Does your guy friend like you if he has a picture of you smiling in his favourites folder?

[Ceruva]

Note: The only pics in his favourites folder are from our hangouts

Well if he is a friend then of course he likes you unless you mean likes you as in has romantic feelings or more than friends type of feelings. Then that doesn't necessarily mean anything that he has a picture of you. I have lots of pictures in my photo library of lots of different friends. I don't have any feelings for them just because I do. They are just memories. Now it doesn't mean that he might not have feelings other than just friendship for you but I wouldn't stake it solely based on him having a pic of you and nothing else. There would be signs of flirting and whatnot if he was trying to get in a relationship with you. Just remember that if you transition a friendship to a relationship and things go bad you lose both.

[Ceruva]

Yeah, he is a close friend. But I'm confused as to why the ONLY pictures in his favourites are from our one on one hangouts.

Noone else. Like he has many other pictures of his friends/family. But he just has that pic of him at the beach, and me at the beach smiling.

[_Maya_]

I get what you are saying. I still wouldn't put too much on it that it means anything even tho you want to think it. As I mentioned there would be other signs he was interested in something more. It could be the simplest of things that he accidentally hit favorites and just didn't bother to undo it. Things happen.

[Ceruva]

Yeah, well I saw it because I took photos of him in eyeliner on his phone because it has better camera quality.

This was the first time he's worn makeup too.

So I favourited the pics of him I liked because it'd be easier to send to my phone.

And when I clicked on his favourites folder, that's when I saw those photos.
And when he noticed he almost snatched his phone back, but I ignored those pictures and sent the new ones to my phone.

But yeah, that was interesting.

On the one hand, guys don’t randomly hang on to pics of people or things they don’t care about. On the other hand, caring doesn’t necessarily mean in a romantic way. It could also be for a purely sexual reason based on the pic taken.

[Ceruva]

It's a picture of me smiling while I'm neck deep buried in sand.

[Ceruva]

When he first took it he said, "Look at that beautiful smile"
But yeah, he's a respectful guy.

[Serkee]

I have ro disagree with one point there. Just because he's not flirting doesn't mean he doesn't like her romantically. Shy guys don't really flirt much, if at all. To me it really sounds like he is interested in her in that way, but he's scared to let it be known.

[Serkee]

Whoops, I meant to reply to Maya's opinion.

[Ceruva]

He's been inviting me on more one on one hangouts recently. We used to hang out with others, but after our friend flaked this one time we hung out alone.

And ever since he's only invited me.

And he isn't a touchy guy but recently he's been initiating more touch.

1. Asking me to teach him how to massage hands (He now brings it up randomly to 'prove his skill')

2. Offered to hug when we parted ways even though he EXPLICITLY told me that he wasn't a hugger months prior

I respected his boundaries before even though I'm a touchy person so him asking for a hug was crazy to me

3. He's way more enthusiastic over text.
-Always alluding to future outings. Suggesting activities. Randomly updating me about his life. Being very vulnerable when he shares things.

4. And he acts silly by saying he'll protect me. (He has taken care of me when I got hurt)

He's a gentleman.
He'll cut up the meat and serve my plate

Offer his hand for me to take when we're hiking

Take my bag

Matches my step

Asks if things are alright/okay with me

Catches up to me about my health/wellbeing

[Ceruva]

And yeah he's never dated before. He told me that he's not much of a pick up line guy.

He is funny though. He even once said, "I guess I'm a funny guy." (Lol)

[Serkee]

Yeah, he definitely likes you. I don't see any other way that can be interpreted.

[Ceruva]

Well, I like him too

[Serkee]

Since it sounds like he's pretty shy and nervous about it, maybe you should tell him that.

[DarkLegacy]

I think you are reading too much into this. It really doesn't mean anything at all.

Must be crushing on you.. 😉

[HollyK21]

Was just looking at your comments below and have to ask, is this guy straight? Androgynous?

[Ceruva]

He's straight and he's never dated before.

[HollyK21]

“First time he’s worn makeup too” sounds like he’s finally comfortable stepping out of the closet and maybe he admires you for helping him do that.

[Ceruva]

I asked him if I could do his eyeliner and he was very confused but amused me.

[Joshgag2000]

If he does like you he would ask you out to get to know you better

[Ceruva]

He does often invite me to one on one hangouts.

And he likes to discuss future activities while hanging out/over text.

It's become more frequent recently too

[spartan55]

No, doesn't mean that at all.

[MrOracle]

It seems likely, yes.

[RedInnocent69]

You mean his fap folder? Definitely.

[Ceruva]

So his fap folder consists of himself too? Lol

[RedInnocent69]

You never know…

[MrDaveAPSI]

If he saves all your pics, he likes you

[OddBeMe]

Yeah pretty good sign. Ask him out,

[Emmytexrex]

He might

[DreamLife7]

No stop being weird

[war_daddy]

probably

[Amur8711]

Definitely
