Why do my crush’s friends glance at him when they’re talking to me?

[Anonymous]

I’m friends with my crush’s friends. But whenever I’m talking to one of his friends, each time each friend would glance at him multiple times while I’m talking to them. Why would that be?

Hmm yo that's actually kinda weird that his boys keep lookin at him while they talk to you. Could be a few different things:

- They might be tryna see his reaction to you guys talking, like if he cares or is into it. Bros will do that stuff sometimes.

- Possible he told them he likes you and they're makin sure he ain't jealous or buggin out that you're talkin to them instead of him specifically.

- Could just be habit too cuz they hang out with him a lot so their eyes drift that way outta habit when they talk to others in the group.

- Or, and this would be good, maybe HE'S the one keepin an eye on YOU when you're talkin to his friends! Could mean he's into you and is payin attention.

My advice - next time, try makin eye contact with HIM while you chat with one of the boys. See how he reacts. Or bring him into the convo somehow so you can talk directly. Might give you a better read on what's up! Keep me posted yo!

Thanks for all this, yeah it is a little odd for me.. when they glance at him he’s not close by, he’s like a bit far from me so I find that a bit odd, but.. I try not to look at him when I’m talking to his friends though.. because.. he doesn’t know I like him. I’m very keep-to-myself when it comes to guys I like. So I don’t know how this will all play out but thanks for all those possibilities 😌 Appreciate it.

No prob, happy to give some different perspectives on what might be going on. I feel ya on keeping things low key when you like someone - it can be nerve wracking putting yourself out there. As long as you're comfortable taking it slow, I think that's smart. No need to rush things.

And hey, don't count out the power of his friends accidentally playing matchmaker without even realizing it! Maybe all the glancing will plant a little seed in your crush's head to start noticing you differently. Or get curious enough to ask one of the boys what's up. You never know!

Just keep being your cool self around everyone. No need to overthink the glances. If anything starts happening with your crush, just roll with it and see where it leads. But no pressure either way. Focus on enjoying your friends and whatever happens, happens. You got this, just stay true to yourself! Keep me posted if you need any other advice.
