Is he secretly jealous?

[Anonymous]

So I know this guy and we've hung out a few time with friends, never alone. He's flirted with me a lot in my opinion and others have said so too. Things like touching my shoulder/arms, compliments, hugs, leaning/laying down on my legs, and just always sitting/standing close to me (as pointed out by others). But anyway, I was sitting next to him and texting a different guy, and I giggled at the text.. when I did this he looked over at me and asked "you alright?". But it was in a very serious tone and his face looked concerned. I was giggling, of course I'm alright lol (I wonder if he could tell I was talking to a guy? Can guys tell this by giggles?). Another thing was he asked me who my favorite spider man is, and I said Andrew. Before I had a chance to explain he mockingly goes "Why? Because he's cute?". Which is not the reason but that's for another time.

Sounds like he likes you. It doesn't seem like he is jealous, per se, but he may be trying to get a feel on whether or not you may be interested.

That makes sense, I think he's attracted to me at the very least and trying to hide it. Like once he was leaving in his car and I came outside, he stopped and got out to walk back up the driveway just to hug me lol and the other day he was leaving again and didn't hug me in front of people, but when we got outside he acted like he was just going to walk away but turned back around and hugged me anyway XD

So now the question is... are you interested in him? If not, I would make it clear to him you are not interested in a relationship with him.

I'm not interested in a relationship.. but I'd be interested in a friends with benefits situation

He likes you…lol 🤪

[Asker]

Ha.. I kinda think so too, but he's trying to hide it. But the body language is a dead give away

Now, do you like him is the real question. 👀

I like flirting with him and id give friends with benefits a try, but currently not trying to date anyone. The chemistry is there though
