    id really appreciate a male opinion on this. in the past 3 months ive started playing tennis with this guy 4 or 5 times a week. when we first met he suggested that we go for drinks after playing some evening but then seemed to draw back from it. he has since asked me to go for lunch (he works nearby) which we have done. He also asked me about going biking at the weekend.
    OK, i really like him. I dont know if he is just pleased to have found a sports junky buddy or if he has romance on his mind. is he into me or not?

    Because I'm only 17 you will probably not take my opinion but I'm going to say it anyways. As he keeps asking you out on sporting events as such he does like you. I'd say after a few times out together he should tell you. I think he's waiting for the right moment as you both have in common the liking for sports. This is just my opinion and hope it helps

    Why dont you ask him out for drinks and see how he reacts?

    If a girl I liked asked me out for a drink it would be a instant yes and work the logistics out later kind of response.

    I agree with this. It is difficult to tell as you said yourself wether or not its just about the sports, but it sounds like there could be a bit more going on, obviously impossible to say for sure tho. If you just play along for the next few times you see him, I'm sure that if he does like you, he will let you know in onw way or another!

    Hope this helps!

    Ask him. Even if it's a negative answer, at least you know - it's better than having no answer at all. Just be straight with him; ask him if he wants to get drinks, exchange phone numbers - yada yada yada. You've nothing to lose!

    thanks, actually,playing along for a while is probably a good idea. i dont want to go ruining what might be a very good friendship.

    Bugger tradition. It's a useless one that just wastes time and to be honest you have nothing to lose at all from asking him out. If he's not interested he'll say so and then he'll keep being mates if you want to. By the sounds of it, id say he is probably interested.
