't mean that he likes you romantically. That should be debated.

jason15300 · Answer

He may have some liking for you to the point he sort of trusts you as he shows it. It's your call how you want to take that, you can initiate further and build a friendship which may fruit into a relationship or you can build a stronger friendship and make it known you will be one of the best friends he can have

nobuddy123 · Answer

I don't think he likes ya in a way of romance per say just yet. After talking to someone for a year you learn to open up to someone and share more. Stick to whatever ya doing and grow closer to see what he truly thinks.

Kota-the-Unhearted · Answer

I used to be the same way I only had one friend and I also kept to myself with everything and I started to fall for her the only difference is he opening to you so he probably does like you at the very least he trusts you a lot

SnapTsch · Answer

it means that he feels close enough and trusts you enough to expose his vulnerable side to you he surely likes you

Deadwalker189 · Answer

Don't ignore him! That's one of the worst way to reject someone. It's possible that he likes you, but I think he just is very happy that he has someone close to him.

GetMeBleach · Answer

Whatever you do, don't ignore him. Friend zone him. Sounds like he doesn't trust many people. If you ignore him then you will ruin the trust and bond you have with him.

godfatherfan · Answer

Here is a wacky idea, talk to him and ask him instead of guessing...

This_is_my_username · Answer

Yes or no. It seems pretty vague right now. It could be that he likes your friendship and appreciates it so he's more comfortable around you.

Rangers · Answer

Ignoring people is the worst way to reject someone and is extremely selfish. Tell him you don't like him that way

deraz24 · Answer

I don't know I know that he trusts you I guess it could be a step closer to like

Danny_dan92 · Answer

Could mean that or he feels comfortable with you and trusts you

kxtxrxnx · Answer

I'd say that it's more of a trust, which also could mean he likes you, but there's a chance it could be in a friend way. I think you should talk to him about it, get things clear.

Justinaveragedude · Answer

he is letting you in. It means you are special and matter to him.
