(When asking if he likes me back) Does not really mean absolutely not (and their just trying to be nice) or is there still a chance?

I had a crush on this guy and my friends asked if he liked me. He said not really. If he didn't like me wouldn't he just say no? Is there still a chance that he might like me? or does he mean striaght up no, but is trying to be nice?

That’s not a good sign at all when somebody says not really maybe you should look for another crush. Somebody you can actually talk to and date.

Anything other than a yes is a no. If you gave that response to a guy would he have a chance?

He did mean no, but said it nicely.

Now, this is an example of desperate.
