MODERNDURATION answered Monday March 19 2007, 5:55 pm:
Saddly guys can use girls to get to their friends. In this case he made it clear he was just using you to talk to see if your friend liked him. Honestly though if he acts like that towards you it shows what kind of person he is so possibly you might want to keep an eye on your friend and him because he could just toss her to the side when he is done with her. You should inform your friend about this conversation.
hope that helps,
Brittni

Well I don't really understand your guy's conversation but I will try my best.
To me it sounds like yes he was 'using' you.
Because one he found out your friend liked him he doesn't want to talk to you anymore, am I right?
I'm not sure what to tell you except to watch out for people like that.
I hope that helped :]

MW8305 answered Sunday March 18 2007, 1:26 am:
He just stated that your friendship is basicly over. By stating that your friendship is over because your friend likes someone else... He also implied that he was just using you to get closer to her. At least... That's how I interpret the message. So... Yeah... I think he was probably using you.

Unless he was joking. However... If he was... I'd think he would say something like, "Just kidding," afterwards and not just sign off right then. I think that was a little too abrupt to really be funny.

Anyway... If you find out later that he was joking. (Though I think that is unlikely...) You need to tell him that his little joke really hurt your feelings. And if he is your friend, he'll apologize.

If not... Don't sweat it. This guy sounds like a jerk with issues... You don't want to be friends with a jerk. Especially one with issues.

Though... Saying that... I know that it still doesn't make it easy... Or take away the hurt that you're probably feeling. As I have said before, there are no words to take away the pain. But remember that this will pass. You're a beautiful person, and I'm sure you're perfectly capable of making plenty of new friends.

Take care. ;)

Yes, he was definitely using you. He was only talking to you to get closer to her. He's not a real friend.

phatdopelove answered Saturday March 17 2007, 7:39 pm:
Sounds like to me all this guy was just trying to get some information about your friend from you,and you gave the info. Your girl friend does she like him back? If she doesn't, and him saying to you that "he only talks to you because of her" was that he's simply hurt and he doesn't need any more info. from you about her. Or simply if she does like him, he was just trying to get info about her from you. If you really didn't know him and you just started talking to him when he asked about you girlfriend then he was just trying to get info from you. People do that, they focus on the person they like and focus on the people they talk to, so they can find out what that person is like , or to find out who they like. Hope this helps, and sorry if this complicated ,let me know and sorry so long!

MAK answered Saturday March 17 2007, 7:35 pm:
i'm sorry to say, but yes he was using you. and what an @$$hole too. i think you should tell your friend what happened, because clearly the guy is very rude and not a very good person. just like he was using you, he could be using your friend for.... umm... things.

when you tell her though be as neutral as possible, or else she will think that you are saying this because you like him and want to steal him from her. if she thinks you are trying to steal him though (which i know you are not, im just talking about a possible situation that might occur), assure her that you are not, and that the disision is entirely up to her.


anyways good luck!!

darkside89 answered Saturday March 17 2007, 6:02 am:
So... Ur friend asked you to tell him that she likes someone else... Possibilities:
1) He's hurt that ur friend rejected him and doesnt wanna talk to anyone related to her.
2) He could only be talking to you because you were the only link between him and youre friend.
3) He naver really took you as a friend. Just a mediator.

I think he wasn't using you but he only talked to you in the first place because he wanted to know your friend and not you. You had no value in his life even for a second. If he doesn't wanna be your friend then it's okay because you have other friends, right? Just take care that you dont become a mediator for anyone again because at times you may end up hurting yourself.
Best of Luck sweetie, xxxxx DaRkSiDe89 xxxxxx

I can't believe this idiot! Yes, he was completly using you. Now is time for revenge. Tell him that the person likes him. Once he asks about it, Don't tell him anything. Say, "hmm I thought you had no need to talk to me? Next time you use someone, don't be such an ass about it."

I hope I helped!

Altruistic answered Friday March 16 2007, 12:26 am:
Wow. What. a. jerk.

If he's telling you that he's only talking to you because of your friend... then yeah he's using you. Which is utterly wrong and mean. He has no right to be friends with you only to get to your friend and then stop talking to you after finding out that she likes someone else. What an axxhole.
