In the last week or so, my one guy friend started flirting with me. And on Friday he sat with me and my friend at lunch. He sat by me and kept flirting by me, but I wasn't really thinking of it as flirting cause I didn't think he liked me. Turns out that night when we were IMing each other I said something like who do you think I should go out with and he said me. And i was just like...? And he was like you know I'm serious didn't you notice me flirting with you at lunch today. Then he asked me out and I said yes. Like an hour later he IMs me right when I came back from being away and said hey (my name) i was thinking and I like another girl too. And I don't wanna be going out with you when I like another girl too. So sorry but i guess its over. Does anyone have any idea why he did that in the first place? Or if it was just a joke? Or what?

I have a friend that I IM with, and he told me that he had a new girlfriend that his parents loved, then fifteen minutes later he asked me to turn on my webcam, which always got me nervous because he could be a little... perverted. So I refused, and he kept urging me until I blew up and screamed at him about personal privacy and sexual abuse. He finally calmed me down and told me that I didn't have to do it, and I asked him about his girlfriend and what she would do. He told me that he had made her up to make me jealous. Of couse, I got mad at him again, but this isn't the point. He could be making this girl up to make you jealous and to test if you would get angry or upset. He might not be assured that you really want to go out with him. Boys are, after all, really weird in these situations! See if he ever mentions this girl again. If he does, then ask who the lucky one is. You should get a good answer, and not just some cheesy name if she's real!!! [ Chewshi's advice column | Ask Chewshi A Question ]

You are in different grades which can be scary for him and he may also be scared to lose you as a friend or worried about being teased about dating someone right now. I don't think it was a joke so don't worry about that. My advice, play it cool. Don't call or IM him but be nice and talk to him if you see him. Let him contact you first. He'll realize what's he's missing and in the mean time you can also maybe find someone grown up enough to like you back the right way. :) good luck. [ Ivy921's advice column | Ask Ivy921 A Question ]

He is so confused because he is experiencing things that he never did before that he doesn't know how to handle it. You just just lay low and aim for guys your age or older because younger guys is not gonna acut it for you. [ Lyfe8allbad's advice column | Ask Lyfe8allbad A Question ]
mystical_breeze answered Saturday October 8 2005, 5:05 pm: Well he probably is afraid that if he likes to girls, he might want to cheat on you, so it's good he told you the truth about liking another girl. You could've found out another way, which would be him cheating on you, so I'm glad he told you before you actually went out. I don't think this was a joke, because a guy wouldn't do that unless he wanted a reputation as a jackass. Tell him how you feel about this, and see what he says. <3 [ mystical_breeze's advice column | Ask mystical_breeze A Question ]
