I am no longer giving advice on Advicenators, and have requested that my account be deleted.

I am now giving advice on Askville as ->Peter

If you're looking for good advice here, I suggest you ask YoungGrandma. She's the best.

I don't expect to be checking in on this site again, so if you want to ask me something, see you on Askville!

Good luck!

Generally, when a guy says that he "doesn't date anymore" or is "putting off dating for a while", if he meets a girl that he likes, will he go for it or not?


He said that the reason for that is his last girlfriend screwed him over big time and most girls that live around here think they have to spread their legs to get attention and he isn't into that. He's 17


I'd prefer a guy's opinion. (link)
It means he's putting up a pretty high barrier to dating, at least for the moment. Or, to be honest, it could mean that he just didn't want to date you and is trying to be nice about it.

If it's the first meaning, then he's being uncommonly decent. And it's certainly possible that he'll come around; at 17, that wouldn't be surprising. Male hormones at 17 are amazingly powerful. If you give him time, as little pressure as possible, and show him that he can trust you, that should certainly increase the chance that he'll feel able to date you - if he wants to.

I will say that in my experience a guy who has been really badly burned by a bad relationship can take many years before he gets over it and trusts women again. And he may NEVER be able to trust completely.

With marriage, it's even worse.

Good luck!

I would think that it was just an excuse not to date me but he didn't tell me this, I over heard him telling our English teacher. So I don't know if I should try to go for it or if I'm wasting my time.
