Ask Shallon: Do Flirty Texts Mean She Likes Me?

Today we get a question from a dude bro who can’t figure out if his crush is crushing back or just playing games!

Hi Shallon,

Theres this girl that i like, she happens to be one of my good friends. We text sometimes and she occassionally sends flirty texts like “by the end of your training your gonna be like rocky with a 8 pack” when I told her I started boxing. But I’m not sure if she likes me more than a friend.  Also, I have a feeling she might like someone else…unsure tho.

Do NOT let yourself get here!

Dear Konfused Kyron,

Hmm…well I’ll tell you this: I am a VERY flirty girl but I would never ever send texts that are even REMOTELY flirtatious to a guy I wasn’t into. The last thing I’d want is to make him think I liked him, unless I was some kind of control freak sociopath. And who knows, she may be. One in 20 people are! Anyway, barring the sociopath thing, she probably is into you.

Paris Hilton is a sociopath. She is.

But she could also be into other dudes as well. In high school, girls (and guys) are just learning to use this weapon called flirting and sometimes they just wile out and flirt with too many dudes at once. But again, I don’t think that’s the case.I think she’s probably into you. But there’s only one way you can know for sure: ASK HER OUT.

What's the worst that could happen?

Yes, this will take guts, balls and other body parts but it’ll be worth it. If she says no, then boom, there’s your answer. Yeah it’ll hurt and feel gross but at least you’ll know! And then you can feel shitty for a week, sulk and then move on with your life.

But she could say yes. And how rad woud that be? But you’ll never know unless you just go for it.

XO,
