I am really confused right now. I like this guy who I think he likes me. Once in a while, he would say he loves me and misses me on msn; but…I don’t know if he’s actually talking real or kidding (coz he usually gives me an impression that he is the joking type of person, so I’m not sure whether he is being serious), so I just take it as him joking. Then, he asked me to be his date for prom (and asked me to dance on that night too :D).

And usually at school, when I peek(=p) at him, I think I saw him looking at me too (but I’m not sure though). At every lunch period, he always spends some time over and talk and joke around with me. But the only thing is, he always ‘bullies’ and makes fun of me (I would say). He likes to take away my stuff so I cannot do my work; he likes to make fun of my height; he likes to say I will fail when I have a test (however, on msn, he usually wish me luck); and he likes to argue with me.

I am passive person; I really want to tell him that I like him, but I can’t say it. But the main question is, does he like me? And if he does, how can I make it more obvious that I like him (other than say it face to face) so he can do the action:D? Should I let my friends to help?

Thanks. This had stuck with me for a long time, like 7 months. Before, I remember that he only asked me once to be his partner for prom and didn’t mention anymore ever since. Thus, I thought he doesn’t like me. However, 2 days before prom, he ensured me that he’s going to prom with me. So…I am now confused.

Really thanks for lots and lots of advice:D:D:D:D

Guys (especially young guys) tease girls like he’s doing to you when they really like a girl because they don’t know how else to get their attention and interact. My guess is that he likes you and instead of coming straight out and telling him how you feel — start teasing him back instead.

The next time he teases you about failing a test — ask him if he’s looking for a job as your tutor?

When he teases you about your height say something like, well even Shaq (Shaquille O’Neal), who can have any tall model he wants, picked a petite girl because he knows that petite girls are the hottest! He’s 7′ 1″ and his wife is only 5’3″!

You get the idea….

I think you will know the answer on your own. Me myself could notice if certain people likes me or not. I could based it on the way he talks or simply mingle on me. I understand that you are scared to have a wrong conclusion or you might misunderstood his actions. I suggest you to do nothing and let him do the first move. So just relax and wait….

The answer is MOVE ON… and EXPLORE MORE…

Dont worry about this guy, whom U r not sure about, you may end up regreting.

What guys say and what they do are sometimes two entirely different things. The old adage, actions speak louder than words, works when you’re confused. So given that, I’d say your friend really does like you. Since he asked you on a date to prom, you can rest assured that he liked you enough to bring you to this big night.

When you catch a guy looking at you when he thinks you’re not going to catch him looking — that’s a sure sign he likes you. If he comes over to your lunch table while you’re eating, that’s because he wants to see you! And when he teases you by taking your things from you and makes fun of your height, he’s showing you he likes you the same way young boys will pull a girl’s pigtails or snap her bra strap for her attention. It’s not particularly mature, but it is a sure sign he likes you.

Rather than chide him for stealing your books or teasing you about your height, show him the kind of interaction you like, by giving him positive rewards when he does something nice. Sometimes guys, of every age, need to be shown what a woman likes whether it’s during flirtation, dating or other communications.

If you’re too shy to use words to tell him you like him back, that’s okay. In fact, I don’t think telling him you like him back is such a hot idea just yet. Instead, show him with your actions. Give him your best smile. Flirt with him. Tell him what you like, that he’s doing, for instance, say, “I love that you came by my lunch table to say hello today. It really made my heart skip a beat!” Believe me, those gifts will be as good as gold bars to him.

And remember, if he asks you out on a date, that’s a sure sign he likes you. If he doesn’t, that’s a sure sign he’s not that interested. You can apply that like a math equation to any relationship.

April Masini’s advice is on point, especially for your situation with a shy or playful crush. Here’s the breakdown:

Actions matter more than words. You’ve seen signs asking you to prom, spending time with you at lunch, teasing you which are classic “I like you” behaviors, especially among younger people. Guys often mask nervousness or attraction with teasing, joking, or playful bullying. It doesn’t mean he’s mean; it means he’s interested.

Positive reinforcement works. Instead of directly confessing your feelings right away, you can subtly show that you like his attention. Smiling when he comes by, lightly flirting, or appreciating small gestures tells him that you notice and enjoy his attention. This encourages him to keep interacting with you and gives him confidence.

Be careful about indirect methods. While letting friends help is possible, it’s usually better to show your interest yourself. Indirect methods can sometimes confuse the guy or make the situation feel dramatic, especially if he already likes you.

Timing is key. Masini is right if he asks you out on a date, that’s a clear signal he likes you. If he doesn’t, you know where you stand. Right now, he’s showing interest, and your role is to respond in a way that encourages it, not to force or rush a confession.

He probably does like you. You don’t need to explicitly say it yet. Use your body language, smiles, and small compliments to signal your interest. Let him take the next step (like asking you on a proper date) while you maintain playful engagement. This makes him feel confident and keeps things fun and natural.

If you want, I can give a list of subtle but effective ways to show him you like him without saying it outright, so you can really make your interest obvious in a way that he notices. Do you want me to do that?

