My sister is a tomboy and guys are flocking around her!! Tomboys can be fun, but, there has to be some sort of balance, ya know? Wherein, there should be SOME ways that people can tell that you know you are a girl. Kind of hard to explain, but that's what I have!

That's all folks...In this forum, at least! *tips imaginary hat*

When he acts like a nerd around you is what my brother said...:)

When he is shy around you, stutters, and appears nervous around you. Or, the big, obvious answer:

He asks you out. Or tells you straight to your face.

Tomboys are fun! Just make sure that there are SOME ways that you can tell you are a girl on...It's sort of hard to say, but..I think people know what I mean.
And, to answer your actual question;

When he acts like a dork. When he stutters, and like stares at you and stuff -Courtesy of my brother.

=) Hope I Helped!

My sister is a Tomboy. Tomboys can be fun, but most guys, because they have that super hero wannabe personality about them, they prefer to have girls that they can protect. So girls who can't beat them at basketball or wrestling, as stated by one guy in the book. But quite a few guys like tomboys! =)

And, to answer your question with my brother's reply:

When they act like a dork around you, stutter, blush, stare at you. -Josh

LOL...There ya have it!

and,

When they blush madly, or they stutter nervously, or you catch them staring at you and when you look back at them they look the other way fast.

Hope I helped!

I am only 14, (and homeschooled) so I have never been asked out or anything, but I can understand the whole 'just a sister/brother' thing. My Mum's advice is just be friends until you're ready for a big commitment (like marriage). I am learning to follow that! It's hard sometimes when you like a guy, to just be friendly and not flirt and try to get him to notice you. The guys I know around my age really don't seem to be interested in girls. Which I guess helps me to just act normal..... :)
That's my take on it all anyway. :)

God Can.

    you're saying that a guy wants a girl to make the first move. in what term do you mean to make the first move? there is this one forum asking about a girl asking a guy out for a adate. for me i don't like that idea. cuz if i ever get married i defiantly wood  want the guy to be the leader in the marriage. and i wood feel that if i took that first step to ask him then i could possibly expect him maybe not to be the leader in the marriage. so what do you classify as first move? just curious. maybe you can answer something i've been thinking about

first moves (in my opinion):

1.) asking out on a date/to court.
2.) telling someone you like them (to their face, not texting or online).
3.) doing something extremely obvious to show that you like them, such as a very nice birthday present (necklace, earrings), flowers, etc.

if a guy would do any of those things for me, i would have no doubt in my mind that he's made the first move. :p

to the origonal question:

i'll tell you what i did when i recently liked this girl.
i walked with her for a ways after class and talked with her (small talk, like what her major is and other schoolish stuff). i'm pretty sure i was nervous and my face was red. my throat was dry. the next time we had class together, i sat next to her.
so, i would say he'll have difficulty talking to you, will look at you, or be shy in front of you.
hopefully i was able to help

well thanks for the reply derek. sometimes it seems it's kinda hard to figure out. there is this one guy i like. the reason i like him is cuz of his passion for the Lord and his leader ship, his consideration for other people. and i often wonder how he feels. does he feel the same way? we often together.

haha I like to make the first move, actually! I like being the man with a plan and sweeping a girl off her feet. It just feels good and exciting! I guess I used to be a ll shy and stuff and I would ask a girl's friends if she liked me or whatever, and I still do that a lot. But now I just go and call her and ask her on a date. I once asked a girl's little sister what kind of music she liked so I could pick out a good CD to give her along with a necklace for her birthday. Guys do that when they like a girl. They talk to her friends about her. I notice girls take a long time to get ready before we hang out if I know she likes me. I think that's really cute actually... If a guy tries to start a conversation with you, but it gets really awkward or he fumbles a lot in his speech, he is definitely nervous and has trouble concentrating on the conversation because he is so heavily concentrated on you and how he acts around you. If that's the case, chances are he really likes you. And guys also like to be close to the girl they like. I recall a time when told my friends before a movie to arrange themselves so that a girl I liked would sit next to me lol. And if a guys gets mad at another guy for interrupting a conversation with you or getting in the way of him being with you, the guy probably likes you. That phenomenon is known as "blocking".

what if I'm talking to a guy who I know likes me but hasn't asked me out yet and doesn't flirt, and another guy that is really outgoing and we are very comfortable around each other and that guy is flirting with me, but his gf is there (yeah...), why does the first guy keep trying to quietly draw out the second guy into a separate conversation, therefore almost excluding me? if that made any sense at all...

Well it could be that the guy who likes you wants to draw the second guy's attention away from you. The fact that he excludes you just means he might be too shy to really talk to you. It may sound silly, but he might at the same time be trying to impress you with his good social skills around other people, you know what I mean?

I guess I was confused by him talking to the other guy, not me, but yeah, that makes sense. Thanks!

Ok so there's this guy that goes to a different church than i do, but our churches do alot of activities with each toher so i always see him. he's always at the activities, and he always tries to stand next to me, and he always looks at me (and when i glance his way he looks away quickly and acts like he was never looking at me). I really like him, so i wanna get to know him, but I can't get the nerve to go talk to him, and i think he's sorta shy. Could he like me, or does he just have a staring problem?

haha, well I'd say there's a possibly he has feelings for you, sure. (I only said "haha" as in, I know what you mean about the staring thing, I wasn't laughing at you.)

if you want to get to know him, just start a conversation next time you two see each other. ask a close girl (or guy, if you think that's better) friend who knows the deal if she/he'd tag along with you so it wouldn't be just you and the guy talking the whole time. even ask your mom (or even your dad, but most dads are pretty clueless about this kinda stuff, haha) to introduce herself to his parents, if that's possible.

honestly, though, just simple stuff like letting him be around you and in on conversations with your friends is what will really work, IMO. :]

I've noticed alot of girls here are tomboys, so am I and I've always had alot of guys around me. They like a girl who can fluently talk mechanics and dirt bike lingo. My mom has warned me that guys like those capable girls as friends but they don't stir a man's instincts to protect or help that girl. Is that true guys?

It depends on the guy. I would recommend, though, not to purposefully act or put yourself into situations where he will need to protect or help you. That's manipulation. Just be yourself. I bet a lot of guys would love to have a girl who can fluently talk mechanics and bike lingo.
