Does he like me as a friend or more?

[Jaelisha]

I havent been on many dates in my lifetime. Maybe around 3 so far. Never had a boyfriend, only casually 'gotten to know' guys but things didn't work out because they turned out to be people someone they weren't and i ended up getting hurt pretty badly.

I'm 18 years old and my friends cousin introduced me to this guy he knows. We didn't meet in person but we swapped blackberry pins and started talking every single day on blackberry messenger for about a month and a bit. In that month we became really good friends and he told me around a week ago that he likes me and that he would like to see me.. he's 19 years old so he's not that much older... And Tuesday on we decided to meet up.

He lives about an hour away by train but I went to his house and even though it was the first time meeting him I had told my friend and my friends cousin that i was going there, just to be on the safe side.

He was exactly what i had expected.. He was very kind and friendly. He had told me to bring a couple of dvds so that we could watch them at his house. So once i got to the station, he met me there, we went to the supermarket, bought some snacks and non-alcoholic drinks then made our way to his house.

Once we got there we were talking for about an hour, then decided to put the film in to watch, half way through he made some pasta bake for us to eat and whilst we were in the kitchen he said...

"We never hugged each other at the station, may I have a hug?"

So i gave him a hug but i was slightly shy so it was more of a one arm hug and he said...

"That was such a stiff hug, I want a proper one lol"

So I hugged him again which lasted for a few seconds.

Once we ate, we carried on watching the film and he was just messing about and throwing cushions at me and nudging me... but being cute about it.

He then started to mess about and started doing silly karate movements lol and kicked my bum about 3 times whilst messing about..

We then had to cut it short because his aunt rang him and asked him to come over to her house so that he could baby sit his little cousin while his aunt went out to dinner.

After he got off the phone with her he was pretty annoyed and wasn't in a good mood cos he wanted me to stay longer. And when I said "It's alright, it's not your fault". He said "No its not alright, I made plans with you and now theyve been interrupted. It's not okay"

When it was time to go, he dropped me to the bus stop and waited with me for the bus to come. In those 15 minutes we were just joking around and quizzing each other on capital cities of different countries. (I dont know how that came about but it was something to talk about)

As the bus was approaching, he hugged me once again and said "I'm so sorry about cutting it short, I'll make it up to you, I promise."

Then when I had gotten home I thanked him for the time we spent together and he apologised twice saying that he was really sorry about cutting it short then went to bed.

I havent spoken to him since Tuesday evening and usually we're ALWAYS talking on bbm. I know it's only been one day but i'm just curious as to what he thinks. Weirdly, his name status or picture hasnt changed either, and usually he's always updating it, so im not sure if hes lost his phone or forgotten it somewhere. And I don't want to rush things and start asking him what he thought of me because we've only met up once..

From your point of view do you think he likes me as a friend or more than a friend?

I'm actually terrible and reading signs/signals and i've made a mistake before by assuming that a guy liked me when really he just thought of us as friends so I dont want to make the same mistake twice.

So any guys out there, females also welcome, if you can help me out i'd really appreciate it.

Thankss.

I wouldnt do all that for a girl i didnt like. it seems that he likes you more than a friend to me. he does get angry at little things. a bit rigid. he has to relax. things happen in life. if he gets mad at little things like a small change in plans hes going to go crazy when big things come around. watch out for that. its only your first date. he might just need someone to say its ok and relieve some of the pressure he feels. let him know you had a good time if you did and see what he says. dont over analyze too much just keep your feelings light and kind untill you know someone well enough to go deeper.

Are you stupid or really stupid. Of couse he likes you as more than a friend. Guys make an effort for girls that they have feelings for

[xxazurexx]

^^Are you stupid?? How can he have feelings for her, when he hardly even knows her. He's met the girl ONCE..

He didn't exactly go to any effort and to meet this girl. It was all arranged and via her cousin and the guy made her feel welcome when she got there, they watched a film, he cooked her some pasta bake from a jar that takes little effort to cook btw, lol...and then he proceeded to fun fight with her and try out his karate moves on her. Then asked her for a 'hug', ...he'd wanted to get close, but had he wanted to get close for the 'right' reasons, rather than be thinking he was in for an 'easy' lay?

Yeah, it would appear he 'likes' her, but to suggest he may have developed feelings is a bit dumb, lmao.

OP...if he has a 'real' interest, you will hear from him again.

And if you are looking for something 'serious' with a guy and you want him to take you 'seriously'....don't be quick to have sex with him.

It does appear he likes you. But, he also appears to be inexperienced. He doesn't seem to know how to treat a girl and thus tries the friend approach. Or perhaps he's just a very physical guy who likes to do fun stuff like that.
Either way, just wait it out a bit and meet him again if you're into him.

It sounds like he likes you, especially since he did all that stuff you described and was annoyed because he couldn't do all the stuff he planned to do with you.
