How can I tell if he likes me or if we're just friends?
I have a male friend who is really nice to me. Sometimes we tease each other, but I don't think of it as flirting. The other day someone told both of us that we would make a cute couple. I just kind of rolled my eyes because I didn't want to say anything mean to him. Instead of saying that he would never go out with me he said that he could never replace my crush. I think he's an okay guy and would give him a chance if I knew he had any kind of feelings for me because I don't have a boyfriend now. I'm way too shy to come right out and ask him if he's in love with me and I'm scared that if he doesn't I'll lose his friendship. I don't know any of his friend who could tell me how he feels. He's a great friend and it's not worth losing a friendship over a misunderstanding. Our prom is very soon so I'd like to know what to do.
Our prom's over and I never did ask him. Now I'm worried about bringing up a dead subject and seeming too despirate. Someone tried to fix us up last week. So is it too late? Should I just drop it and see what happens next? Also, if I do ask him, what do I say and how do I bring up the topic?
I've been thinking that we're only friends and that he just said that so he wouldn't hurt my feelings. When he said he couldn't replace my crush there was definately a sarcastic tone to it. I don't know what to do. Being fixed up is so frustration to me. I guess it takes two to tango so I don't have to worry beause he'll never ask me out.
We smile at each other in the hall and we are always teasing each other, but I think it's just friendliness. How can I be sure?

Try to get to know his friends and then ask one of them to ask him.

Well then the only thing i can tell u is that this has happened to me before and if i just asked him maybe I would've been going out with him. What i'm trying to say is it never hurts to ask no matter how shy u are. If he stops being ur friend for something as stupid as a question then he's not a friend. Try to overcome your shyness and ask him, and at the end of the question tell him that this hopefully will not ruin the friendship. If he is a good friend like u say he is then this won't bother him. I wish u well and good luck! I hope i helped.

If he's really that good of a friend u should be able to tell him anything. but u have to ask him to find out. but u should present it as just a thought or idea and see what he says make sure he knows that your friendship is important and u dont wanna lose it. U never know he could just be waiting for u and feeling the same way, or never thought about it and he might really be interested. if nothing else you could just remain friends. in any case just suck it up and talk to him about it.

Since he said "he could never replace my crush", he thinks that the guy you have a crush on is better than him. I think he likes you! You should ask him to the prom as friends and then at prom, maybe you can tell him that you like him!
Have fun at PROM!!!!

open up, if you waste a moment you could lose a lot. its better to let your feelings out because what's the worst he could say? no........ and if your friends you can be like ok, just making sure because when <insert name here> said we were a good couple, it made me feel weird so i just thought i would ask you.... if he said yes, and you felt the same way, you would be glad that you weren't wasting the opportuity because you guyz could end up great :)
so go for it.
hope i helped

you should leave your friendship alone if you don't want to risk it. as for the prom, i never heard that a guy couldn't bring you along as a good friend. unless you want something more?
