Reply #29: There are some tells that can make you tell...

First, is he clumsy when he is around you? That's a BIG tell, guys lose all coordination when they are around someone they really like. Another clue would be if he finds any excuse to hang out with you, or to see you, I'm not talking about creepy stuff like stalking you at home, but like, if you work in a public access place, like a store, he ends up being there almost every day. Other clues include being incoherent around you and not complimenting you when you think he should. I know that last one is weird, but if the guy isn't sure you like him the same way, he will avoid, at all costs, complimenting you, even though he wants to.

OK, those are some of the clues, others have already been mentioned.

Good luck! And a bit of advise, life is too short to torture yourself in this manner, if you like him "that way" then go for it. Guys LIKE directness, 9 times out of 10, remember, we guys are dumb, and any subtle hints you are dropping will either go unnoticed or will only confuse him.
