My guy friend of a couple years and I are really close and today he told me he sent my mum a merry Christmas message on Facebook. Now he's never done that before. He's never met her before. As far as I know he hasn't done it to our mutual friends mothers. (And no they are not having a thing. She's a happily married woman)

 

Plus today he's been emailing me while he's in his class and he's never done that since he started five weeks ago.

 

I must stress that he and I aren't dating but we have a close friendship, even an affectionate one.

 

We hug each other and he would kiss me on the forehead. When he is in a playful mood he would nudge me or play with my hair.

 

Does he have a thing for me?

Ive always found when guys find a way to "touch you" playfully then yes they usually do have a thing for you..

Seems like he is into you, but afraid of you rejecting him. Is he usually confident with the ladies? I bet not. I am guessing he is indirectly trying to find out how you feel about him.

I wouldn't say that every touchy guy is signifying interest. One of my best guy friends is just gregarious and friendly and likes to touch people. He's got a girlfriend and is very committed to her.

 

Maybe it means something, maybe it doesn't.

He's just started doing these things perhaps because he's becoming more and more comfortable with you and possibly developing romantic feelings now as well. You should just continue to observe his actions for a little while yet.

 

I wouldn't ask him about anything or behave any differently than you are now. If he continues to "up" things with you on various levels, you'll know better. If you like him and want that kind of relationship with him, don't do anything different yet. If he wants to hold hands or something like that, you respond. Let him make any first moves.

Thats good advice. I'm sitting back and observing him and let him make all the moves.

Do you like him? If so, consider flirting back a bit and projecting an air of reception while you observe him.

 

This is a sweet thread. I'm kinda rooting for you two. One of the sweetest romances of my life started much like this. :o:love:

How did it start with your romance? Did it happen with the same sort of things the guy I like are doing to me?

That's right. You reciprocate in kind for now. It's about balance. If things develop or he is upping things, you respond the same way. After a while, you can be first to give a kiss or hold hands, etc. But for now, sit back a little.

I think I'm more inclined to agree with redhead14. It could also be that he's behaving this way because the holidays are approaching. Many people find themselves longing to be coupled up if they're not already. Not that his feelings for you aren't genuine but perhaps they are spurred on more by the holidays than if it were any other time of the year.
