How do you tell if a pussy's trying to get the guts up to say that he likes you or if you're just the target of his attention because you're the only person there?

While I've known this guy, probably my whole life, he's only in the last month started hugging me.  
Last week he was talking about how his insurance claimed his car was totaled from hail damage.  So this week he's gotten a new car.  I can understand wanting to show it off, but he asked me if I wanted to sit in it when I'd never been in his old car.
Am I just being paranoid or is he crushing on me?

Paranoid.  If he whips out his dick and says "So, what do you think of this?" THEN he may (possibly) be crushing on you.

Or he might've read too much The Boys.

It's a gamble, all depends on how probable it is that they'll get something for it.

As amusing as all the crotch jokes are, first would you inform the court what exactly makes him a 'pussy'?

Sunic may be more abrasive than sandpaper coated in chainsaws (not that its a bad thing, he really does know what he's talking about), but just posting in this thread without warning and telling him he's an asshole which, if you knew his past experiences on WotC and Paizo is flat-out uncalled for. Never mind the insults (which are clearly 4Chan-level childish). You say people like Sunic are the bane of the internet? Try looking at your own post and telling me you are better than him.

Here's a fun fact: You aren't. By a few leagues.

Because I haven't been paying attention to if we've been making a major distinction between "nice guy" and "pussy" and everything I know about him would put him on the pussy-niceguy end of the spectrum as opposed to the dick-asshole end of the spectrum.

Until he's wiping someone's face with that dick he is a pussy. The end, +1 and seconded.

The real question that I had, yellerSumner, was if he is diggin on you, are you interested? There's many paths that lead from there, most of which I'm not qualified to enumerate, but I think it's an important consideration. Plus I'm outta penis jokes.

No, I'm not interested in him. 
Not attracted to him physically and if he's got a personality to speak of, he hides it behind memorized Weird All songs and youtube poops.


I would be interested in how to tell someone they're not jumping ladders without being a complete bitch.

Well, first of all, it's really hard to tell someone they're not your type when you've already established a relationship with them as friends...

I mean, you could always ignore his passes. Pass up chances to do more "intimate" things like ride in his car (NEVER get in a car with a guy, they only want to show you their joysticks... and they usually drive automatics). Show disinterest in his lures... Kinda just tell him you need some space... Hang out with different people more than him.

Or you could start whining to him about how all of your guy friends keep hitting on you and you don't appreciate it. You find it annoying that people you trust want to go further with you when all you want to do is be friends... Stuff like that. He might catch the hint.

Or you could just be the bitch you don't want to be and tell him that he's the best guy friend you've ever had... and then go on talking for hours about this other guy you're crushing on and have him help you devise a plan to "capture" sir hottie pant's heart! :evillaugh

People usually think that I've lost my mind. I haven't lost it, I know exactly where it is: the gutter.

My body is a temple. That is why I make chocolate sacrifices in it every day.

Okay so first off, I haven't read this thread and probably won't. :P  Secondly, this comment is inspired by the above post..
That being said, I do have this bit of advice for guys (especially ones in America): Learn to drive manual transmission.

Because being a nice guy doesn't leave your hands on a rod enough!
Buy a manual transmission.

Hint to nice Guys, be an Asswhole. Has being a nice guy ever helped you?

What's a convenience?

Situation details:
[spoiler]We go to the same church and we've both attended it all our lives.  That means we see each other about once a week.  Our church is currently trying to start a HS graduate-20-something class, but the effort's not amazingly productive or anything.  There's me, this guy, and a brother and sister.  The brother and sister aren't there all the time and if the pastor that's sort of our teacher isn't available, it ends up just being me and the other guy.[/spoiler]

If When I move, I wouldn't mind hearing the occasional update about him, from my mom, but he's not someone I'm going to make an effort to keep in contact with.

Or you could just be the bitch you don't want to be and tell him that he's the best guy friend you've ever had... and then go on talking for hours about this other guy you're crushing on and have him help you devise a plan to "capture" sir hottie pant's heart! :evillaugh
Hm, maybe I should rephrase that: Without giving away that I know I'm being a bitch.  I'm fine with being a bitch on the net, but face-to-face I can't pull off as easily.

The problem I'd run into with plans that involve talking about other guys is that I'd have to invent them (or actually meet them which could be even worse), and I'm too lazy to do that, especially since it'd probably take weeks of sowing and I might have to convince my mom to back up my plan which could make things more complex.

Then continue to be his friend, but if he does something that makes you uncomfortable, speak up! Tell him, "I'm sorry (insert name), but this just doesn't feel right." Or something along those lines. You can be assertive without being bitchy.

Plus, body language speaks a lot louder than words. I'm sure he'll get the hint that you're not into him when he tries to put his arm over you and you delicately remove it from your shoulder...

In ladder theory terminology, this would be the boot to the head which kicks him into the Abyss when he tries to jump ladders.  :lol

A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. Some guys don't get it. Ever.
You could burn their damn ladder down and they'd still be holding onto your leg for dear life while you ceaselessly kick their face off. Hell, you could even cut off their hands while kicking them, and they'd still be find a way to stay on your ladder...

I like this ladder metaphor. It's exciting.
