is he shy?


Question Posted Saturday June 23 2007, 6:57 pm

okay so this kid named jon who i am friends with kept telling me over aim that he liked me, blah blah, but i didnt like him. i told him that, and was really sad. obviously i felt bad so i waslike 'it's ok we can be best friends!!' and he waslike 'do best friends ever hook up ?" and i just laughed it off and told him it depended on who it was. but probably not in this case.

we've flirted for a while and i realize that i really do like him. the last time he told me he liked was was two days before i told him that i liked him back. now when we talk its like REALLY akward and i feel like we talk about nothing...like "hey how are you good, you?" but we dont ever talk about how i said i liked him back...and i dont know why.

i was thinking he was shy or something but if he is then why did he so willingly tell me how much he liked me before i told him back?

thanks for whatever advice you have

He is obviously not shy. If he were shy he would never have had the courage even over the Internet to tell you how he felt the first time. That's something that takes a lot of courage in some people to do.

I think he is confused. You told him you wanted to be friends and nothing more and turned him down. Now, you have reversed that and told him you like him and he's not sure how to handle it.

He may even feel snubbed that you told him no the first time and now you want to be with him. He might not want to give you a chance because of this and that he fears or doesn't want to get hurt by you again.

He may have flirted with you for awhile but ultimately has backed off. You should talk to him about this face-to-face in a quiet spot and explain that as you got to know him you realized you genuinely like him and find him to be a great catch and are not BSing him there. Tell him you need to know where you stand.

This is the only way to move beyond the awkwardness with him and figure out if you ar friends, something more or nothing at all. You have to talk to him and leave it in his court to decide what he wants. He's probably just scared and needs reassurance he's not going to be hurt.
