Guys, Why did my friend want my approval on his dating profile?

[Anonymous]

He showed me pictures, basically looking for approval of the pictures he takes. He also asked for ideas to put on the bio part several times through out the day. Of course I can't tell if he only did this because I also have an online dating profile, or if he thought he'd try it out. The point is he didn't want one until I mentioned I had one.

He also asked to look at mine so he saw my matches, bio and picutres like almost a week ago.

He wants to know an attractive female who isn't his mom approves of his looks. Maybe he's been attracted to you before. Maybe he feels your out of his league. Bottom line is that he wanted to make sure an attractive female could verify that he is at least a little bit attractive as well.

He knows he is my type lmao
So I mean, he knows his coworker thinks he's attractive

[pajamasam]

Knowing someone finds you attractive is just enough to put some juice back in your confidence.

Obviously this guys friend zoned so he’s trying to get a woman’s perspective to have a successful dating life online.

[Asker]

He doesn't realize he isn't friendzoned by me lol he hasn't seemed to want to hangout with me outside of work, so I assume he doesn't like me.

[VanillaSalt]

If he’s not showing any interest in you then he only wants your opinion. If you treat him like a friend and don’t seem interested in him then he could be interested in you.

[VanillaSalt]

Perhaps he’s done it to himself?

[Asker]

I think he friendzoned me. He knows I find guys like him attractive.

[VanillaSalt]

How does he know

[Asker]

Well, apparently a mutual friend told him about a year ago that I like him. He also knows I cannot resist blonde hair and blue eyes

[VanillaSalt]

There’s that phrase again. “He knows”.

It’s time for you to make s as move if you want him. If not then what does it matter why he showed you his dating profile?

[Mark83]

He wants a girl's opinion to increase his chances of success. It's the same thing as you asking this question here.

[Josh4206]

He wants the approval of a girl other than his mother that his profile was good.

[Asker]

See and while I was showing him some of the interesting profiles I've swiped right on, he asked to look at mine.
I dont know how looking at mine will help, but I let him. He also didn't seem to happy when he saw all the matches I had. :/ I don't know. I like him a lot, but he doesn't really speak to me unless we are working
