Is he interested...?
Find a Conversation

I'm not sure if this is the right place or not, so I apologise if it isn't.
I
have a male friend who is slightly hard to read when it comes to things like this, because he's a really friendly person. Anyway, I've recently discovered that I like him as more than a friend and I'd like to find out if he likes me that way too. Before I liked him in this way, I felt that he maybe had a crush on me, but I wasnt sure, and didnt think much of it. However, the past few times I've saw him when I've been out, he's been standing rather close to me when we've been talking, and he'd tell me he thinks a lot of me, how its great to see me, things like that. He'd also touch my arm or shoulder when we're talking, and he kisses me on the cheek and hand quite a bit during conversations, and gives me nice tight hugs. Eye contact can be pretty intense at times. At times I feel he wants to make a move, but I'm rubbish at this kind of stuff.
What do you all think? Just being friendly or should I try a bit of flirting and see what happens?

Flirting with him will give him the idea that you are interested (and you have to make it obvious), but if he doesn't make the move, then you need to move on.
One of the common mistakes that many women make is wondering about whether a certain guy is interested in them without doing anything about it. Too many women think it would be inappropriate to flirt or it will make them look desperate, when in fact the opposite is true. Many, many guys, who are interested, are not making a move because they are waiting to see those little, subtle yet clear signs from a woman that she would welcome a move. Those signs are essential, and you must use your nature in order to show your interest in those non-verbal ways. Then, you might just be surprised by his response. In any event, by flirting you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Go for it.
