Question Posted Wednesday January 12 2005, 3:40 am
Okay this is a long story so here it goes. A few months ago, I recently developed feelings for one of my guy friends. One night, it was revealed to him. At first I couldn't believe he knew, but now I regret the whole thing. After I told him I liked him, things looked like they were going pretty good. Me and him began flirting more than usual and he would say things that made me believe we had a possible future together. The only problem with him is, he tends to flirt with a lot of girls which surprisingly I'm okay with but several weeks have gone by and he hasn't asked me out and now I just want to forget about him. Plus I don't think he's completely over his ex-girlfriend and friends of mine have been telling me who he's been flirting with heavily and the girl he flirts with, is a good friend of mine and she knew I liked him. I guess my question is, why would he tell me it's okay to like him and that he said he was going to ask me out soon if truly in the end, he only liked me as a friend.

Hope I helped!

He could have told you that it was okay to like him because he liked the fact that you liked him. Alot of people like when other people like them and will do anything to keep that up. Thats one reason. Maybe another reason is because originally he was considering being more with you, but after he realized the friendship you two shared, maybe he didn't want to ruin it if you two did date and then broke up. That is another possiblility. If you really want to get over him, i won't lie, it takes time. But if you really want to get over him, try starting to like someone knew...maybe the new person will help you forget about the old person.
If you feel comfortable with it, i think you should talk to him about it. Ask him about it. You can't go wrong with asking him. If he's really your friend, he won't mind you asking about it. Well i hope i helped! [ PerfectPixie's advice column | Ask PerfectPixie A Question ]
