Question Posted Wednesday November 19 2003, 7:03 pm
Whoo, it's another question suspiously similar to every other question asked here, but is getting asked here because the person who is asking it thinks that their situation is somehow inherently special and different from everyone else's.
So, still want to help me?
Ok. I've been friends with this guy (I shall refer to him as... um... Blarg) for about 3 years total. (I am in 9th grade, as is he.) I started liking Blarg about 2 1/2 years ago, and I've told him I like him, abeit via other people. I *suspect* that he likes me "as more than a friend" (I DESPISE that phrase but it will have to do), in fact I'm nearly positive, but recently something happened at his birthday party that made me wonder.
He invited me to his party (I was the only girl he invited) and most of the party was taking place at an arcade. The party guests and Blarg stayed at his house for about half an hour before getting in the car to ride to the arcade, where he was continually teased about liking me, and I about liking him. We had to sit next to each other in the car on the way there for space reasons, to the great amusement of the other partygoers in the car. We were sitting in the car for about 10 minutes or so because his parents were still in the house, and we were getting teased unmercifully. Finally Blarg says, "I don't like ***** (me) as a girlfriend, ok?" I was a tad bit startled, and since then I've been wondering if he said what he meant or if it was just to get the other people off his back. I did ask one of my friends about it and she thought he just said it to get them to shut up, but I decided to bug the entire internet because you're all so special. :P

So of course when his friends are hounding on him about it, he's going to deny it. It's a guys natural instinct to deny the truth when they're being teased. But, to know for sure, you need to ask him. And if I'm right, which I think I am, you guys would probably end up hooking up. I mean it'll never happen if you don't talk to him about it. So, don't worry, and ask him about it. I hope this helps. [ Pandabalism's advice column | Ask Pandabalism A Question ]
