i have a guy friend who was definitely in to me at some point. he called me every night, and we talked on the phone for hours at a time -- sometimes until seven in the morning. we never ran out of things to say, and if we did, the silence wasn't awkward for us. i told him many times that i didn't want a boyfriend, and wasn't interested in any one at that time. when he kept asking about it, i told him maybe there was one guy i sort of liked, but i know he was positive it wasn't him. (even though it was) basically, i played hard to get to the highest degree possible, but it turned out wrong for me. i made it seem like i didn't like him at all, maybe not even want to be his friend. now he has a girlfriend, and i don't know what to do. he's in love with her, and i don't think anything we ever had would compare. i don't know how to let him know i liked him, was more into him than he thought, that he has a chance, but i don't even know if him and his girlfriend will ever break up. she has so much more to offer him than me. what should i do?

BitsandPieces answered Tuesday August 15 2006, 2:29 pm: Slow down hard to get! I can hear the desperation in you, and that is never an attractive quality. Take a deep breath and learn your lesson. Is he now playing hard to get? Probably he just moved on. While it is true that guys love the chase, they are simple creatures who will chase a new toy if the present one keeps playing TOO hard to get. Is it the smartest thing to now go and tell him about your foolish failed act to trap him and reveal your desperation? I think you should realize that instead of telling HIM he still has a chance, you need to accept the fact that you may have lost yours. I don't know if his girlfriend ever had more to offer him than you, accept maybe honesty. In the future, know that you don't have to show someone all your cards, but you do have to let them know you are in the game! [ BitsandPieces's advice column | Ask BitsandPieces A Question ]
