So here's the deal.

I live with my best friend and her boyfriend. We recently moved out of state together. We've made many friends and have a great circle of them. In the circle are only three singles... one of them being me. Another one of them is a guy who is best friends with my best friend's boyfriend.

As time has gone on, I've kind of developed feelings for him. He's a very kind and caring person; however, a momma's boy. (Thankfully she lives on the other side of the U.S.!) Lately I've noticed that he's kind of flirting with me. He also seems extra into whatever I'm saying. He, my best friend and her boyfriend and I hang out together quite often.

Last night he said there's a gal at his school who likes him but he's told her kindly that he's not interested, and that there's someone back in his home state whom he's going to meet up and with and see if there's a mutual interest there.

Sometimes I catch him looking at me like he's trying to figure me out or something. Do you know the look I mean?

Anyways, I guess what I'm wondering is, what do I do? Do I flirt more? I know to be myself, but I always come off as being a "great gal pal". How do I know if he's interested? Any tips would be much appreciated! :)

I'm going to half jokingly answer your question but you can take my answer seriously too.

Tell this man that you think his mother sounds like a fascinating person and you would like to hear more about her. If this man is as much of a momma's boy as you think, he may develop a fast crush on you.

That is hilarious!!! He's an only child as well so... yeah. Usually I'm turned off to that type but he's such a genuine and caring person. I may have to give that a whirl! :OP Haha thanks!

Why not ask him who this mystery woman is in his home state who he's interested in... see his reaction -it will tell you a great deal and you're not putting yourself on the line
