I'm a girl, and here's my situation... Okay, I like someone, but he all ready told me he just wanted to be friends. Later, he didn't talk to me for a long time, and got a girlfriend. I dunno what it means when he says that he just wants to be friends, and then he all of a sudden doesn't talk anymore to me, and only gives me a slight head nod when I say hi; no more high-fives or anything. I mean, he seems like the same guy, but he acts so different around me. Recently he broke up with his girlfriend, and I'm not so positive if he's going to act that way around me still. I really love this guy, but I'm just getting unsure of what he's doing. He's not the shy type I don't think, and I dunno how I can approach him with this kinda stuff. He probably knows I like him, still.

ScaperJess answered Monday May 9 2005, 12:47 pm: Ok, basically you have to understand that "I just want to be friends" is a glorified rejection to your advances. Most likely him saying that, did not mean, "ok you're my new best friend." or "I want to see you all the time." He was being nice in saying no to you... Him "disapearing" from you is not wrong or abnormal, its pretty common. The girlfriend had nothing to do with it, your intrest made him feel maybe a bit awkward in being around you so he probably avoids you to avoid the feeling. He's moving forward, and on with his life, and you'll just have to accept that he's not the one for you, if he was he'd be with you. If you really want to be his friend then well go out of your way to talk to him instead of noding back at him or saying "hi"... let it go, or make an effort don't ponder what went wrong...
