The boy I talk to only came over my house once and we only just talk on the phone. A few things that he do that I don't like is when he see me he just say hi or not and that would be it for the whole day until he calls me after school. But another thing is that all his friends call me his name when they see me and they know we talk and everybody in school know. But why is it that he don't act like he want to be around when all his friends stop and talk to me and always hang around me. Everynight when we talk he acts like he cares so much and like I never ask him to come over or to go out. I hate when it seems like he just want to hang out with his friends out of school, just ride dirt bikes and whatever else he be doing. When I asked him why he treat me this way he said, "That's because I really like you". I don't understand why he treats me this way like I'm not even there but just walking right by me. But I realized he will want to be around and want to talk to me when all his friends around. So what why do he act this way and what should I do?

Either he is embarassed to show everyone he really likes you for fear of rejection by his peers, or he is just using you. Now usually this means he is just using you. This happened to a friend of mine. She loved this guy to death. He was a Senior at the time and she was a sophomore. He would totally not talk to her in school or around his friends, but after school he would hang out with her and talk with her non-stop. This continued for a month and then they ended up having sex. He later completely stopped talking to her and ignored her. She was so hurt and learned later that he was always talking bad about her to his friends, and his friends, who always acted nice to her, would talk bad about her too. So she got over him and moved on. And turns out a year later he tried to get her back, but she was already over him and had the strength to move on. In my opinion, kick him to the curb. If he really liked you he wouldnt be afraid to be seen talking to you in public with his friends and peers around. That shows he is secretive, manipulative, and up to something. And you dont deserve to be treated like that! [ LiLReBeL6907's advice column | Ask LiLReBeL6907 A Question ]

1] Telling girls they like them.
2] Showing them they like them.
3] Knowing the difference between flirting and being a jerk.
Basically... whatever. Haha.
You like this guy. He told you straight up that he likes you. I'd suggest asking HIM out, because it seems like he'll never grow the balls to do it himself. And I promise you, if you guys start going out, he'll treat you differently.
lbwhite89 answered Saturday May 19 2007, 10:23 pm: Well it sounds to me like he has some issues. It's plain rude and immature to basically ignore you in school around other people but talk to you all nice on the phone. There are pretty much two solutions:
1) Forget about him. That's a real asshole thing to do, and you deserve better.
2) Talk to him about it. Tell him that you feel like crap when he does that...like he's embarrassed of you or something, and see what he says.
stephandjess answered Saturday May 19 2007, 1:15 pm: It shows that he just really likes you.. some guys do that when they like a girl because they are either shy in person, or they just dont want their friends really knowing how much they like you. I think y ou should just keep talking to him and eventually he will become more comftorable talking to you in person around his friends and he wont care as much, and dont worry if you go out with him he will make time to hang out with you alone and even with his friends because trust me he will want to be with you if he likes you as much as he seems to. A lot of guys just dont want their friends seeing their sensitive side to them thats why on the phone he shows how much he cares about you becuase he doesnt have to hide anything but around his friends he hides it because he jsut wants to look tough . Dont worry though he wil grow out of this give him time [ stephandjess's advice column | Ask stephandjess A Question ]
john423mb answered Saturday May 19 2007, 1:08 pm: he probally wants to be a big shot around the boys and if he doesn't talk to you till after school i wouldn't talk to him at all if he really likes you he will be the bigger man and talk to you in school and out.
