Does he like me even though he has a girlfriend?

[Megsie]

Ok so I go to this youth group and there's this boy. I know he's flirting with me because I can tell he's looking at me from the corner of my eye. This week at youth group I noticed it more than ever. He kept coming really close to me, sitting next to me, touching my shoulder and 'accidently' bumping into me. He kept trying to talk to me and ask me questions and at one point he said "I don't like you... I love you." Then he realised what he said and quickly said "I'm joking I have a girlfriend." I know he has a girlfriend because my mum and her mum are friends and also both of their facebook relationship statuses are taken. He always talks to me in person and acts really flirty and touchy but we rarely text or speak online. We always get eye contact with eachother too. The thing is I think he's really funny and I like him as a friend and if he wasn't going out with someone I'd consider him being my boyfriend, but I certainly don't want to split them up or cheat with him behind her back. Please tell me if you think he likes me and what I should do!? xxx

Probably wants you to suck his barrel.

I think he does but maybe just confront him about it, definitely don't cheat with him on his girlfriend because although it's wrong anyway, the girl always gets the blame x

Of course he likes you but don't let him get touchy with you. It will encourage him to go further and you said you don't want to break up his relationship. When he really starts doing that a lot, ask about his gf by her name. That should stop him.

But if he says he doesn't want to talk about her then watch out. He just wants you as a backup girl that he doesn't respect. Remember, if he really liked you a lot then he wouldn't still be with his gf. You always want to come first, not second.

I think you should continue to be friends with him but set boundaries. This can be hard to do if you like someone and they like you. Like if you feel he's being too flirty try just not flirting back or changing the subject once in a while. If this is difficult then maybe try seeing him less often. if he confronts you about it just be honest and say you feel like you're stepping on his girlfriends turf and felt you needed to back off. You could also try becoming his girlfriend's friend and then you could all hang out together. that would make boundaries easier because anything you wouldn't do in front of her you wouldn't do when she's not there.

Do you seriously want someone like that? He has a girlfriend but he's going after you? What makes you think he wouldn't do the same to you with another girl? You have a lot to learn.
