Help does he like me

So I’ve been working up the courage to tell someone I like them. Anyway i saw him earlier and he texted me tonight to ask if I was ok as I didn’t seem my usual self.
Anyway, I asked him to phone me which he did and I told him I had feelings for him.
He said he was surprised he wasn’t expecting that!
He also said he’d come by tomorrow so we could talk about it.
Now I don’t know if that means he likes me or not ?? I’m so nervous! Thoughts ?

In what sort of capacity do you know him?

Mar45 · 20/07/2023 22:16

friend of a friend

I think that sounds quite promising 🙂 its easier to let someone down over the phone so I think it's more likely he would have said 'oh that's nice and unexpected, I only see you as a friend though'...and I don't think he would have offered to come for a face to face just to tell you he doesn't feel the same. Fingers crossed for you for tomorrow 🤞🏻 let us know how it goes!

Is he very- like painfully - shy? Unless he is I’m struggling to see why he didn’t just say “I like you too”. I hope I’m wrong.

And he was observant enough to notice you wasnt your usual self. And went out his way to contact you and check in 😀

Thank you I hope so! Although he is a really nice guy so maybe he wants to let me down gently

He might want to let you down gently, explain that he doesn't want to ruin a valued friendship, worries it would be awkward with the mutual friend if you split up...

He might like you too but also want to talk through the above!

At least he wants to meet up and talk to you so, either way, he doesn't sound like a huge dickhead! 😉

Just tell him how you feel, what’s the worst that can happen ?

he might be likes you, or he might now, whatever happens, tomorrow will still be another day.

@GreyCarpet has nailed it.

@Mar45 - good on you for taking the initiative. Good luck for tomorrow. Whatever the outcome, I think you did right in putting it out there.

Hope it goes well

Just be careful, there's lots of guys out there that would take advantage in this situation. String you along for a bit and then 'decide' you both want different things.

He's going to think you're smitten considering how you've gone about things. And if hes just a friend of a friend and this has taken him totally by shock...I mean, there's an un even ground feelings wise. So you need to be careful.

I wouldn't be meeting him at my house.

Go out for coffee with him. Give it 'I'm sorry I just blurted that out yesterday! I was in an odd mood about something else and it just came our like that! But I'd love to get to know you more if you'd be up for that because you're great company'.
