I have studied psychology though I am not a psychologist or a licensed counselor of any sort. I'm an artist and writer and teach both to small private groups. I have worked with counselors by using art and writing projects at workshops to encourage people to open up, and I have been recommended by therapists to their clients to take my classes to help them understand more about themselves and what all is going on in their lives through art and writing. Though I'm not an art therapist, I use many tools from art therapy and my own experiences gleaned from counseling. I have always had the desire to help people and I do it in any way possible. Hopefully I can be of some help to many of you!

K so I hung out with this kid today.. and we amidiatly hit it off (that I know of) and we hung out all day. and he held me and we kissed and everything.. But he always teases me by looking at me but not kissing me and just looking away in a teasing way. Well Im not sure if he likes me if he is playing me or what. I have really bad trust isues because I have been hurt by so many guys. I would really like to think he really likes me, because If so id like to go out with him maybe! What should I do? Im going to be seeing him tomorrow also! (link)
It sounds like this guy likes you already! Why would he hang out with you if he didn't? And, why would you two be kissing if he didn't? Sounds to me like he was trying to be playful with you when he teased you with the "I'm going to kiss you...not now" routine. That may have been a little hard to know what exactly he was doing, but my guess is that he was trying to be sexy and get you really wanting a kiss from him. If you'll notice, this is done sometimes with TV characters. The teasing is supposed to make the other party desire the teaser more. OK, maybe he went a little far with this, but I doubt that he was teasing you because he doesn't like you! Seems like just the opposite. But hang tight and see what happens when you're with him again. You say that you'd like to go out with him. Aren't you doing that already? If you're not really on dates when you guys are doing all this kissing, you might want to consider slowing things down a bit and backing off of this intimacy until you know where this relationship is going. Please don't let it go further than this at this point. I think you'd become more confused than you are now. If you have trust issues, then follow your instincts and play it a little cooler. You don't have to be totally unavailable just because you have trust issues - you SHOULDN'T allow yourself to be unavailable because we ALL have been burned at one time or another. My advice to protect yourself is to just go easy, don't rush into anything, and don't be so willing to put yourself completely "out there" to be hurt. I wish you lots of good luck with this guy!
