text: ok ... so i have a question ...? okk so plz help... i like my best guy friend. i thought he liked me. i told him i liked him. he said thats cool but he just likes me as a really good friend. so i accepted it, and we;re still great friends...but he's always really sweet, and funny, and he gives me hugs all the time and says im the coolest and the best, and every1 says he likes me and that we should go out. whenever sum1 says i like him, he just smiles and nudges me. and when sum1 says he likes me or that we should go out, he just smiles and say whatever. also, on this little quiz, a question was would u ever go out w/ me, he said maybe...that was b4 he knew i liked him...problem is, i know who he likes. one is his other best girl friend. but she doesnt like him. do u think he likes me and doesnt wanna admit it? or does he really just like me as a friend? if so, y does he put his arm around my shoulder all the time and stuff like that? plz tell me ur opinion. thnx alot. :) <3 oh, the racing hormones of youth!  ordinarily, i would say the guy is too immature for a relationship and not to waste any more time on him.  he sounds like a nice guy but it seems to me you are not who he really wants to be with.  if you really want to continue going after him, it sounds like you need to back off a bit.  are there other boys you are friendly with?  if so, try paying more attention to one of them, and less attention to the one you like.  probably a good idea if this boy sees you paying more attention to someone else also.  give it some time.  he may rethink his feelings for you.  and if you still don't get a reaction out of him, say, in about a week or so, then approach him and ask him why he hasn't been hanging paying attention to you much.  this is a bit manipulative, but if there is anything there at all, hopefully this may bring it out.  what you don't want to do is spend a long time waiting for something that isn't going to happen.
