Question Posted Thursday October 26 2006, 10:56 pm
I really like this friend, and i'm sure he knows. We are both in relationships. He kissed me one day(at a party) and we haven't seen each other since. We still chat sometimes by emails, but never talked about why he kissed me that night.
I'm going to see him in couple days for a mutul friend's event, and I know he will ignore me(from how I understand/know him), and then I know i will fell so upset about it. HOWEVER, I really want to see him. What should I do to make myself feel better if he ignore me?
Additional info, added Thursday October 26 2006, 11:10 pm: We both are acting as nothing ever happened after the kiss. I do that, because still want to be friend with him, but why does he act as nothing happened?. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?

MelLeDisko answered Friday October 27 2006, 5:13 pm: The reason he is probably acted as though nothing happened, and is expecting you to do the same is because you both are in relationships. You basically both cheated on your others, and he might feel ashamed and guilty about it happening.
Also, if you guys weren't in relationships whenever this kiss was shared, then maybe he just might be plain embarassed. He might think you don't like him back, or you're shocked that he did it or something, and he just wants to pretend it never happened.
But the point is, that you two kissed, which shows you to both were liking eachother alot at the party, and both may still possibly like eachother, which might explain why he's ignoring you. He might be afraid he'll kiss you again, hence once more ( or for the first time ) cheating on his other, which would result in once again, the ashamed and guilty feelings.
So seeing as you two probably have feelings for eachother, even though he's ignoring you, why keep letting him do it? I would go up to him at the party, and stand infront of him so he can't walk away. If he does, grab his arm or something and tell him you NEED to talk to him about what happened between you guys that night. And just talk to him about it, and explain your feelings to him. Let him know you're really liking him, and you don't know if he feels the same, but if he does, obviously that kiss meant something for the both of you. And just see what happens. Hopefully, he'll like you back ( which I'm sure he does obviously! ) and you two'll get togehter, or even if he doesn't anymore, then just at least you kno why he was acting so strangley and everything straightened out, and you two can still remain good friends. Better friends then nothing, right?

He maybe acted that way, so that it wouldn't make it any more awkward for the both of you.
Maybe, it was more than just a kiss. To him.
And he's trying to deny his feelings for you, but acting like nothing happened. Anywyas, both of you are attached(tsk tsk tsk..very naughty.)
So there isn't really much of a choice but to act like nothing happened.
Here is another way to look at it.
He kissed you. Probably drunk or horny.
Just was in the moment.
Woke up next day, regrets it.
Afraid that you might tell his girlfriend.
Act like nothing happened.
Story closed. :)
Not really a nice story, but this is life afterall.

I don't think you need be ignored though. Why let him? Just go right over to him and start talking as if nothing happened. See how he reacts. Maybe he thought you didn't like the kiss or something. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
