Help, does this guy like me or not?

[Anonymous]

So this guy I've been friends w for a while broke up with his girlfriend like about 6 months ago. Anyway, since the start of lockdown we've been talking to eachother more and I started liking him, and I told him (he didn't say it back but he was really nice about it). We talk now and then but sometimes he'll go days without popping up to me and then randomly pop up again w a funny video of him and his friend or something. I've sent him some sexy pictures (but NOT nudes... I was in underwear) I probably shouldn't have but sometimes he would ask me for them and I'd sort of laugh it off like "you wish hahaha" aswell. Anyway, his friend told me he talked to him about me but wouldn't say what he said, and his friend pops up to me now sometimes (I dont know of that could mean something). Oh and he is usually the first person to view my story unless he is out or busy. But the thing that's confusing me is how he goes days without saying anything to me? Also, he meets his ex sometimes because they are still friends and that kind of worries me a bit? Someone please help I am so confused and scared that I'm going to end up looking like an idiot

He's just playing with you tbh, definitely having sex with his ex cos it's easy and not as messy. You have done a lot of things right in terms of following his lead and being patient. The you wish comment is a bit funny because guys take that literally like you are not interested. I think you are kinda screwed here a bit, I would say re-engage with some semi-sexy photos of yourself and maybe ask how he is. Gauge his replies. If he tries to lead again then go along with it and get him involved too. If he not making the final move to meetup then suggest it. If he say nothing then he is not interested and just having fun

I like this girl, i like her a lot. But I sometimes go days without messaging her just because I have so many things to say to her that I dont know where to start or how ti say it. I honestly start typing and i delete it because im afraid i might mess up. One word of advice, message him first, guys love that more than anything.

He doesn't seem to have much to say to me though, he usually just sends me videos with a bit of conversation here and there

I do pop up first sometimes but I dont want to look desperate if he doesn't like me back

Guys may make fun simps , but at the end of the day, most guys are simps. Keep messaging him, look desperate, and if he doesn't like you (which i really doubt by the way) move on.
