does he like me? Options

[-sincerely]

First off, I can't help but IM him when he's online. And then he always says I gotta go, but just now he didn't even say anything to me, he just signed off. Am I annoying him?

Now the uhhh ... juicy ... part? LOL. I have no clue if this guy likes me. Right now are are "friends", aren't I lucky. Today, in the morning, I saw him in the hall and he was with all his friends, and he holds out his hand to high five me. So I high five him back. Then, two days ago, we had an end of play party. We had to squish into this tight small little room. Of course, I was squished next to him. (= haha lucky me. Also, we went for a walk by ourselves, well, with one other friend of mine, but she kinda wanders off at times. He's usually trying to get my attention if we're talking and I kinda float off, and he's always making me laugh, no matter what. Also, about 2 weeks ago, right before the night of the play, we went to McDonalds. He sat right across from me, and I thought I was going to die, haha. He offered to pay for my food, too. Also, he accidentally spit something while he was talking, and his friend goes, "atleast the girl you like isn't - nevermind." I think he was going to say here, but he cut himself off by saying nevermind. Also, he doesn't like it when girls take pictures of him, but I'm allowed to, haha. He also gave me two goodbye hugs, incase I was never going to see him again. He also gave me one before we went on play.

But those are the reasons why I think he likes me. Now, reasons why I think he doesn't. Whenever he's online, he ignores me. I mean it can't be possible every time I'm online he's busy, can it? Also I just have this feeling, its like a gut feeling, that he doesn't like me, only as a friend. But thats half the gut, the other part of the gut says he loves me, haha.

I don't want to ruin our friendship possibly by telling him I like him if he doesn't like me. So .. tell me what you think?

OMG I MEANT DOES HE LIKE ME. LOL, NOT DOES HE LIKE HIM.

hey you know. i think you should just tell him. you never know the outcome of the problem unless you ask. you know. so there are many ways it can come out. he either likes you and was waiting for you to tell him first? he was just trying to have a good friendship with you because you are the only girl who doesnt get on his nerves? he is just shy? he wants time to think it off? he is already looking for someone else? i mean the list goes on and on. whatever happens happens for a reason k. just tell him. its better telling him and move on if things go bad wheather than keeping it to yourself. well good luck. jsut still keep in touch with him though.
