Friend flirting with crush?

Okay so this guy flirts with like three specific girls, including me, but he's really good FRIENDS with us all and i cant tell if he's just being a nice friend, or flirting!!! And my *former friend flirts with him KNOWING i like him and that pi**es me off...and she makes it really obvious too. I dont want to sit down and talk to her about it because i know that with her knowing it bothers me, she'll keep doing it just to annoy me because she'll know i get jealous. I mean, he's a really good friend and he talks to me ALOT but he does with the two other girls too..He's kept this up for 2 yrs and he wont ask someone out already?! I dont want to openly ask him if he likes me because im afraid of rejection...HELP?!








Signs of flirtation:


1. he writes on my arm


2. he laughs at alot of the jokes i make


3. he notices little things about me like how i flip my pencil to erase..


4. he literally kicks my butt and stuff


etc etc etcFriend flirting with crush?
I am not sure..there is a good chance he likes you but i would need more detail on how he treats the other two girls.As for the friend that flirts w/ him knowing u like him:there may be some insecurity on her part. Talking to close friends about the guys you like makes the girl focus on his good qualities and she may start falling for him. This is wrong but i have had so many friends do this to me. The minute I stop showing interest in him is the minute she stops liking him.He may like on you guys but is not fully aware of it or maybe he is keeping his heart guarded...not sure.
