QuestionI like this guy, but I don't really know if he feels the same way. When we hang out and talk, he's chatted about relationships once or twice. What does he mean by that? Also, why hasn't he asked me out yet?wikiHowOur goal at wikiHow is to deliver trustworthy articles that engage our readers and meet their informational and emotional needs.

The most trusted how-to site on the internet.It's tough to really know exactly what's on anyone's mind if they don't share their feelings! It's totally understandable why you're a little confused. However, it's a safe bet that he's extra comfortable around you and may even have a crush. If he's bringing up relationships but he isn't asking about how you can set him up with someone else, he may be testing the waters. For example, if he says that honesty is important for him in a relationship, he may be hinting at what he's looking for if you two were to date. Right now, he might be too nervous to directly ask you out. To start off small, plan a low-key hangout, like a trip to the movies. Later, tell him you feel super close to him. That may give him the extra push he needs to confess he wants to start dating you. -

Tips from our Readers
- If you sit next to or above him in class or while working on a project, try to casually touch his foot with your foot or touch his hand with your hand. If he don't move his hand or foot, he might like you. If he moves away, he might be shy or uncomfortable, or maybe he does not like you back.
- Don't worry too much about it! Everything happens for a reason, and if this guy doesn't like you back, it just means you're one step closer to finding your true match.
- Try making him a gift for his birthday, even if it's just a note. Do something to show that you know when his birthday is and that you care about him.

About This Article
If you’re trying to attract the guy you’re crushing on, be playful to get his attention. For example, try joking around with him by saying something like, “I like your outfit, does your mom pick out all of your clothes?” Talk to him about things you have in common, like a favorite TV show or musician, so you can get to know him better. Once you’ve become friends, try flirting with him so he doesn’t think of you as just a friend. For example, you could tell him that you really like his haircut. Take it a step further by giving him hugs so he doesn’t think of you as “one of the guys.” Be yourself and avoid pretending to dress like someone that you aren’t, or he won’t see you as genuine. For tips on how to avoid always talking about yourself when you’re around your crush, keep reading!
