Does he like me back. "Does he like me back?" This question has been on my mind for weeks now. Every time I see him, my heart skips a beat and I can't help but wonder if he feels the same way about me. We've been friends for a while now, but lately I've been noticing that our interactions seem to be a little more...flirty. I catch him staring at me when he thinks I'm not looking, and he always seems to find a way to touch my arm or shoulder when we're talking. He compliments me on my appearance and laughs at all my jokes, even the ones that aren't that funny. It's hard to ignore these signs, but I can't shake the feeling of uncertainty that lingers in the back of my mind. I've tried dropping hints that I like him too, but I can never seem to muster up the courage to just come right out and say it. What if he doesn't feel the same way? What if our friendship is ruined because I misread the signals? These thoughts plague me every time I see him, and I find myself analyzing every little thing he does or says in search of an answer. I've even considered asking our mutual friends for their opinion on the matter, but I don't want to risk embarrassing myself or making things awkward between us. So I continue to silently pine for him, hoping that one day he'll make a move or at least give me a clear indication of his feelings. But as the days turn into weeks and the weeks turn into months, I can't help but feel a sense of frustration building inside me. Why can't he just tell me how he feels? Why does everything have to be so complicated? I wish I had the courage to confront him and ask him outright, but the fear of rejection holds me back. So for now, I'll continue to wonder and dream about the possibility of us being more than just friends. Maybe excuses to cancel a date one day he'll muster up the courage to tell me how he feels, or maybe I'll find the strength to ask him myself. Until then, I'll just have to wait and see what the future holds for us.