It sounds like you’re in a confusing spot, but from what you’ve shared, it does seem like he might have feelings for you. The teasing, joking, and little acts like asking you to prom could be his way of expressing interest, even if it’s not in the most direct way. Some people, especially if they’re shy or unsure, use humor to cover up their feelings. The fact that he spends time with you, wishes you luck on tests, and wants to dance with you at prom are all positive signs.

If you want to make your feelings more obvious without saying it directly, try small gestures that show you’re interested. Compliment him, engage in light-hearted conversation, or find excuses to spend time with him outside of school. Sometimes your friends can help too, but try not to put too much pressure on the situation.

If you’re still unsure, it might be worth taking a small step and directly talking to him about how you feel. It could clear up the confusion and help both of you figure out where things stand.

he definitely sounds into you babe😏 the teasing, the “bullying” (in a playful way), the prom invite??? classic signs of someone trying to get your attention without making it super obvious. if you want him to notice your feelings without saying it outright, small flirty moves work wonders 😌✨ your friends can help… but only if they’re subtle!!

now it’s just a matter of letting him feel that you’re into him too without forcing it. trust me, he’ll pick up on it. rooting for u babes 💖

[Marcus king]

Aww, this sounds like that sweet but confusing kind of crush that keeps you up at night. From what you said, it really does sound like he likes you, the teasing, the attention, the prom invite, the little online “I miss you” moments that’s his way of showing interest, even if he hides it behind jokes. Some guys flirt by being playful because they’re shy or scared to show real feelings.

If you want to make your feelings clearer without saying it straight out, start giving him small hints back, smile when he jokes, compliment him sometimes, or find reasons to talk just the two of you. That’ll tell him you’re open without making things awkward.

And honestly? You don’t need friends to jump in yet. Just enjoy prom, laugh, and let the connection flow naturally. If he really likes you (and it sounds like he does), he’ll make a move once he feels a little signal from you.

[Flirt Coach]

Ah, young love that mix of butterflies, confusion, and second-guessing every smile. I remember those days, and honestly, they don’t get much easier even when you’re older. But from what you’ve said, it sure sounds like this guy’s got feelings for you. The teasing, the attention, the invitations that’s classic “I like you but don’t quite know how to say it” behavior. Guys, especially younger ones, sometimes hide their nerves behind jokes or playful teasing. It’s their way of staying close without feeling too exposed.

Now, that doesn’t mean every joke equals love but the fact that he talks to you online, wishes you luck, and made sure you’re going to prom with him… that’s not nothing. That’s a guy making sure you’re in his world.

Since you’re more on the shy side, you don’t have to come right out and say, “I like you.” Sometimes the small things say it for you smiling when he looks your way, holding his gaze a second longer, joking back with him, or thanking him when he does something kind. Just showing warmth and confidence around him can make it clear that you enjoy his company.

It’s sweet, but it can make things feel like a group project, and feelings are better handled between the two people in them.

So go to that prom, have fun, laugh, and just be yourself. If he likes you and it really sounds like he does and he’ll make his move when he feels the time’s right. And if he doesn’t, you’ll still walk away knowing you were honest and genuine, which matters a lot more than pretending not to care.

This one made me smile because it’s such a sweet, innocent kind of confusion. It sounds like he’s showing you affection in that playful, teasing way that some guys do when they’re too shy or nervous to be direct. The fact that he asked you to prom, jokes with you every day, and still makes sure to wish you luck on your tests says a lot more than he probably realizes. Sometimes that “bullying” type of teasing is really just his way of saying he likes being around you and wants your attention.

If you’re not ready to tell him how you feel, you can still give him little hints. Smile when he talks to you, compliment him on something, or lightly tease him back. Those small moments can say so much more than words. 💛 You don’t need your friends to tell him for you; you already have this natural connection that’s building on its own.

Do you think he’d step up and admit his feelings if he noticed you being a little more flirty and confident with him?

[Tara]

Stop waiting for certainty. Attraction isn’t a contract; it’s a risk. If you want him to move, give him a reason to.

You’re not confused, you’re just afraid to see what’s obvious. Yes, he likes you. The teasing, the attention, the mixed signals — it’s classic teenage flirting. Immature, messy, and frustrating, but still interest. He wouldn’t ask you to prom, talk to you every day, and joke about you constantly if he didn’t care. Guys that age don’t invest that much time in someone they don’t like.

Here’s your problem: you’re too passive. You keep waiting for him to make it so clear you can’t possibly misunderstand. That’s not how this works. He’s not going to hand you a neon sign saying “I like you.” He’s testing to see if you’ll flirt back or stay frozen. Right now, you’re giving him nothing — no signals, no encouragement — just silence and confusion.

So fix that. Next time he teases you, tease him back. When he jokes about your height, smirk and tell him it’s not your fault he’s into short girls. When he wishes you luck, tell him he’d better take you out if you pass. Give him something to respond to.

[Sally]

I can see why you’re confused, because his actions are kind of all over the place. It sounds like he does like you, but he’s showing it in that playful, teasing way that some guys do when they’re nervous or not sure how to express their feelings. The fact that he asked you to prom and still talks to you often says a lot.

You don’t have to confess your feelings right away. Try being a little warmer when you’re around him. Smile, laugh at his jokes, compliment him sometimes, or message him first. Those small things tell him you’re interested without saying it outright. If he likes you, he’ll pick up on it and probably make the next move.
