Does he like me as more than a friend?

I met a guy at college we're both returners to education so not teenagers. So I've known him for about 5 months now we started chatting more frequently because we get the same bus home and are in the same classes. Anyway over the last couple of months he seems quite flirty but I can't tell if he's just comfortable with me as a friend now or if its more. We message each other nearly everyday even on days we've been at college. We go walks around shops etc when we've got a long lunch break. He's asked me lots about past relationships, where it went wrong that kind of thing. And more recently he touches me playfully on shoulders or arms when he's been winding me up or joking around with me. He likes any picture I put up on Facebook and then probably the biggest thing is the fact that all my other friends at college think it's obvious that he likes me because of how he acts around me. But he's never asked me out just comments about going places on lunch breaks! Confused! Any ideas? Thx

The way you describe it, it does seem he likes you. However, he is the only person you can get a straight answer from. The question here is: do you like him? I'm guessing probably yes because your asking if he likes you. When a guy asks you about your past and asks questions (deeper questions) to know you, it is because he is interested. Now, I mean interested in some way. Not necessarily romantically at first because some times guys do things before they realize what they are actually doing, get me?

If things are starting to get confusing it is best for you to clear things up. Ask him what the deal is. If you think it is still to soon, then wait for a while and see how things turn out.

But trust me, from experience, you don't want to wait to long. I also became friends with this guy and we became real good friends but then I started to notice he paid way too much attention to me than any of his girl friends. So I fell for him. I confronted him about it after many months later. At first he said he didn't realize what he was doing so I told him that we should stop talking....but then he realized he did have feelings for me and didn't want to be away from me. We have been together ever since. He told me once that he became so close to me because he was interested in me but he didn't realize it until I made him see what he was doing.

I'm not saying it will also happen that way but you also do not want to hold back because of him. What if another person is interested in you and you are not seeing it because of him.What if all this time he just sees you as a friend and you have been ignoring other guys that are interested in you? What if he is interested in you and you have been in a way wasting time just being friends?

No one can tell you what is really there than the person you want to hear it from.
