• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

How do you know if i friend likes you as something more?

Being a guy, I'll try my best to answer that....

As simple as guys are (yes, we ARE simple compared to you! :p), relationships can be complicated.

It varys from person to person, but I'll try to give you what might be some tells.

When he's around you does he seem comfertable? Is he open and relaxed?

Does he like to spend alone time with you?

Does he just like to talk?

Does he come to you with his problems?

Those might be some good tells. Other than that, I don't know what to tell you...

Actually, he does all of those things. Most of the time that we hang out it is just one on one. We talk on the phone everyday, and he does come to me with his problems, and I usually go to him with mine. Thanks for the advice:)

The best way to tell is when they come out and say so. I know that seems pretty general and simple, but too often women (and I know this because I've been guilty of it several times) try to scrutinize and interpret every single little action of a guy pal to ascertain whether or not they like them in more than the friendship sense of the word. Certain actions such as a lingering hug or spending more time together can me misread. The only way to know for certain is to either wait until he speaks up and confesses his true feelings or you can risk the friendship and ask him.
