How can I tell if my guy friend likes me now?

[Anonymous]

I liked my guy friend a while back and he didn't reciprocate so I just learned to push my feelings away but I don't think I actually moved on. Recently he has been flirty towards me, more than he used to but the thing is, I don't know if he actually has changed his mind or not. I don't want to put myself out there a second time, only to have him reject me again. My friends that right now I am being super oblivious and he does like me but I'm still unsure. Recently I was asking him whether I should take their advice about him and he kept telling me I should be bold and take the leap, even though he doesn't know its him but he ended the conversation quite abruptly so I don't know he might be mad at me anymore?

On some level know that he knows it is him. People talk, even your best friends may share things with him or with friends of his. It's natural and happens so often.

If he didn't reciprocate then and now suggest that you should be bold and and take the leap (again cause he might know you like him), then I would say, don't and move on. I don't know how his relationship status was in between but if he was single all the time, then he is coming back at you, cause he is trying to convince himself you are the one so he doesn't end up becoming sad cause he is desperate. Maybe ask him some questions about relationship to figure out whether or not he want's one or whether he just want to smash it with someone and hence is flirting with you so casually.

Reasons for him abruptly ending conversation could be anything. Could also be that in his mind is playing games on him to and when you asked advice he thought it wasn't him and move abruptly on to save his nerves/emotions (given how much he has flirted with you).

he isn't mad, he is flirty because you are attractive
