Convinced Me to Like Him


Question Posted Wednesday January 7 2009, 11:42 pm

For a long time I had a friend who I didn't know so well and wouldn't see very often, who really liked me. He told me he liked me but at the time I really didn't feel the same way. In all honesty, I never thought I'd like him and I told my mom about the situation. I really cared about him and knew that he was really hurt because I didn't like him. So months went by. Then we hung out again, and I felt something small for him that day, but I denied it and tried to make it go away. Then we hung out again. My best friend was with us too but she had to leave early. After that I was alone with him for a few hours. It was awkward at first but we started talking and I felt connected to him. I feel like I started seeing a part of him that I had never seen before. That day I accepted that I liked him and told my friend. So after that we hung out more and I told him that I liked him. I went on a date with him and it was really fun! I mean I was really happy to be with him and everything. So a few days ago he asked me out. But today my mom was talking to me and she brought him up. So she knows something is up with us because we are together a lot now and she basically told me that I should only do something because I want to and not because someone else wants me to. She went on and on and now I'm doubting my feelings for him?!?! But he couldn't have convinced me to like him right? How is that possible? I don't want to doubt my feelings for him but I can't have a boyfriend when I'm not sure how I feel about him. Maybe if I explain it to her I'll feel better but I don't know. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

You're attracted to his personality. If you didnt feel that way about him, you wouldnt be able to say all those nice things, like you connected to him and started seeing him in a different light. Just go with it. If it doesnt work then thats that.

Every single relationship is so because one person convinced another person to like them. Tell your mom that you weren't really attracted to him physically, but the more you got to talking to him, the more you realized that you really liked his personality. your mother will appreciate the fact that you are getting more mature and not only going for looks. If you aren't really sure about your feeling for him, let him know that you are a little confused. Tell him that you really want to keep things light right now, and you're not into putting a label on your relationship, and you want to get to know eachother a little bit better.

Haha, thats cute, I have a very similar situation with my husband =). When he first started asking me out I wanted NOTHING to do with him, it took him asking me out for a week straight for me to finally say yes hoping that he would shut up and leave me alone, lol. 9 yrs later here we are. So I really dont think that just by him saying he had feelings for you that you got them. You said you didn't know him very well and you didn't see him very often. Well guess what you have feelings for him b/c your compatible with him. Don't listen to your mom, she just wants whats best for you, and without being in your shoes she doesn't really know the situation. I say enjoy your new boyfriend, have fun and most importantly follow your heart, never second guess it. Good luck, I wish you the best!

Well... Perhaps he convinced you to like him, with out him evenin knowing it. Which yes means you have feelings for him. Make sure it's the right kind of feelings for him, don't hurt him.
You're mother is full of BS. She only says such things cause she doesn't want you to go down a wrong path.. But life is full of suprises, time to grow up make your own descions and never look back.
Yes, don't say you'll be his girlfriend, till you have a grip on the feelings you share for him. :D

Have a nice day, good luck love.
