I think it is. There’s so many nonverbal things we do subconsciously. Like they say when someone finds something or someone attractive, their pupils dilate. That’s something you can’t control either. Unless you’re in bad lighting then maybe not so much. They also say we raise our eyebrows when we are interested in something. Those are just some examples.

Sometimes words mean nothing or they can mean anything. If someone says they like you, how do you know if they are lying or not? Well you can tell by their body language if you pay attention.

So we've been good friends for a year. I've subconsciously always liked him, but realized it when we got back to college in August. I talked to one of our mutual friends, his "sister", who said that I should probably talk to him about it. So we talked. I got the cop out line, "I'm not looking into a relationship in any way with anyone." He got out of a multiyear, super crappy relationship in December, and I know it got to him though. The friend who told me to talk to him also said that he has severe relationship anxiety from it, and so it could easily be that he's genuinely not ready, and not me.

After talking to him, we've somehow gotten closer, and have done something together almost every day the last several weeks. We've done a lot... many coffee shops sessions, walks, meals, teasing, water gun incidents, cereal throwing, Church, Walmart runs, thrift stores, hiking, Estate Sale (where he deserves SO much credit by the way, because he drove me to get cash, then helped me go through dishes to figure out what my mom wanted for half an hour)... all kinds of stuff. His body language 100% says he's interested in me, his actions do, virtually everything...

But then there's his cop out instead of saying he's interested, the fact that sometimes instead of my name he'll call me pal, and occasionally friend, (he's also called me honey multiple times), and he completely rejected my movie invite (which is when I got called friend btw)

On top of all that, I'm pretty sure his brother likes me. Yep.

It's just super confusing. He hates talking about his feelings, but I can't figure them out unless he does. I really like him... I thought he might like me too, but if he did, wouldn't he have said? Is it as cut and dry as the "I'm not looking into a relationship" still means the basic "I don't like you" like it normally does? Does he not know himself? Is he just not in a good emotional place and I need to give him some time?

From my experience, men are better. I visit makeup studio like maybe once a year for special occasions.(wedding, school Awards Night, annual dinner) I have tried different makeup artists and I notice I like my look better when my makeup is done by a man.

My sister actively joins some beauty pageants (she's a freelance model) and she actually told me she doesn't prefer a lady to do her makeup. She had a talk with her makeup artist who is a man and he said that most of his customers feel the same way. His opinion is that, women generally feel threatened by other attractive women, so it subconsciously affect their skills at grooming them even though it is their job to make a woman look prettier with their makeup. What is your thought on this?
