Question Posted Wednesday October 19 2005, 7:33 am
Alright, Me and this guy were talking a lot and he told me he loved me and all that jazz. Then he started getting mad at me over stupid things and once I would explain myself he would be like alright. Then we got in this huge fight. And fought for a week. Then just yesterday he IMed me out of the blue. He said that he wanted to try the friends thing for now. I really like this kid, If I don't love him. I don't know what to do. He's always flirting with other girls and everything and I'm just like...wow. I really want to go out with him. But I know he would say no. I just wish he would like me.
I mean whenever he said he wanted to try the just friends thing for now part he sent me this poem/letter he wrote during the week we were mad at eachother and it made me cry. It basically said that he will always care about me and that sometimes he's stupid about things and wishes I would just over look them.
I really don't know what to do. I'm so confused. I just want him to like me..Wow...Please help me.

Maybe he is just going through something diffucult and he doesnt no any other way of handling it. If he flirts with other girls then thats not right. If a person truly likes someone they will do whatever in their power to keep them. I think that if you really like him then give him time he will come around i just think that you have to be patient enough to wait for him.

I know it's hard to get over somebody you really love or just really like. But if he says he loves you and plays mind games like that, you should just try to move on. I went through that for two years once, and it took me a year to move on again. It sucks to have your heart broken. It's hard to move on. But you'll be happier if you do. You can find somebody better. I know it's hard to believe, but trust me, it's possible.

P.S. Guys lie so much. I can see through every lie I've ever been told, and guys are the ones that lie the most. My mistake is I just let one lie to me. I tried to make myself believe that he really loved me and I really meant a lot to him but eventually I just gave up and couldn't take it anymore. [ xmariax's advice column | Ask xmariax A Question ]

And I know you have heard this a thousand times...most guys are jerks...It took me forever to find the boy I'm with now...try bringing up the subject to him...if he told you he loved you than he'd be willing to talk about it.

First of all, i have to ask you if you really are sure that this is the right time to broach the subject with you have to have a secure
relationship in place first. This is for you to have something to fall back upon in case the feelings are not mutual.I had a friend who was in a similar situation...Unfortunately, her friend didn't feel the same way, but they had a strong friendship going on to begin with, and they settled into it in the end when it wasn't meant for them to be a couple.I really can't tell you when is the right time to tell him..It is something that only you can feel..Unfortunately
though, there is no easy way to be direct with such emotions. You just have to be straight foreward and say it. They say, if you love someone then just say it right there out loud, otherwise the moment just passes by. So
seize the moment when you feel its the right time and tell him that you like him more than just a friend. Maybe before you tell him, you can test the waters somehow...If there is a mutual friend who can find out for you if he has deeper feelings for you or not. That would give you much more confidence when talking to him. And just remember that if it doesn't go the way you want it to, then maybe you are just meant to be
friends and that Mr. Right is still out there for you :)The best way for you to tell him is to simply be honest. We can't help the way we feel. Find a time when you can be alone with him. It may be best to do this face to face. Sit down and just tell him that you're beginning to like
him. Chances are, he may feel the same way about you.However, before you break the news to him, you might want to make sure that he'll be ready to accept it. Make sure you've got a secure friendship in place before you tell him. Most of all, you must feel comfortable telling him
about your feelings toward him. If you don't feel
comfortable doing it, then it may be better to wait a while. I sincerely hope that everything will turn out for the best.

Dont leave anything out.. Because he may have the same exact feelings for you. and is just too shy to tell you about them.. being afraid of being denied by you. I'm guessing because he wrote you poems and stuff he likes you as well.
You are probably better off staying friends for a little while.. Get to know each other better then what you do. Then go from there. But if you both like each other. In the end it will work..
urmomsachltcvrddnt answered Wednesday October 19 2005, 10:37 am: Talk to him!!! Ask him if he likes you. If he sent you that thing, then he probably does. Ask him out anyway. Don't get stressed about it.
