What do you do when a boy you think you like tells you he likes you but you think he may be lying?

[Beach_Girl]

So... A boy in my class during us all watching Princess bride with the lights off turned around with some of his "popular" friends and kept asking me and my friends who my crush was. I told them who my friends crushes were or used to be crushes were, but my friends couldn't think of an answer. Finally the first boy said I'll tell you my crush if u tell me yours. I said plain and simple who his crush was or who everyone says that he likes and that everyone says she likes him to and he said WRONG. I said it again and he said WRONG. Then he said that he liked me and his friends said it was true and that he and the other girl said they didn't like eachother weeks ago. When my friends told them I might like him they said it checks out and that we like eachother. Some part of me wants to believe him, but some wicked part of me thinks this might all be a game and that if I say I like him I'll get made fun of. What do you guys think? Should I trust him? Tell him how I feel? Confront him? I'm really out of ideas because my harts torn in two now because I want to believe him but I dont want it to be just a sick game. He's popular, and I'm not. Well I talk to popular people and sometimes hang with them or do projects with them, so I'd say I'm medium. So what do you guys think?

He texted my friend that he doesn't actually like me :( However I just spranged my ankle pretty bad today and he looked like he cared. He also hit my foot with his sword and asked if it hurt so I dunno. He did give me a fanta after and said he was sorry... WHY ARE BOYS SO CONFUSING?

Talk to him privately. See if his saying he likes you sounds believable and honest with only the two of you around. If he sounds like he’s telling the truth, then tell him you like him too. But be careful. Sometimes guys will lie and tell you they like you just to get sexual with you and then dump you afterwards.

Okay I'm not old enough for that and don't want to think about that. However, the only reason I'd think he'd lie is because its a joke and he'll think its funny and laugh about it. Its nothing as serious as that... But thanks for the advice!

[WhitneySnow]

You’re welcome. I hope he really likes you.

[Beach_Girl]

Thanks me too

[WhitneySnow]

Good luck. Keep us posted if you’re still on here.

[Beach_Girl]

Okay I will, I'll update you guys after school. Fingers crossed he really likes me because I think I like him the way he says he likes me.

[WhitneySnow]

That is so awesome 🥰. Fingers crossed.

[WhitneySnow]

Update: I think he does like you, he’s just scared to admit it cause he thinks people will make fun of him if he does.

[Beach_Girl]

Really you do? Its been a crazy mess in my life with liking him and its so long I don't have time to tell you everything but I WILL tell you if anything more happens between us.

[WhitneySnow]

I followed you. Feel free to tell me in pm if you want.

That's more of a confidence thing with the girl. She likely has low self esteem. You just have to believe in yourself, that you're a catch and that any guy would be lucky to have you. I'm sure you are, too :)

[Beach_Girl]

Aww... Thanks so much TNTtitleBelt1!

[Beach_Girl]

I think your right, I never thought I was a catch and definetly have low self esteem so thanks for the advice, I'll try and remember it

Call him on it, or pay attentions to his actions.
