Crush?

I kinda like this REALLY cute sweet guy....and Im scared Im annoying. I always invite him places since I have met him (I do it with most people actually, hanging out ya know?) But lately....things have gotten different....how are you supposed to know when a guy likes you?? I have like 10% experience dating a guy. Im 25 and feel unwanted most often.....


Need more details?

Well, I'm a guy so could offer my 2 cents. I am 42, married, and FAR removed from any dating, but I am a guy after all... If you are getting the feeling that things have gotten different, as you said, then I would guess he is having some feelings similar to yours. But with the info you gave I would say it's hard for me to say one way or another. Is this someone you were friends with before? Has he given any "hints" he's into you? Is talking to him straight up a possibility? I always prefer the direct approach. I'm happy to talk more if you like here or in a PM. Good luck, and I'm sorry you are feeling unwanted. Thanks for posting this.

You don't describe different, but my advice is you have to talk to him. Communication is important. Ask him how he feels. I know that's scary, but sometimes it is the only way.

Well I met him when he joined our bible study at church. hes only 2 yrs younger than me. hes really nice. he does a lot of out of church stuff with the other 2 people in our group and myself. weve gone fishing just the two of us more so lately. and he went to secret church with me (7 hoooours of bible study with david platt via simulcast.) he paid for my dinner when the 4 of us all went out for a birthday celebration....didnt see that coming. and recently he took me to his best friends house to eat with his friend and his friends family. while we were at his friends house, my friend was at a bluegrass jam where a man who knows my crush very well was playing. after the man had played she went and talked to him. the man said he knows my crush very well (has known him most of his life in fact) and knows when my crush likes someone.......

weird?

I'm serious, you need to ask him. I can tell you from first hand experience that sitting around on your hands doesn't do anything. Even if he does like you he may be too nervous to say anything. Once upon a time I really liked a guy and never said anything. I missed my oportunity. About a year after I lost contact with him, a mutual friend told me that yes, he did like me. But he was so shy he never spoke up, and I never spoke up. And I've never seen him again. That was 14 years ago!

It sounds like he likes you. Guys don't usually pay for people or bring them around friends unless they like them. But the only way to know 100% is to ask him.

I was wondering about the friend thing. It was totally weird...the friend's house we went to....his sister had just told my crush that since he started hanging out with me he doesnt answer his friends phone calls anymore.

Well, as a guy and speaking for myself, when it's between my friends and my girlfriend, my girlfriend can rest assured I'd pick hanging out with her over my friends. Historically, that's true of crushes as well (provided I could muster up the courage to do it...lol I was and still partially am I shy guy :P). He shouldn't be COMPLETELY ignoring his friends, and I doubt he is. He's probably "blowing them off" to an extent to hang out with you. Which I would think means he likes you.

Whatever the case, it is absolutely correct that doing nothing gains you nothing. Ask him! lol He sounds already like a textbook boyfriend already, based on how he behaves around you.
