Am I just imagining things or..

[JoL]

I have a good gut feeling for these things usually, but thought i would ask advice since im not too sure this time..

 

I have been friends with this guy since 1st year of University. We have always been able to have a laugh and get along really well. We have never been best friends or anything, but would sometimes have lunch together, hang in a group and sit together in lectures. I would say he is part of my "circle of friends" from university.

 

Anyway, the last few months our contact has been limited to IM (i have graduated, he is still studying). Last year i started to notice flirty comments and little bits and pieces i brushed off as innocent.

This year however, i've noticed it more and more..has made a few comments and jokes..For example, he told me i looked amazing (on IM) when he saw me at a get together. He has said things like im very sweet, im a princess, beautiful etc. He has never said any of it to my face, it has all been on IM, but we joke about going travelling together and stuff all the time. I am confused because all of it has all be in the context of kidding around. He always says we should have lunch and catch up (he doesnt really say this to any of the other friends in our group) and has told me he would love to catch up one day and hang out.

 

The reason i think he may not like me is that he tells me about other girls he finds hot and attractive and doesnt have a problem discussing it with me.

 

 

Now, i dont want to jump to conclusions, but could it be possible that he likes me more than a friend?

Has he set up an actual date and time for a lunch? I wouldn't read too much romance into what he's doing if he hasn't set up an actual lunch date. It sounds fun, flirty and with some interest - but I expect if he has a genuine, goal-directed interest he'll be setting up an actual time/place/date.

 

You could always ask him, and just do what is intended: catch up, have some fun, enjoy each other's company. There's nothing that says it can't just be a friendly get-together.
