A guy problem


Question Posted Saturday February 21 2004, 11:51 pm

I have this friend. Well, he's not exactly my friend, but we hang out at school and stuff. Awhile back, I used to like him and I told some people. One day, someone told him. Then he started avoiding me. Now he's talking to me, like all the time. He always wants my advice on something and always sticks up for me. Does anyone know why he's acting like this?

Thanks!

I bet he either likes you, or at least wants to get to know the person who likes him.(you)
A lot of boys at first avoid the girls when they find out if a girl likes them because they don't want the girls to think that they like girls if they only do something simple like say hi to them. That happens A LOT. In my old school, I like this kid named *Gary* and we were really good friends and we would always have fun playing jokes on eachother and stuff, but when he found out he immediately avoided me. Eventually he came around and was his regular-self again, although really nothing was the same.
That also happened with this other kid I liked a few years later, and he didn't really AVOID me, he just was a little different than before, nothing dramatically changed or anything though.

And to tell you the truth, when somebody finds out you like them, they act weird because it's just awkward if you don't feel the same way about the person. That's like when I find out somebody likes me or something, I kind of walk away from them, but then after evetually all the awkward-ness dies down (and even if I don't feel the same way about them), I go back to my regualr self around them.

Do you get what I mean?..I have no clue if this is making any sense to you. And I'm kind of out of it because I'm kind of in the same situation...both ways around. I don't know...I just hope I helped...

He obviously likes you and has respect for you if is asking for your advice and sticks up for you. I am sure at first he was avoiding you because he was scared and confused. Relationships at that age are so scary and new, he didn't know how to react. If you still like him, you should ask him out, the worst he can say is no. It sounds like you could at least be good friends. I wish you both luck!

He was scared. But now he probably you don't have feelings for him, or maybe he has feelings for you. Ask him what's going on. Why all of a sudden he's with you again after avoiding you.

WELL...
When he heard that you liked him he probly got scared because he didn't like you "That Way" and so he avoided you.
He probly grew up a little and realized that he was acting way stupid. And so now he may be trying to fix how he acted and he could possibly "Like You" like you. One more thing, taking your side on things is sorta a big sign that he likes you.
One things for sure guys are weird! they send you mixed feelings. Trust me! they act like they like you but then act like they don't.
You may never know until you hear it from his mouth and his mouth only.
I hoped this helped! *HUG*

alpha answered Sunday February 22 2004, 6:05 pm:
Two possibilities. The first is the obvious one: he likes you. The second one is that he thinks you're cool, but doesn't like you "that way," and so he started avoiding you when he heard you liked him because he didn't know how to handle it... but now he feels stupid about acting like that, and is trying hard to show you that he still wants to be friends.

But you know what? These are just guesses, and you're never going to know for sure by trying to read his mind. If you're still interested in him, ask him out; if not, just enjoy your new friendship.

Hey,
This guy sounds like he's acting in the way you've described because he likes you. You said someone told him that you liked him, and maybe he was too shy to tell you that he liked you back. I think you should talk to him about it, so at least you both know how each other feels and everything is out in the open. Good luck :)

with guys, relationships can seem like traps, especially with people they know and even more so with people they dont't know. in your case, this guy was probably shocked and not sure how to handle the fact that someone he chilled with liked him. then once he get used to the idea, he wanted to try to see where this would go. in truth, all guys have that one female friend or acquaintance that they would love to have some type of relationship with. you may be his secret love.

Hey! You know what? I had this problem before. A lot of people told me they thought the guy liked me. I never asked him if he did, because at the time I wasn't interested. But, if you are, I say talk to him about it. Cause, it sounds like he likes you. Good luck.
