Question Posted Saturday February 24 2007, 2:45 pm
hi, my name is SAM.female 14. i saw ur answers to some peoples questions. you give really good advise and i was wondering if u could maybe help me out?
ok so his names Jesse and hes the sweetest thing in the world(i know corny but yea) he flirts and hugs me leans on me puts his arm around me...so this means he likes me right? he knows i like him, i told him a while back, and ever since hes been even more flirty. but the problem is he was in this one relationship previously where his girlfriend was like to obsessed with him and he kinda got freaked out by it. like she was invading his personal space and he broke up with her because of it. Basically from what i can understand, Jesse likes me (or is confused about liking me) because he doesnt want the whole situation to be repeated. he said he has commitment issues which means he doesnt want a relationship right now...but again he said he doesnt like me. it was pretty strait forward too. and it really hurt me. i dont wanna be dramatic or anything so our friendship hasnt changed at all, i mean he still flirts and jokes around and everything. hes just so great and ive never had a boyfriend anymore i wish it could be him but it might not work. Ive talked to him about it since then and he says that he doesnt like anyone.we often talk about it and then he'll say that love is stupid or something like that....and he jokes around about being mean and then i usually agree with him. if only he would just tell me the truth and asking him will not help ive tried. his best friend told me that she can not tell me too much because she swore to keep it a secret.he doesnt want her to tell me. but she said hes confused for many reasons. and i am confused about what to do and it sometimes seems like he is just leading me on.....thank you so much =)

O.k. it sounds like your friend really does have commitement issues, what he told you in the first place. So now he just told you that he doesn't like you so he wouldn't have to be faced with the question he's afraid you'll ask him. Deep down it seems as if he really likes you but he's afraid to tell you this because he's probably not sure if you guys going out will mess things up. So he told you he didn't like you so maybe you wouldn't bring it up but that was just a cover up. If he's still flirting and making jokes then I really think he still likes you but he doesn't want it to turn into anything yet. He's just really confused about what to do so he's putting it off. What I would do is write him a really long letter telling him how you feel. So he doesn't get freaked out that your friendship will end explain that no matter what happens you guys can still remain friends. Tell him how it really hurt you when he said he didn't like you because you love him so much. Just say that you seriously think this could be true love and I think it might really hit him. I suggested a letter because saying all of this in person is really hard because often times people don't listen and this might be the best way you can get through to him. You can also add in the letter that he can write one back if it's easier. I think this might really work. If he still is hesitant he's still afraid about ruining your friendship. Just convince him that your friendship could be so much more and I think this will really help. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)
