text: what are the nonverbal cues? that a guy likes you and thinks you mean more to him than just afriend?  i am in my 20's, he's a lot older, but we have known each other almost forever.  lately he's been dropping hints that he normally would not.  but he does not come right out and say what he's thinking.  advice? nonverbal cues are body language.  if you really want to startle him, the next time he starts acting coy, say, "oh, just come out and say it!!!"
