VainTaraLynn answered Saturday August 13 2005, 12:39 am: There is no real answer as to why guys do this. Some may lie because they are insecure about themselves and have to have the security of knowing that alot of girls want them. Some do it because they are unsure of their feelings so they go around and say it to the first girl that strikes their interest. Third. Some guys may also do it because they just enjoy being nice.
By the sounds of things, I think hes insecure about himself, and has a self esteem issue so he has to go out with every girl he sees, and have them accept him, so that he can feel better about himself, knowing hes had alot of girlfriends.

X_Amanda_X answered Thursday August 11 2005, 8:15 pm: They do this because they want to get in your pants. Guys just aren't as sensitive. They will do anything to get what they want and then they leave without knowing how hurt you are.
As for your friend, he might say that in meaning that he loves you as a friend.
SoInToYoUx0x answered Thursday August 11 2005, 7:56 pm: a guy lies because he basically know how to get a girls hearta and then get what he wants from a girl which is usualy sex and then leaves not giveing a crap.. that is just how MOST guys are.i personaly think your case he just might love you as a friend and cares about you. i dont think it si because he wants to be with you he just has strong feelings for and might think of you as his sister.. hope this helps you out.

artistegirly answered Thursday August 11 2005, 7:53 pm: Hahaha - good question! Guys lie because most of the time they only care about what they want! Apparently in their theory, lying is okay...as long as the concequences aren't too harsh.
But in your case, If this is only a friend your talking abould and he's not actually hinting that he likes you, then I would say he really means it. I have guy friends who tell my they love me all the time and I luv them back! real friends are forverver, boyfriends are whatever!
enjoy_the_silence answered Thursday August 11 2005, 7:43 pm: i'm not a guy but i think i can help answer your question. most guys know how emotional and sensitive most girls are. that's normal, its what makes being a girl great. some guys however, take advantage of that fact to benefit for his own needs. if he knows you like him and he has you on a string, he could tell you the sky was green and you'd probably follow him. that's basically where the phrase "love is blinding" comes from. another reason is that guys know the wrath of a woman is mighty, and they might just lie to make you feel better. he's thinking, "do you really want me to tell you those pants make you look fat?" in the case of your guy friend, it seems as if he's telling you he loves you to win you over; to "blind you" so that if he does something wrong, you'll be too busy caring about him to notice. i suggest you try to screen him out with "mental shades" until you feel he's ready to tell the truth. good luck!

xXxpinky615xXx answered Thursday August 11 2005, 7:42 pm: I like I might have answered your question before... but again I'll say it. 97% of guys are assholes. It's just part of their nature. Out of the 7 guys I dated, 5 of them cheated on me. They are assholes, they get bored easily and want some fresh ASS. They lie because that's the only thing they know how to do. Men are ASSHOLES... most of them anyway. But as for your friend, when he says he LOVES you, he doesn't mean he's IN love with you. He just loves you as a friend. I tell all my friends, guys AND girls that I love them. I'm not lying about it though. I do love my friends. He probably means it that way.
