Any body language experts out there? What does it mean if a guy hugs you and rubs your back gently?

Like me, he's a MAN.  We like to touch women, it's built in like breathing.  Tell him you like it and rub his back next time.  Sheesh!

If he's such a good friend why does he disrespect you by touching your butt?  Even a serious boyfriend should not assume such privilege unless you have not demanded more respect.  \nI think he likes you, but desires you more.  If only he showed you some respect.  If you ask a guy for approval, they sometimes see you as weak and easy game.  \n\nRespect has to be primary.  It would be more proper to expect and demand a bit more respect prior to dating this lad.  Once you have established some ground rules and he follows them, it would be a safer date, if you so desire.  This holds true with anyone whom you decide to date.    \n\nLike it or not, "Men treat women the way they act."  Be careful.

He may not be comfortable expressing his romantic side with you because he is unsure of how you will see him. He may want to be seen as masculine and may see showing tenderness as feminine. This is why I don't get into the gender bending stuff. He may be confused that real men don't want to kiss and he sees you as his woman so he is not going to initiate anything tender. Or maybe he is used to not having to initiate anything. If he has only been with guys much older they may have done everything to him so he didn't have to make a move on his own.  If he enjoys the sex then he will eventually learn that you require some heating up on his part and you need to give him positive reinforcement. When he does even the smallest nice thing for you praise him as though it where a grand romantic gesture. As he realizes how much that turns you on he will gradually expound on that. \nOne other thing that might just might help. Talk to him. Tell him you want him to take the lead every once in a while tell him you need him to take your hand on occasion and sometimes you would like him to just reach out and grab you, pull you close and kiss you. It may be awkward at first but if he gets enough reward for his efforts then he will continue with gusto.

It sounds like you're stressing too much over it.  If he acts lovingly and caringly towards you then it means he knows how much you love him.  \n\nYou say you have a good relationship, if you weren't giving him enough love then he'd be causing conflict.\n\nLet him buy you stuff and let him take care of you, this usually makes guys feel good.  Show him you appreciate what he does for you by expressing it freely.

Yes he likes you, he's probably a little shy to come clean, tell him you'd like to have a private talk with him, if he goes with you tell him that you've noticed him staring at you and always giving you hugs, ask him if he likes you, don't come clean first because if he says no you'll feel embarassed, keep it private, he'll feel more comfortable.

1-When a quy looks at you with his eyes full of questions what does that mean? -->\n usually means that there not sure abt their feeling toward you or they are shy of ask u what there feeling are in hope that u would start the topic and share ur feeling first\n\n2-when he opens up to telling u some type of stuff about himself --->\nUsually he's tyna impress you with his qualities and tryna leave a good impression ... he's tryna make ya like him\n\n3- why do they like when u lay ur head on thier chest --->\nCause that gives em the sence that u care for them and wanna be closer to them ... same feeling that girls have when a guy cuddles them\n\n4- why can't they be honest with thier feeling -->\nWell there is a contravery abt this question to both guys and girls ... there really isnt a right answer. It depends on what the other persons personlity is like ... and on honesty. In general, it is hard to share your feelings when ur not sure what the other person feels towards you

touch is very important and can send the right message. Don't make it too personal, but touch his arm casually. Brush hands with him. If you know he is looking at you, smile, even if you aren't looking at him. It's like you are acknowledging his flirtation. Guys like girls who are bold. Work on your eye shy, because if you catch his eye just once, that may be all it takes.

That's hard in high/middle school. He may just feel like experimenting. It's hard to just ask. Touch his back for no reason. See how he reacts.

Your description shown that he likes you. But, don't show your true  feeling towards him. Just act you don't know and stay as what you are. See what his next move ! should he gives you more hugs and kisses then maybe you can return him some. Be a little careful, when the final kill by him that is "sex". Take care !

Being in a relationship is like a game and you have to learn how to play it to win. Let's look at the evidence here a little more carefully: 1-he is calling you more; 2-he has referred to you hon on more than once occasion, and 3-he wants to clean your car. Yes, this gentleman indeed sounds like a nice guy. However, I would suggest you let the relationship take it's course, slow and steady. He may be using this time to sort out his feelings for you as well. What he appears to be doing is throwing hints at you. Therefore, develop a strategy to throw hints at him as well. For instance, if you are "hanging out" at his place, help him clean up some time. Take him to dinner and pay. When he hugs you, give him a quick peck on the cheek. These things are subtle and will give you a chance to return the signals you are receiving. I wish you two the best. It wont be long before you two are in love.

You have to let him know you like him one way or the other. When I'm with a girl that I like I always look for a way to break the "touch barrier" I'm talking about mainly flirting and and also the first time you touch someone is the hardest after that it all rolls down hill from there. It sounds weird to talk about it like this but I'm only  talking about stuff like play punching. Also there is a proximity bubble we all have around are selves. I forgot what actually equates this space but we naturally know what it is. If you like some one and want to move further you need to break this barrier. If they are uncomfortable they will back up. if not they will embrace it. They could just sit there though. That is usually when you find out for sure if they are down or not. So that's just my two cents. Hope all goes well.

a hug is just a sign of some sort of affection, showing that a person cares for another and isn't repulsed by the idea of physically touching them

I am not trying to sound rude but.. unless he has a neon sign that says he doesn't, he does. \n\n1. introduced you to his friends (show of respect and sign that he likes you)\n2. Only girl there - feels he can take you anywhere and that he feels comfortable with just you\n3. "he carried me onto his bedroom and tucked me in with sheets for it was really freezing. and then he asked me, 'do you mind if we cuddle, diane?'" - sounds like somehing out of a romance novel. He OBVIOUSLY likes you. If he did this "just to be nice/friendly" and "as a friend", there is something going on.\n\n4. "He just pat my back and laid his head on my back. He brushed my hair with his hand" - Physical contact = friendship + more (AKA. really likes you)\n\n5."'glad you were here'." - shows appreciation for your presence.\n\nOverall, the odds are that he not only likes you but is crazy about you. If I had a guy do this to me, I would be completely head over heals. YES, Diane, I think there is a 158% chance he not only likes you but wants to be more than friends (quite so actually).\n\nGood luck!

When he holds you and touches you, gentle and lovingly. When he does everything he can to make you feel comfort and joy. When he drops everything to make sure you are safe. Telling you he loves you is not enough, showing you is the best way that you can know for sure.

You'll sense it. His actions, his speeches or whatever the slightest movement will give him out if he likes you. So watch out for his behaviours and learn to understand the body languages, you'll find it exceptionally helpful when it comes to interpret one person's doing.
