so confused..guy advice please?

Ok, please do not say that it's obvious that this guy likes me because it's totally more complicated that that.

I have this guy friend who is like a really close brother to me and I have known him for nearly 7 or 8 years. I don't like him much anymore, though I used to like him alot until I got a bf, but everyone keeps saying that he likes me.

He constantly flirts with me, tickling, picking me up, (hugging?), things like that. He has also shown that he deeply cares for me, being there when I cry, stands up for me, skips class just to stay with me when I'm sad..he even backtalked a teacher once, and practically stuffinf food into my mouth and making me eat it (he had a hold on my bra when he did this) when he knew I hadn't eaten in three days. Things like that.

I am so confused..I know he cares for me so much yet I just don't know if he likes me. It's like he keeps hinting at it that he likes me and he kinda knows that I like him (tho not as much) and doesn't seem to have a problem with it. Sometimes it feels like he wants me all to himself when it comes to being there for me and helping me. It feels that way because he told me that he was jelous of my bf because my bf has something he doesn't, which is letting my bf help me more. He also said that he cares for me so much that if he cared for me any more then he would want to be more than really close friends, but like a spouse. almost everyone thinks that he likes me....but the thing is is that he does have a gf and we are 3 years apart. he is older. this is really confusing. do you think he likes me?

Seems to me like he likes you. When guys joke around lots and tease and whatnot, it usually means they do. But, if you have a boyfriend, and he has a girlfriend...the most you can really do is be a friend to him and be there for him as he is for you. Maybe talk to him about it?

actually you know what i think it is, hes jealous, you have a bf and he doesnt want to lose his place as the guy in your life, i went through a simmilar situation, and when something hapened with my bf and it ended. the extensive flirting stopped.
so i think he just wants you to know that hes not going anywhere, and for you to show that neither are you. nothing can come between you guys, and you shouldnt let it.

he may also feel a little posseive over you, hes known you longer then this guy and your bf wont understand him like you do.

its like a dog peeing on a hydrant. to mark his territory lol

but if he pees on you pull the plug lol

I'm 100% sure that he likes you. I'm not a great reader of guys, but this ones pretty obvious even to me.

lmao thats the cutest thing i've read all day =)

I think you're getting the wrong idea.

To be honest.

I have a friend at school who is a Senior. She has a boyfriend, but i act that way with her, and i have no feelings towards her, and she has no feelings towards me. We are best friends. I think he just cares about you enough to try and keep you happy. Just because he does those things doesn't mean he likes you, it just means he cares about you.

Alot.

Hope this helps.
