    We always know when someone's flirting with us just by their tone. It's complimentary, filled with humor and, you know, lighthearted. If you're comfortable, respond in kind!

    Give yourself some time and separate yourself from him to give yourself a real chance to move on. It may not happen immediately, but by not talking to him and focusing on yourself, you'll begin to get over him.

    If she truly is a mean person, your crush will eventually realize this for himself. Avoid interfering in their relationship and just focus on being a good friend to him.

    Think about what will happen once you tell him and whether he shows signs of liking you back--if you're okay with sacrificing your friendship for the possibility of being with him, tell him! If not, now probably isn't the right time to tell him how you're feeling.

    If he's telling you that he doesn't have a girlfriend when you know that's not true, this doesn't show that he's a very honest guy. Have a conversation with him where you ask him if he truly does have a girlfriend, telling him that you believe he actually does.

    So my crush is in a relationship now. Won't it be awkward that I'm confessing him while he's in a relationship?

    It may be awkward, but if this is the only way for you to let go of your feelings and move on, tell him. Just do it in as respectful a way as possible to avoid interfering in his relationship too much.

    Just give it some time, things will become less awkward. If you pretend like everything is normal when you're around your crush, they will start to act normally again too.

    If you really, truly like him, you may want to tell him. Even if he has a girlfriend, telling him how you feel can make you feel better. If you do think that it's worth telling him, gather up your courage. Be confident in yourself and your feelings so you can state them clearly. The worst that could happen is he tells you that he doesn't feel the same way. On the other hand, he could also have feelings for you. Either way, you'll finally be able to get it off of your chest. The best way to tell him is face to face; however, with his girlfriend around, that might not always be ideal. So a text message or a message via Facebook can help you get what you want to tell him across. Be honest and open with him. But also be considerate. Your crush has a girlfriend. Remember that she has feelings too. If you're friends with her, tell her too. You don't want to ruin your friendship with her. Don't talk in a very hyperbolic way because it might scare him. Let him know that you are aware about his girlfriend but still you wanted to let him know even if nothing will change after this moment, at least you confronted him with confidence.

    Should I tell a guy who has a girlfriend that I like him?

    It depends on how much you like him and what your relationship is to his girlfriend. If you're friends with her, you could ruin your friendship by expressing your feelings. On the other hand, bottling up your feelings is never healthy. You need to think about the impacts your telling him that you like him could have. Try to find reasons as to why you like him so much. You need to understand your feelings, to allow you to make the correct decision and to be able to express them in a confident way. You could also try talking to her if you're friends with her. If you're honest and open about the way you feel, she may be upset at first, but she may also come to understand and appreciate that you chose to confide in her first. In the end, if you feel really strongly about your feelings for him, you may need to try to talk to him and tell him how you feel. Even if he doesn't feel the same way, you may feel better after getting it off your chest.

    The best and most sure way to know is to ask him directly. Be clear and simply ask, "Do you have a girlfriend." However, if you're unable to do that, or he said no and you're not sure if you believe him, there are a few things you can do to try to figure out if he does have a girlfriend. Try asking his friends or people that know him if he does. You could also look through his social media. Look for pictures of him with another girl that look like they may be dating. With a little bit of snooping, it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out if a guy has a girlfriend or not.
