He Hasn't Said It Yet So It Doesn't Count!!

ok i like this guy
and from what i hear from
everybody else, he likes me too
i go to all his basketball games
and guys come up to me that i have never ever
met in my life and are like...ooooohh! YOU'RE Nikki
and im like yeah...sorry but do i know you?
and they are like no, jordan just talks about
you all the time.
and i went to their snofest with him
and we hang out a lot and whatever
and he told my best friend that he likes me
but WTH it doesnt count unless he personally
says it to me because then i dont know for sure
but i dont want to be stupid and be like oh yeah,
you like me well im pretty much in love with you...

so i just want to know what some other people think

maybe he is just really shy?
i dont know. any repsonses greatly appreciated!
thank you

If he talks about you all the time and told your friend he likes you then it's probably true. You don't have to come out and say that you're in love with him (you shouldn't!), but you should probably tell him that you like him or at least try to make a date with him (maybe see a movie and then try to snuggle up to him).

It seems like he's just shy so you'll probably have to make the first big move, he probably thinks he's sending out all kinds of signals and is wondering why he hasn't gotten an answer yet.

alot of people find it hard to tell people how they feel its either because they are too embarrassed or scared of rejection. So wot u shud do is watch his body language and how he responds to u. Im sure this boy does like u if he tells all these people, unless its sum big wind up which i highly doubt. So i give him signals, and maybe pluck up the courage to kiss him. ask him if he wants to chill jus u and him, try and get into deep conversation, and wen the time is rite u will more than likely kiss. dnt tell him u like him until after the kiss then u kno he feels the same and wont feel rejected.

Hes shy darling be the change why dont you go up and talk to him...?

I think you should jus go up to him and start a conversation jus be like so i have been hearing a lot of things about you and jus ask him if its true or not and if its not jus be like i didnt think so you know how this school talks....stuff like that.

thank you all very much! i decided EFF IT, im just gonna go up and talk to him. (i myself am EXTREMELY shy) but i have to get over it eventually right?! haha why not start now?

and to Tony: dear god no i would never say omg i love you right now, waaaaaaaaaaay to clingy/stalkerish hahaha. thank you for the reply. it is nice to hear it from a guys point of view!

I'd wait for him. He's obviously telling everyone else is preparation for getting his nerves up to approach you. So I say just wait. If he likes you, soon enough he'll tell you. Just wait. That's my opinion.

I've already said this but I don't think you should wait. Just because he's told other people doesn't mean he's going to tell you, that might be the only way he's able to get his feelings out and maybe he believes it's enough for you to take the next step (by not telling him how you feel he could easily believe you don't feel the same and therefore not make the next move, which is telling YOU how he feels).

^That could be true, too. I guess I'm just one of those girls who believes that the guy should make the first move :)

Try and bring it up casually, if you want. Or just flat-out tell him. That's probably what he's hoping for; I would guess that he told your friends that he liked you in the hope that it would get back to you. You've got nothing to lose, right? Just say it.

sounds like he needs to grow up a little..

^

no no... I can personally relate to this one... He's actually scared out of his mind that you might not like him back. Either that, or he's scared to make the first move because he doesn't know how you'll react.
He's more than likely hoping that, by telling all these people he likes you, they can either give him advise, or that it will somehow manage to get back around to you (hense he told your best friend), and perhaps he's hoping that if you like him, you'll act on it so he doesn't have to.
Is that the right way to do it?... Hell no... can't let him get out of doing the hard part =p. But if YOU like him too, then you can't either darlin'. Gotta meet him half-way.
Next time you guys are doing something together and kinda have a minute of decent privacy bring it up that you head he likes you. From there, if he likes you as much as you hear he does, then nothing bad can happen =)... If he's shy (like I'm assuming he is), and he kinda gets quiet... Just tell him that it's ok, and that you like him too... look him dead in the eyes, and smile =)
