Okay, well i met this guy that i didn't know at a party and he told my friend he thought i was cute. So we exchanged numbers through our friends and we texted eachother as friends for about 2 weeks. Then eventually started "talking." We talked for about a week and then he asked me if we could just be friends because he has to get a job and he said he had a lot going on right now. Why would he want to start "talking" to me for just a week and then go back to being friends? Also, do you think he still likes me even though he just wants to be friends right now? I don't really know his situation but he said that he has to get a job and it sounded like he had some stuff going on. I don't really know what this means. I don't know if he likes me or not. Now, we just text eachother as friends but not like the flirty messages we sometimes send. Thanks!

In my opinion, it kind of sounds like he dosen't want/can't handle a relationship at the moment. Having a job as a teen is pretty stressful, and that on top of 'having a lot going on' makes having a girlfriend pretty stressful. Realize that's a huge commitment, and that it would complicate things quite a bit for him; Don't take it personally.
It's always possible that he still likes you, but just a warning: Getting close over text is sometimes kinda unreliable. Crushes formed over kinda indirect communication are usually kinda fickle, and seem really awesome and then just kind of fade. I wouldn't get too too committed to this if you're not hanging out much in person, who knows what else he could be doing with other girls in person? Not saying that's the certain thing, just a possibility.
It's good to continue texting as friends. If you feel like you like him, continue this for now, and try to hang out in person some time, to see if the chemistry's there. That way, you can be sure he's not too busy to talk, and you can see the real sides of each other. Give it a little time and see how it all works out. :D
In the meantime, feel free to talk to other guys and everything! You're not tied down, so get yourself out there. (:

He may call you or text you in a few weeks though asking to "hang out" but he really just wants a makeout session. Go out and meet other guys! Don't let this guy get in the way of your happiness this summer. Hope I helped :] [ lalapeep's advice column | Ask lalapeep A Question ]
jealousyxo answered Monday August 4 2008, 10:48 am: Same thing happened to me.He basically just wants stuff out of you (you know what i mean) kind of like the love'em and leave'em type of deal.In my opinion,i think that he knows that if he ever asks you to hang out or "do stuff" you'll jump at the chance to say yes which he wants.So in a way he still kind of likes you but not in the way you think it is.I would just forget about the guy,he's using you and used the whole "alot is going on right now" excuse,don't fall for it.Your still young,there's plenty of other fish in the sea trust me :)
