How to know that he likes you from his friend behaviour?

[Anonymous]

I’ve a crush on my guy friend and we are in a group of friends, however I’ve noticed couple of times that my other guy friend tease him about me.

one time we were walking ahead of them while talking and this other guy friend punched him from the back and laughed and then my crush said”you haven’t done that since a while”
another time we were sitting next to each other and he stared at him until he noticed him then looked at me and smile to him.

also he told me once on occasion where my crush wasn’t there”there’s someone keeps his eyes on you, do you know him?”I said no and he didn’t tell me and I don’t know if he was hinting to my crush. I also noticed that he doesn’t feel comfortable with me and avoids interacting with me when this friend who teases him is around.

is all these mean anything? I don’t want to be delusional

Okay, based on all that it definitely sounds like your crush likes you back. A few things that stand out:

- His friend punching him and laughing when you two were walking ahead - that's a classic guy way of teasing a friend about a girl they like.

- The staredown thing where his friend looked at him with a smile after looking at you - again, total friend maneuver to mess with him about you.

- Hinting that "someone keeps their eyes on you" - come on man, it's obvious he was talking about your crush. Friends don't drop hints like that unless they know the guy is into the girl.

- Him getting uncomfortable and avoiding you when that friend is around - dead giveaway he gets shy/nervous because he likes you and doesn't want to get teased.

No guy lets their friends tease them about a girl they don't actually have feelings for. The fact his boy is bugging him so much means he definitely knows your crush is into you.

I'd say make a move, luv! Find an opportunity to casually flirt with him when it's just you two. That'll really give his friend more ammo to mess with him after haha. Trust me, this guy likes you for sure based on all the signs. Go for it!

Thank you so much!
But how to make a move I’m too shy😭 &most of the time we be sitting with our friends, any ideas?

Ah man I know how you feel, making a move can be nerve-wracking! Here's some ideas that might help:

- When you're all hanging out as a group, try sitting next to your crush if you can. Casually brush arms or legs so there's slight touching. Gauge his reaction.

- Ask him for help or advice on something - even if it's not important. Gives you an excuse to talk one-on-one for a bit away from the others.

- Compliment him on something you notice, like a new shirt or haircut. Say it with a smile so he knows you mean it.

- Drop subtle hints that you think he's cute when you're chatting. Like "Ugh you're so lucky, I wish I had [feature] like you."

- Suggest hanging out just the two of you after work or school for food or something fun. Get some quality alone time.

- If you get a moment when no one's paying attention, gently touch his arm as you laugh at a joke. See if he blushes!

I'd say feel things out more over the next few times you're together. But don't be afraid to put yourself out there a little since it seems like he likes you too. You got this!

Thank you so much for your help! I appreciate it.

Ayy good luck luv! You got this, I'm sure he's totally into you too. Just be your cute self and give him those little "hints" - he won't be able to resist.

Make sure to give me all the deets after too! I wanna hear how he reacted when you had your covert flirty moments. I'm betting he'll be grinning like an idiot the whole time.

Don't stress yourself out too much either, keep it casual and fun. But go get your man! You deserve to snag a cute guy and it sounds like he's super into you already.

You're brave for making a move - that's hot. Don't be afraid to turn on the charm either, guys love that shy confidence. I just know once you two get together you'll be the cutest couple.

Alright girl, I believe in you! Go show him what he's been missin. You got this in the bag, just be your awesome self. You got this, now go get em!

I think it's possible that he likes you, but there's very little to go on so far
