text: how do i know if a guy likes me? his name is charlie, does he like me? charlie always smiles at me, talks to me, and wants to be my partner at taekwondo. he even bought me a b-day present. yes he likes you. but it seems that what you really want to know is if he'sa interested in something more than like. now heres the genius part of my answer.   ask him!  do it in your way, but do it. what we want to know but do not have the courage to discover, can fester and destroy what we already have.
