if actions speak louder then words... what's he trying to sa
Question Posted Thursday February 8 2007, 10:23 pm
i was wondering if actions always speak louder then words. you see there is this guy, i talk to him more often then i see him, and when i talk to him, he's really sweet, he says that he loves me, so on and so forth. My dilemma is that when i see him somewhere public, like school, he acts like he doesn't want to be around me, or get to know me; but when i see him somewhere that's a little more privet he's sweet and carries on about how much he loves me, and thinks we should date. how should i take this? why is he doing it? and how can i get him to always act sweet?

I second Sabine's answer, and I would probably lean more towards option 1, unfortunately. If he really did like you, he wouldn't try to avoid you in public, he just might not show you as much affection as he does in private. If he's acting sweet, and coming on relatively stong in private, he probably just wants to use you.
Please be careful not to let him manipulate you.
Good luck for option 2 ^_^

1) I really don't like you, but if I can be sneaky about it and get what I want from you, I'll use you.
or
2) I really do like you, but I have to act tough and not let anyone know or I'll lose my reputation.
Either way, he's either immature or not to be trusted. I suggest that you point out his pattern of behavior, accept no denials, and let him know that either you're together in public as well as in private or you're not together at all.
