  1. Oh none taken... I know, I've seen articles that mention those same signs too. I think I've just come to the point to accept not to care about it anymore. If he can't make it clear that he likes me then I'm going to take it as a sign that he doesn't and move on!
  2. I've been talkin with my friends about this too and we've just given up and agreed that it's just confusing! See we hear "oh if he makes a lot of eye contact or focuses on you then that's a sign" but what if he's just a good listener paying attention to you while you're talking? And what of nice gestures like holding the door for you or watching out for you? Those could be signs of just a nice guy brought up right doing his thing. To top it off there's no telling whether he's doing all this just to boost his ego or b/c he's nice or attracted or etc etc! Then asking up front "do you like me?" is just too risky and could turn everything upside down if the other person doesn't feel the same. *sigh* there is no answer is there? ](*,)
  3. Wonderin, how is that a sign? B/c the guy that I like this time around puts his hand on his cheek a lot but I didn't really think it meant anything
  4. Can't tell if they're sincere or if they're just being nice...knowing whether a guy likes you or not is so hard!
  5. Well he is a confident out-going man so let's hope you're right in this case! I get less shy around him the more time we spend together so I am improving Again though, can't tell if he's just being a nice friend or there's something more.
  6. See that's a problem. That's how I got burned in the past. It would be so much easier if there could be a difference!
  7. That's encouraging! I don't know about the touchy moves though. Naturally I'm not a person who is touchy, not even with friends. It looks cold, but that's just how I am - I need to be very comfortable with the person before I can even think of hugging them. I'd love to try the suggestions but they're so bold for me! I think I do unknowingly send out signs to him. I smile lots, stand close to him, probably blush too...I think he knows I like him though, my pals say even though I'm shy and don't do much its clear when I like someone since I'm usually very talkative with anyone else. They say I act "cute". Do men find shy and cute attractive?
  8. That's what I want to know for the guys!
  9. Now that I read your post I think I'm a bit like that. I don't express my true feelings that easily either unless I trust people, and since I can't trust people until I meet them I'm usually not the one who initiates any conversation or communication for potential relationships. Then again I expect signs and initiation from guys, and I personally look for those qualities in a man. So maybe we're in a situation where the opposite is supposed to attract? You need a gal that won't let you run away!
  10. So you're one of the hard ones to read! Do you keep your body language as closed as normal on purpose or is that something you do without really thinking about it?
  11. Wow great story! I wish that could happen with me. I'd like to trust my instincts but it's just not easy. I know he probably won't freak out or anything but I'm afraid he'll give us distance for a while until the strange feelings pass. Don't want that to happen!
  12. Can't I like a nice man? In my situation, he falls into both categories, so it makes it tricky since they are great flirts like you said. You can't tell if they're being nice and just havin fun with flirting or showing you that they're interested! He looks me in the eyes all the time and has a softer look than usual. Then again he's so nice to everyone I can't tell if other things like holding the door open or helping me out are anything more!
  13. How can we tell if you like us?? People say to trust your gut. But if you have a friendship on the line, it's hard to do that. Are there any signs with body language or anything that can let us know? Pretty please?
  14. dunno, guess I'm scared to tell him. In a way i want his support there so I'm afraid that by telling him that it will make him back away completely. He's a great teacherand others have said the same its just that he has been extra supportive to me. ..How do I tell him?
  15. I just came out of a few weeks of being in the dumps and am trying to find the sources for my waves of depression and found this. I'm all for teacher's believing in their students and lending them support and motivation. But there is one teacher i have that believes in me a *little* too much. He has become like a mentor to me and has such hope for my future and sees me as someone able to achieve great things but its becoming overwhelming. Sometimes i catch myself feeling like I'm doing everything the best that I can just to live up to his expectations and prove him right, but this leads to panic attacks and stress since I'm a perfectionist and aim beyond my reach. I'm worried that my motivation to do things is becoming dependent on him being there and supporting me like this. Then when the time comes I'm not at this school anymore I'm going to lose my basis. So at what point does someone draw the line for motivation and support from teachers and what can I do about it/? It's too much of a good thing I suppose
