It depends on who  1. someone I like -"I like you"  -" oh, really... (Blush) I like you too tbh" 2. A friend -"I like you" -"thank you"/ "Ok"/ "so"/"I like you too, that's why we are friends"/ 3. A non-friend / someone I don't like / dishonest person -"I like you" -"such a coincidence, I like me too"/"it's your problem"/ just ignoring them.. 4. A stranger -"I like you" -"that's nice but you should get to know me well first and we'll see, ok"

Do you feel those butterflies too when someone drops the L-bomb? Oh, the thrill! Here's my spicy trick: match their energy but keep it like a slow dance. A smile, a cheeky, "Oh, really? And what exactly do you like about me?" keeps the mystery alive and the conversation flowing. It’s like gently poking the fire without getting singed. And hey, who knows where that conversation might lead? 😉 If you're feeling bold or just want to dip your toes into these flirty waters, let's chat more about it!

I have a hard time with this because I rarely say that to anyone myself. I rather have someone determine that I like them by my actions (either platonic or romantic).

I’ve also had people say that being purposely vague or worse disingenuous. The worst is when there is a woman I am attracted to says that (first) when she really means “I only like you as a friend”.

I remember one girl I had a mad crush on in college who said she “liked me” all the time but in reality I was in the friendzone (and she knew damn well I was very attracted to her). She thought she was giving me a “consolation prize” by saying that but instead she was tortured me back then. We were really young but I’ve had older women occasionally do the same thing over the years (and they should know better).

If it's someone I find myself attracted to I'll probably respond by trying to converse with them, get their number or ask for a date.

If it's someone I'm not attracted to, I'll probably say something along the lines of "I appreciate that, but I'm not really looking to date right now."

If we're just talking about friends that are strictly friends and meant it in a friends way... "You're alright in my books too brother. I definitely vibe with ya."

I guess on multiple things, who is saying it to me, how they say it, and if I liked them back. But I'm guessing you mean "romantic" like.. Me in the past would just awkwardly react by saying "Aw yeah?" And smiling..

Me now, if I like them back, would say "I like YOU".. And then go from there.. LOL..

It depends on if I like them or not. I think I was a bit harsh one time when my friend that was a few years younger than me said he liked me. I laughed, thinking he was joking... now I realise how harsh that must really be.

DaBiggestBird · Answer

I think first I’d ask if it’s a prank or if someone dared them to say that

BraxtonsGf · Answer

I've never had someone say they've liked me but I would probably say "oh." I think it depends on the person. I wouldn't try to break there heart though. Gotta let them down easy

superchan2011 · Answer

it depends really. If i'm into them as well then I'll tell them I like them too and ask if they wanna go out. If I'm not then i'll tell them that i'm flattered but that I don't feel the same way about them.
