He told me that he has a girlfriend but he doesn't


Question Posted Sunday January 4 2009, 3:29 am

okay there's this guy that i liked since last year May he was in my english class. Before i started liking this guy, i would notice that he would stare at me all the time in class..then i eventually started liking him and i told him on msn that i liked him. He didn't believe me at first then i asked him: do you think i'm joking? then he said: i dunno, but i don't want to waste your time b/c i have a g/f. So i said ok, but i noticed that even after he told me that, he would still stare at me and sometimes look away. i asked around and they said that they don't think he has a g.f. so tonight i was talking to an old friend of mine and it turns out that my friend knows the guy i like so i told him that i wanted him to be my prom date and i asked him not to tell him b/c he told me hehad a girlfriend...so my friend said: wth? he doesn't have a girlfriend...so he lied to me! what does this mean?

Yeah it deffinetly sounds like he likes you. Maybe it's not a good idea to ask him on MSN all the time. Actually talk to him in person or at least on the phone. He is probably really self concious and doesn't know how to act around girls. Hope I helped.

It means he doesn't have experience with girls.
He still stares at you because he probably likes you and is now thinking about what you told him on MSN all the time. (Trust me, I know a lot of socially awkward nerds I always give advice to)

Maybe in a week or so, you should message him again and say..."If your girlfriend doesn't mind, would you like to go to prom with me, I heard that's one thing you shouldn't miss." That gives him a way to chicken out and you are still aware of what he told you. It's a lot less pressure on someone who is "supposed" to do the asking.

See how that works.

might just be trying to make you jealous, or he feels insecure and wants to make himself look a little more cool

maybe it was a test, so see if you would still try after him, knowing he was taken. or maybe he dumped her when he found out you liked him, or just got into a fight with her and dumped her period. just flat out ask him something that would corner him into telling you the truth. like, start with "so i hear your girlfriend is pretty nice, whats she like?" and go on from there. or ask him to go on a double date with you and a friend. or just straight out say "do you REALLY have a girlfriend or are you lying, cuz ive heard rumors."

maybe hes just one of those guys you shouldnt bother to waste your time with. since your not exacly IN LOVE with him, it should be pretty easy to move on. i hope it all works out. :)

don't know how much i can help, but i can tell you a lot of guys in high school seem to kind of freak when you tell them things straight. before you told him anything, he probably never considered that you liked him, even if he may have liked you. the fact that he denied it was natural because, again, he'd probably never even thought of it before. so when he realized you were for real, that's probably why he said he had a gf. he needed time to consider whether or not that would actually work because you'd thought about it and he hadn't. now, since he's still staring at you, he's probably thinking (a) that he really screwed up or (b) that he's gonna role with this whole girlfriend thing because he can't see you two going out. (ok, there's like a 2% chance that he actually does have a gf that no one knows about, but it's doubtful.)
if you want to go to prom, i suggest for now you find a plan b, another guy, a friend, a group of friends, because if you approach him right now, he seems like the kind of guy to freak again. try not to stare at him, even if he stares at you, because chances are that will freak him out to. basically the guy sounds jumpy. let him figure out how great you are on his own, and maybe he'll come to yo. let things run their course. and if they don't turn out as you hoped, it's ok. the guy told you he had a gf as soon as you said you liked him, so chances are he needs more experience anyway. just my opinion, based on experience. hope that helps.
