Is it normal for a a guy to like you but never make a move?

my really good guy friend and i hang out and text all the time. he flirts with me and we get along great. he tells me how much he likes me all the time. one night we spent 4 hours in his car talking. in any other occasion, with any other guy, those 4 hours would have at least ended with a hook up, but he didn't make a move! is he scared or what? i'm sick of all this playing around. help!!

    Maybe he's really shy and is affraid of making a wrong move...

    Why don't you make the first move? Unless you think there's a possibility that he might be gay, go for it. There's nothing that says the guy has to be the aggressor in a relationship!

    perhaps he just doesn't have much experience and wants to make a move and just doesn't know how, i know that is the case with a lot of people i know

    If you girls would only communicate logically rather than sending a whole bunch of mixed signals we are supposed to read then it'd be easier to make a move without risking our reputation.

    Get a little physical. As a guy I can only be sure a girl really likes me when she starts putting her hands on me, making body contact, etc. You don't have to fondle him or touch him inappropriately lol nothing like that. Just playing with his hair, giving him warm hugs out of the blue, placing your hand on his shoulder and a light touch on his knee. These are clear signs to me and any guy will gladly welcome them.

    I can see what's going on with them... as a guy, I would say, what am I suppose to do, do all the work to make relationship work while unawarely that I screw thing up? I need to know if girl are serious about it, I want at least one clearly signal from her so I can go "Oh, you want to me to play some more? Okay, you're on!" I like it when they act assertive, otherwise I give up and go to find someone else who will to do so.

    Maybe he is just waiting for the right moment, maybe he is just being a gentleman and doesn't see that you deserve to hook up in a car

    You made it clear that he likes you, but like many other people here have said, it sounds like he just doesn't want to make the wrong move. If he won't take "hints", maybe the next time you get into a long conversation alone, if it feels right to, you should just "make a move".

    i'm in the same situation with my best mate. He is great and i have found out that the reason he hasn't made a move is because he didn't know if i was interested and didn't want to make a fool of himself so now i have started flirting with him and giving him signs that i am so hopfully things will start to move quicker!! flirt back!
