What does it mean if he says "I don't know" when asked if he likes me?

[Anonymous]

My friends have asked my crush if he likes me and every time he replies with "I don't know" does this mean anything?

He may not want to put it out there but he does. If a man didn't like a woman he would make it clear he doesn't like "nah we're cool tho" or something. Him saying I don't know means he doesn't want to tell them because your friends will report back to you and he will be embarrassed

Either he actually doesn't know if he likes you or not, he does like you but doesn't know what to do about it, or he doesn't trust your friends so he doesn't feel comfortable answering the question.

I think he likes you, but is too timid to admit it.

He's probably not into you, or he's got other girls in mind.

It means he was caught by surprise

[Asker]

[noohair]

he is smart to not say anything to your friends.

[In_Trance]

[Anonymous]

He's not that into you.

Probably too shy to answer honestly

It’s a bad sign
