The age-old question: is he just friendly or actually into me?

[Anonymous]

This guy is very cute and I'm afraid I might be imagining more than there is from his side. I'm pretty sure he finds me cute and all that, but does that mean he would try to start something?

Here are some things I've noticed in our interactions:

Slight blushing
Show-off-ish body language
Trying to be cool
Waves at me from afar
Intense staring
Playfulness
Empathy
Tries to do favours for me
Notices when I'm about to enter the building and hangs around at that time
Very nice
Ruffles his hair
Compliments me
Thoughtful looks
Soft voice when talking to me
Supports me
Kinda closed in on the personal distance a bit a few times

Does this look like a guy who wants to pursue the girl? If yes, I don't want to be oblivious to it, if no, I don't want to develop any kind of hope.

Yes he wants you. He wouldn't blush if he wasn't crushing on you.

Next time you talk to him. Do one of these things.

- Put a hand on his shoulder and let it linger there.
- Say that you dreamt of him last night.
- Get up close to him and compliment his appearance.
- Say "My hands are so cold today, touch them." Then reach out your hand and when he touches them you look him deep in the eyes and smile.
- Or when you talk alone with him, start taking about how cute you find it when guys blush. Keep a strong eye contact and smile at him to let him know that you are talking about him.

Most likely you'll get him to blush by doing one of these things if he's a blusher whos romantically interested in you.

Ps. If he blushes and it's only the two of you, tease him over it in a flirty way and show your interest in him. He'll blush more when he knows you like him too.

More likely it's that he likes you

Yeah I'm sure he likes me, but I meant to find out if it's in a romantic way...
