I like this guy he always teases me and makes fun of me since I am short. He calls me names and pokes me on my side which makes me jump or scream. he starts laughing after wards which makes me laugh. His friends always tell me that he likes me but his friends aren't very reliable. I poke him back and he laughs too if I don't get him back. Sometimes he makes funny faces at me I look at him his face is normal (So I think he tries to make me laugh) We make 5 seconds of eye contact and both burst out laughing. All my friends think I am flirting back even though I did like him I didn't even know being playful was a way of flirting. lol He doesn't treat anybody like how he treats me. Once he told me sneezing was an orgasm which was a little strange. I don't know where that came from. He always hits me on the top of my head so I smack him on his face lightly. I always ask him why he is mean to me all he says is because you're a squirrel (A nickname he and his guy friends though up a year ago) I push him when he is a his locker. How do I tell him I really like him without telling him bcuz if it turns out he doesn't like me I will be the butt of every joke. Once his friend told me he liked me when he was right there and he just ignored him.
So here are the questions:
Does he like me or is just being rude?
If he does like me how do I tell him I like him back?

He always says your mom jokes and he is always calling me names then he says he's sorry and then asks me for a pencil which makes me crack up. I feel really idiotic around him which makes it worse.

We have known each other for about 1 year, last year and this year. I know his sisters from gymnastics which is probably why he caught my attention.

Ok, well. I have an idea of what might be happening. He is probabaly uncomfortable around you, and since you two seem to have so much fun when he makes fun of you, he feels safe and secure when doing it. He may feel that that is the only way to get your attention and make you laugh. Are you recent friends or has he been this way for a long time ( by long I mean a few years)? Me and a friend of mine acted exactly like that. Poking each other in the sides and calling each other names. Eventually we just outgrew it. What I feel needs to happen between you is a serious talk to each other a few times so you are both comfortable with it. He needs to know that talking to you is just as fun and exciting as calling you names and making fun of you.
Well. Its impossible to actually know without directly asking him. So eventually you will have to bite the bullet so to say. If I was to guess, I would think he likes you. All the jokes and playing around are pretty good signs. The thing that really makes me think that is his friend telling you and him ignoring it. That sounds like many times when my friends did that to me, and I had no choice but to ignore them. So, I would say he is just playing around and having some fun probabaly because he likes you. Just be direct with him. Don't play games or anything like that because it seems like you already are. Any tricks or tests he will just see that your playing back. Same with any jokes. Don't joke about it. Talk to him about it directly, but casually. If he has any respect for you at all, you will not be the butt of every joke. Trust me, I know from experience that it would be better to just tell him now and not wait 3 years without knowing. like me.
Here's a line that I've always wanted to try out in your situation. Once he's making fun of you, pretend to get all offended and throw in a "It's a good thing you're cute," in a somewhat-sarcastic tone. Then just walk away and let him wonder what it meant. ;) Or you could say that, slap him on the face like you're used to doing, smile and just leave. That might drive him crazy if he really does like you; yet if his friends ARE joking, you can say yours was a joke as well.
