how to figure out??

I think better let the time prove it! you'll never know it's true or not but..Is it a matter whether it's fake or not? is he/she ask you for help after he said this or he just said he liked you and that's all? If after said 'like' then he ask youfor help, better you not think about his statement and help if you think you're able to help. If he just said it then better think positively and accept it to encourage yourself.. As time goes by you will know the truth but I suggest you not to change our behavior to this people, act like there's nothing happened..Afer all, it's just words..

we have different personalities and characteristics that only the person close to you may be able to come up what and who you truly are. but some people are so deceiving that we end up coming up with a wrong impression and false identity judgment. but its always nice to ask and moreover good to just a genuine friend, partner to them. if you got doubts, its always nice to follow your instincts and if still confused you can ask persons who have known him to evaluate who and what are really his traits. so that you may be able to know him well and to know what he is really like. you can be friend his family, circle of friends, best friends, or even ex girlfriends. but if you like the person then just go on with what you feel. its not how he truly feel for you but on how you make him realize or make him feel that you like him/her the way he/she is. jhelai

Hi, well I think that will take time especially if the other person is a good actor. But I guess if someone says he likes you that would be true otherwise he wouldn't say anything, or at least that's what I do. Then you have to judge by yourself by analyzing the other person's way of talking, looking and reactions. Have a nice day!
