I'm starting to develop really strong feelings for him
Question Posted Tuesday July 20 2004, 9:23 am
Theres this guy..lets call him fred. Fred and I went out a lot and his friends don't like me at all and neither did his ex g/f's so we broke up. We stayed friends and then towards the end of the school year we seemed to drift apart. Just recently we started talking on the phone again (like for 2 hours at a time!) and I'm starting to develop really strong feelings for him again. When I tell him...he doesn't take me seriously anymore and tells me he loves me even though I know he doesn't really mean it the way I do. What do I do??

Well try to work that out and same with fred and your friend have them work that out its silly to hate someone forever.. its understandable to be mad for awhile depending on what it was but its time to move on and get over it just talk to fred about it though when you 2 are talking about that sort of topic-trix [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]

Some how bring this into the conversation and tell him that you really like him again and would like to be exclusive...if he laughs and still doesn't take it seriously then forget him n stop talking to him. If your friends can't except him..do you really think he's that good of a guy?? [ QTPNic's advice column | Ask QTPNic A Question ]

I think you should tell him that you don't like when he says I love you and isn't serious. Say (bluntly) that it bothers you that he jokes around about loving you when you really do care for him a lot. Its his response to this that matters. If he says 'I don't mean it to be a joke' then he obviously really does care about you and you misjudged his intentions OR he might say 'I'm sorry I won't say it anymore' or 'I'm sorry I never realized that bothered you'. If he says either of the last two then, he might not be interested in you anymore and you might have to move on. Theres no reason you cant be friends and its possible that the guy is a little confused right now. If hes confused, he might need some more time talking to you before he can decide what he feels. Tell him the truth about how what he says makes you feel but keep talking to him as a friend. [ FernGully's advice column | Ask FernGully A Question ]
