Q: ILL RATE 5'S NO MATTER WHAT!


I met this guy last week who was really interested in me but I wasn’t as interested in him(I was “talking” to one of his friends). Well we hooked up that weekend and told me he likes me. He called me everyday this week and I started to realize I liked him too and he asked me out on Thursday. Well we hung out this weekend and I started to REALLY like him but he didn’t treat me like a girlfriend at all. When we were with his friends he showed no affection whatsoever but when we were alone he would hug me and hold my hand and stuff. I talked to one of his best friends about it and he told me he would talk to him. On Saturday night my boyfriend called me and told me we should go back to just “talking” because he felt we were moving too fast and that going out with someone is a big step to him. I talked to his best friend and his best friend told me that he was the kind of guy who only showed affection when him and his gf are alone. He told me that my bf still really likes me but wants to slow things down. We were supposed to hang out on Sunday even though we aren’t goin out(he said we are still going to talk and hang out) but he called me and pretended like we never made plans of hanging out. I don’t know what I should do because I really like him (I’ve dated many guys this summer/school year but I’ve liked him the most and I think it’s because I feel like we actually connect).. should I go after him even though he could be leading me on? Or should I just forgot about him even though maybe we can make things work out?
how old are you two? I'm guessing maybe high schoolish. I'm asking this because there's always that age group or stage where dating is just new or very awkward.

If this is the case, then I would just take it slow just like the guy is asking. You two will warm up to each other, but if that doesn't happen atleast your relationship didn't really take off.

I really think you don't have much to lose, other than time. You like him, he likes you... he probly is just nervous and needs to ease into this. Of course, there's such a thing as waiting too long, but that's up for you to decide. I would probly wait 1-2 months max.

thank you!! great advice
