How can i tell

So i have this guy friend who always tells me i'd look hot no matter what i wore and hes willing to talk to me when ever ad about what ever but i cant tell if he likes me and i dont know if i like him (i do b/c he's so nice and always says encouraging stuff to me)(but i dont know if i do more than a friend i dont think i do)but any way it may sound like he likes me but i really cant tell b/c hes really honest and i never seen him w/ any other girls(not even as friends) so idk if hes that honest w/ all girls or if he really likes me

so what can i do to find out how much he likes me w/o straight out asking him?
Thank u guys all so much but i still need help
for Sean Allen:i cant straight out ask him b/c )no i dont feel id b put on the line)i dont want to mess up our friendship by asking him if he wants to b together as more than friends b/c if he doesn't then he'll think i want more ( and idk if i do or not)

i can only talk to him through the phone ( not in person) im too busy for that
he invited me to a movie and i said i would go (b/c i wanted to c what he wanted and would act and all that) but i never could go b/c im super busy

i think ill ask him if he still wants to go to a movie
( shud I?)even if i can't for a while (2 c what he says)

whats beautiful vs hot (hot just the body attraction vs beautiful being everything ( personality 2)?)?/???

Why can't you just ask him straight out?

Exactly as Mandy said . If he says your hot instead of beautiful, that definitely tells you something . The guy I like right now, we act perfectly sweet with each other -- his friends & my friends & everyone else mistakes us for a couple . Difference here is that my guy knows I like him, but when he almost kissed me over like, ten times, my outlook on him just went haywire . Hang out with him . See how he acts with you . Some guys are bad with words or just don't know how to act . Or it's possible the guy is confused himself about hwo he feels about you . The whole hot thing just kind of throws it off 'tho ... But just give it time (:

He likes you, he just cant find the right words thats probably why he says your hot, he says that because he thinks of it as something obvious which you'd pick up on. Just hang out with him for a while and he'll tell you himself.

I say to just be patient. If he likes you and wants to be with you, then he'll find a way to let you know eventually. There's no need to ask him, or rush anything.

As for the whole "beautiful" vs "hot" thing. I don't get that. Just because a guy calls a girl "hot" doesn't mean he's being disrespectful- it's a compliment! Just say thank you, and don't assume he's trying to get in your pants.

Try and ask him if he likes you more than a friend. What his true feelings are for you....That you kind of feel that he likes you and if you don't like him or feel the same as he does talk to him about what you feel and if he is a true friend he will understand.

I think wasting your time is stupid. If you want an answer to a question, then ask the question. This whole "putting yourself on the line" means nothing to me. If the compliments are making you curious as to his intentions, then ask him about his intentions. If you just want to receive compliments, then just let it alone and receive them. If you want to try having a relationship with this guy, then try casually hanging out together, then proceed into a relationship if things work out. There is no reason why people need to have relationships stagnate just because they think sitting around is helpful. The only time you should be sitting around is when the status quo is what you want. Otherwise get up and get what it is that you're looking for.

I agree ^ if you're wondering...stop wandering.

The whole men should act first...-_-...If you're that afraid of "being on the line" which I take to be "vulnerable to rejection/play" you're not ready for relationships. If you want relationships to be ballanced and fair...the share of responsiblities should be too. Socially, men are expected to be more active but ladies shouldn't be sitting ducks waiting to be hunted down. Try a bit of hunting if you're that curious...if you won't act for it, your feelings for him are probably not worth a relationship...if so, why bother wondering?

He shouldn't make the first move because he's a male, he should make the first move if he is the interested one.

Is she not interested?
If not...end of story...
If so...why not act too?

I think you should try getting close to his best friends, but no too close b/cos he might think you like them instead of him, anyway you could try asking them instead of asking him straight out. Dont ask him straight away, dont dive him head first b/cos it might scare him off, just take your time and see what happens..

Just ask him. and just wait fr a guy who is yes onest but wont say ur hot but that u r beautiful cuz some guys just say that

Thank u guys all so much but i still need help
