Question by kittykatsofthewroldunite: Could you tell me if this boy likes me? Details are inside.?
There’s this boy i really like and i want to know if he likes me back. In class he’ll talk to me and laugh at all my jokes and grab the back of my chair when he walks by. Also in the halls he will usually talk to me going to our locker since his is right before mine. He will like ask me if i went to harvest fest (town party for Halloween) and say like oh you should go next year to see me do something. and at lunch hour since we can usually go outside he was sitting on the other side of this giant circle of girls and guys and when i asked him a question he came over and sat across from me. then like yesterday though he told me that me and this other guy would make a really good couple and i told him that other guy was just my friend and already had a girlfriend but he said we should still go out (me and that other guy) do you think he likes me or is just a good friend?
