I Like A Boy And He Likes Me Too. He Just Wants To Be Friends Though. What Should I Do?

If a guy you like says he "just wants to be friends" with you, there are two things you can do:

• Accept his decision and move on.
• Fight to try and change his mind.

You mentioned in your question that the guy likes you too - so perhaps there's something you can do to get him to see you as more than just a friend!

A guy likes me, but just wants to be friends A guy might tell you he wants to stay friends for a number of different reasons:

• He might be in another relationship
• He might not think of you in 'that' way
• He might feel awkward or shy about taking things further
• There might be something else holding him back

Finding out what's stopping this guy from becoming your boyfriend is key to working out how to proceed.

Try asking him why he doesn't want to take his feelings for you any further, as this might be the easiest way to get a straight answer.

Getting a guy to be more than just friends
If you don't want to be so upfront about things, you could try taking a more 'covert' approach.

You could try getting the guy in question to appreciate different sides of you, which might make him realize his feelings go further than just simple friendship.

Guys are very visual, so you may want to change how you dress or how you do your hair when you're around him. This will make him wake up and notice your physical appeal.

As friends, try and spend more time having genuine fun with each other. Make an effort to get into the hobbies and interests he's involved in. This will make him realize how compatible you two are, and how great a proper relationship might be.
