My bf thinks I'm 'too friendly' with other guys?
He feels like you are to friendly like you are trying to give them hints that your after them. Or yes be flirty its a guy thing we over think but to help him and your relationship maybe try to tone the friendliness down. Don't get me wrong be friendly by all means! But just not as friendly:) hope this helps!
Does he like me or is he just being friendly?
I've liked this guy for months and until recently I didn't think he wasn't interested in me. Last week, however, I saw him three times and he acted in a way he never has before. He kept making conversation for one thing...something he didn't really do before. He went on about how he had worked out for hours the day before and he proceeded to show me his bicep...I took is as his way of trying to impress me. I had made cookies and brought them into work that day...he ate like 5 and two days later when he came in, before he left he asked me if I had brought cookies again but I said no and that I was gonna bring cupcakes the next day and he should come in and get one and he said ok. Also that same day he asked me if we had any more jobs for him for the week or for the near future...he never had asked anyone in the office this. We always laugh when we're together too. We are both pretty shy so we do a lot of smiling and eye contact. Are these signs that he is possibly interested?
Hispanics: How friendly is too friendly?
I am wondering how a Hispanic girl would politely but clearly indicate she's not interested in a hispanic guy? I know that many young people have become americanized, but I'm looking for, as a culture, traditionally, how do men and women interact? I've been told that hispanic males take friendliness as more, often times. If a girl knows that a guy is interested, how does she manage to be friendly/polite, and yet indicate by her actions that she's not interested? I am american with Hispanic acquaintances, and I'm very friendly. I am afraid my general friendliness is being misunderstood. I don't know the guy well enough to speak openly, but I want to stop whatever is starting now, before he gets hurt. Guys: What makes you think a girl is interested or not? Girls: How do you interact with males without giving the wrong impression? (Please only answers from those over the age of 20, I need mature, accurate observations of the culture here!) Thanks! :-)
Is he interested or just friendly?
I just started working with this guy and the first day I met him he was very friendly and joking around with me. On the days he isn't there, he leaves me notes with funny drawings and jokes, but he always writes a heart and his name at the end of the note. He even took the time to make a huge picture on the wall of sticky notes. And when I see him, he always likes talking to me for a long period of time and likes showing me stuff on his computer and talks about his car. Recently, he needed me to cover for him one day, so instead of the normal email, he sent me an email, found me on facebook, and gave me his number on facebook. He told me to send him a text, which I did, yet he didn't text back. It might have been b/c it was really late at night. I asked him if he got it and he said "sure did!". What do you think? My friend thinks he's interested, but I'm not sure if he's just being a friendly person b/c it's too early to tell.
Is he just being friendly or does he like me?
He sometimes looks at me/looks away when caught. Whenever we talk there's this awkwarness/tension. He sometimes teases me. He tries to get near me, starts up random conversation. He's held doors open for me. Still, he's really nice, a gentleman, so I don't know if he's always like this, or just with me. Other girls throw themselves at him btw, but I would never do that and not just b/c I'm shy. We've been friendly acquaintances for over a yr, though i've just only recently started to get to talk to him more b/c of the college class we're both in this semester.
Is my therapist too friendly or just careing?
That's a tough question and my gut sense is that you aren't completely comfortable with his behavior or I doubt you'd be posting this question. He hasn't actually crossed any boundaries and it's not uncommon at all for a therapist to hold a client's hands. In fact, i have often done this when someone is retelling a traumatic memory in order to help them stay grounded and in the present to avoid a flashback, although that is usually after some discussion and an agreement with the client to be sure that's helpful. I've also hugged clients with their permission as I find that many long term abuse survivors have been deprived of non-abusive human contact, and child alters often respond best to a soothing touch as they lacked any experience of this as children. Your best strategy would be to discuss it with him and establish clearly what's okay and what's not okay. The boundaries in the therapeutic relationship are hugely important and any behavior, regardless of good intentions, that can be threatening to a client's sense of safety or that can raise questions about intention needs to be addressed. Given that you've posed this question, it seems there is some nagging doubt in your mind as to how to interpret the behavior and a discussion about the boundaries of the therapeutic relationship will only help to improve it. Transference and counter-transference issues are common, and it merits some discussion to clarify what you are feeling and interpreting. When a therapist does cross boundaries, it doesn't happen suddenly and all at once, it happens gradually and this would be a good time to clarify any concerns. There isn't a black and white answer here. What I can tell you is that if a therapist ignores your feelings about touching or tries to convince you that something that makes you uncomfortable is really okay, THAT is a boundary breach.
