Does he like her

Answer 1

The question:

My friend; a girl (L, 17 years old) likes this boy (A, 15 years old). She met him in some website. They never meet in real, but they always talk everyday by PM. And one day the girl said to him that she liked (LIKED - past tense) him. She also clarified that it was past tense, although she's still like him. And the boy answered like this "It's fine if you like me. It makes me feel better after being harassed by the idiots at my school everyday."

She answered "I will try to not bother you too much again."

And he replied "Nah, it's fine. I kinda like it actually, speaking with someone who doesn't call me with names and such."

And they still talking in PM. And the other day, the boy also told her that he doesn't mind if the girl tell him whatever she's feeling bad about. But when the girl asked why, the boy didn't say he likes her. He said that he's being a good friend.
