Do Have I Have A Cat In Hell's Chance Of Getting Together Wi


Question Posted Friday October 7 2005, 4:18 pm

I am a secondary school student (15 yrs old, female and have been in love with a boy that I know for just over 3 yrs.
Usually we get along really well, though he treats me as nothing more than a good friend.
I am extremely confused, as everytime I get an indication that he thinks of me as more than a friend he will do something unexpected and nasty afterwards, like making a really harsh/cutting comment in front of a group.
He has heard rumours in the past that I fancied him but he has remained a very good friend.
I can be quite insecure sometimes and I wonder if it's my lack of self confidence which is making me confuse his signals (is he giving me the green light?) or whether the fact I adore him is making me read more into his body language. Or his he just sending mixed signals?
Please help! Thanks, UrsulaX

Seeing how your experience relates to some situations that I have seen before, I think it's safe to say the boy is pretty confused.
He starts warming up to you but when he realizes what he's doing, he makes a harsh comment to distance you again.
I think you should start dropping hints and seeing how he reacts to them.
If he has been friend with you for three years, chances are he's having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that you mean more to him. If you're a pretty close female friend, he probably doesn't want to "ruin it". Guys do that many times because intimate platonic opposite-sex friends are pretty hard to find and they often mean more to them than girlfriends and sex (as hard as it seems to believe).

It could be very possible he is sending mixed signals which confuse you but you have to figure them out like solving a puzzle you have to put the pieces that fit together just right.He is probably hiding his feelings towards you,wants you to find out or he just thinks of you as a special friend.What I suggest you do is find out who are his other friends like guys,be friends with one of them,you should then ask what your friend of 3 yrs.saids about you,if he likes you, tell him not to tell him about this to just keep it between you,and him.Then you will get out of those mixed signals.

Well think hes sending you mixed signals. Because if he sounds like he likes you more than a friend and then doing somthing really nasty afterwards either he lkes you and he doesnt want to be in a relationship or he doesnt know how he feels about you.

If he treats you like a good friend..thats all he thinks of you as. I'd move on.
