she made him not like relationships


Question Posted Monday October 22 2007, 5:16 pm

i like this kid a lot and whenever we talk he always says something and it's exactly what i'm thinking. we have a lot of the same opinions on things. he's not really "my type" and my parents wouldn't like him but i don't care. ok here's the problem though. his ex-girlfriend cheated on him and now he wants to be single for a while. they went out for like 4 or 5 months and they broke up at the begining of the summer. i really like him and i want to show him that i'm worth trying a relationship for because all of my past relationships have lasted more than 6 months. how do i do this?

There's truly only 2 things you can actually do:

One being is waiting. If you continue to hang out with him and be his friend, then he might soon notice you as a girlfriend. Waiting really sucks, but I don't know if you'd be comfortable with two.

Two is telling him exactly what you stated. That he might have been burned in the past but you really like him and want a chance.

Or you could hint around. Slip in comments like, "I'm very faithful, cheaters are just scum" or something along those lines. But honestly, you can't make a guy want you, it just has to happen on it's own. You put yourself out there and hope they'll like you back and if he's wanting to be single, you should make it to where you are 100% as his friend and not spending 95% of the time his friend and the other 5 pushing him into a relationship.

If he knows you are 100% ok with being his friend and making him comfortable, he'll be more likely to notice you.

You can let him know how you feel, but I wouldn't exactly expect anything to happen. Once someone gets cheated on, their trust in new relationships is nearly gone & it'll take them a while to get back on their feet.


Tell him & if he likes you back, wait until he's ready to start dating again. If he doesn't, accept it & move on.

Let him know you're interested in him. Just let your friends know you think he's cute or whatever and let the gossip flow back to him so he just think it's a crush. You don't want to come on too strong because he's needing space right now. If you think he's worth the wait, then wait for him. I got out of a serious relationship and then rushed into another relationship too soon and so I was never too passionate over my new girlfriend. If he needs space, give him some, and let him know you're still there for him if he needs you. But don't be upset with if his reaction is negative because if he knows he's made you unhappy than that's just going to make him more closed up.
