Is this normal guy friend behavior or something else?

17 Comments

He texts me in the morning to have a good day.

He texts me while I'm at work saying he hopes my work day is going well.

He compliments me strangely like "your earlobs are gorgeous" when i send a selfie

If I'm having a bad day he tells me to call him

When he's having a bad day he tells me

He takes my advice

He listens to me and remembers what I tell him

But he doesn't really flirt

He is shy

He doesn't text me back right away every time but half the time he responds in 10 mins to any text I send no matter the time of day

He's told our mutual friend that I'm amazing but didn't say he wants to date me

He has nervous laughter when we talk

Does this seem like normal guy friend behavior or might he have interest in me? This is the first guy friend I've had so I can't tell

    Oh, hell yeah, he's completely into you, but just doesn't know how to express it so he just says he's not. He's probably afraid he'll screw up the friendship or be rejected if he asks you out. Sounds like a decent dude.

    Guys treat their non-fuckable female friends like one of the guys. As in, they don't hold back and just naturally themselves with rude jokes and all.

    What your "friend" is doing is something most men do at least once in their life. He's using "friendship" as a steppingstone into a relationship. He likes you a lot, but fears getting rejected. So to increase his chances he's going to treat you like a girlfriend and be the kind of man he thinks you want.

    Think about your feelings first. Do you like him too? If so, ask him if he likes you and start dating. If you don't like him, let him know right away. The sooner the better, because guys have a habit of thinking that more work = greater reward.

    If he didn’t fancy you he wouldn’t point out those phenomenal earlobes of yours.

    Oh he's into you. You're sending him pictures of yourself? Seems like you're into him as well...

    May be weird, but have you thought about telling him how you feel?

    He sounds like a shy, nice guy. Could be boyfriend material. If you get flirty maybe you'll see how he responds. Or he might be too shy to respond right away.

    He sounds like a keeper. Why don't you ask him out to go bowling, or something?

      Bowling? I didn't know people still did that for dates in 2019.

        Plenty of people still go bowling. I'd certainly rather do actual activities on dates, than just go over to someone's house for a hookup the way a lot of selfish, and sex addicted people want to do these days.

          Did you just assume what I like to do for hook-ups? Usually, but not always, we go out for dinner first like people who aren't obsessed with sex. I have only had one encounter like the one you describe.

    Hes a guy right?
    Youre a girl, and hes talking to you?
    He wants to FUCK YOU.
    Hes polite, he likes you as a person.
    He might even respect you.
    But, he definetly wants to fuck you.
    Hes a guy. Its hard wired.

        Are you sure they're playing hard to get? Maybe they just think of you as unattractive...

        People are allowed to take things at their own pace without being called "bitches". If you aren't in it to fuck, then why are you so impatient?

    Have sex and see what happens. He seems to like you but be shy about it, which is very common.

    Perhaps you could lead him on for years on end and get him to do your work.
