how do i act around him now?


Question Posted Tuesday April 14 2009, 5:12 pm

A week and a half ago I admitted to my guy friend that I liked him and I pretty much scared the hell out of him. We didn't talk over that weekend or the monday after, and by then I'd already realized that the way I told him (long story) was way too forward, and in addition to the fact that it's not everyday a girl justs blurts that out to him. Then on tuesday, which was last week I apologized for freaking him out and he said it was ok and he pretty much admitted that I freaked him out but that was the last time we discussed it. I'm completely relieved that we're still friends but he never said whether he feels te same way or not, so I'm thinking that either he's been thinking about it and is not sure how to respond or not sure how he feels or he's just trying to forget about it. Last Wednesday though I could clearly tell he was nervous whenever I looked at him or spoke to him, not in the way he spoke but just by his body language and facial expression. and in one of our classes he still seemed nervous but he was still talking to me and we would still laugh about some stuff so I was relieved that he wasn't avoiding me or anything. But during that period, and we weren't doing anything that period we were just hanging out while other people in our class were taking a test, he kept looking over at me, which he never usually does, so i don't know what to think of that. After tat day vacation started and tomorrow it'll be a week since we last talked and he hasn't texted me or anything, which I guess is not too surprising because he never really did that much in the past. I can't help to wonder if he's still thinking about it&is still unsure or if he's been trying to forget about it. But either way I would assume that once we're back in school on Monday no matter what the case is he's still going to have the fact that I like him in mind whenever he talks to me. But I'm scared after this week and a half the thought will have blown over too much. And I've decided that if he decides he likes me back, then the ball is in his court, and I won't push him about it or bring it up unless he does, because if anything I'm really lucky that he's still my friend, that usually wouldn't happen to me (but with guys ive like in the past, they always found out from other people, not me, telling this particular guy directly that I liked him was one of the hardest things I've ever done). Even though I'm completely willing to remain friends if that's what ends up happening, I still want to be kindof flirty with him and sortof make sure he doesn't forget how I feel and still considers ever giving me a chance. How do I act around him without being too pushy and being too obvious?

Don't act weird about it and don't change. And definitely don't apologize again. There's always the possibility that he likes you so just play it cool. But next time, you really shouldn't just admit to a guy that you like him like that. Just flirt and let nature take its course. You've got to give guys a little bit of work to do or they'll just give up.

You are exactly like me when i told my guy friend i liked him, it felt very awkward at first we didnt speek for a while but we started to speek after a week or so he asked me when i started to like him and so on. But he never told me how he felt about me either i had a feeling that he liked me to but i wasnt sure. The next day he told me he liked me to but he felt wierd coz we were friends for so long and i just told him the way i felt.
The guy that you like he probably likes you back too or his just thinking. You have to give him some time to think. You should just act the way you use to act before you told him you liked him
just be yourself. Dont go to far and to pushy with the flirting but it wont hurt anyone if you flirt a bit:P

Well just act like you guys used to. Think back to before you told him and remember how it used to be. Then go back acting like that. But he may be scared to tell you that he likes you sometimes you have to push guys. Because if your don't guys won't do anything. Trust me I am one and I know that from personal expreince. So just try to ask him one more time see how he reacts. He looks freaked then just let it drop. It couldn't hurt could it?!

Good Luck!!

I have had the SAME issue, it's a sad thing....The friend Kyle did the same thing I'm sorry to say that he's just not sure how to act around you anymore. Give him a little more space, he'll come around. With me he did the same thing...after a few weeks though my friend was sick of hear'in/see'in this go'in on so she went up to him brought over to me and he told me ''______ I don't like you that way, I'm not ready for a girlfriend, I just wanna be friends. Sorry.''....I Hope you have WAY better luck then I did, hope I was to some help.

you have to be careful when telling someone how much you like them. you may have bene in love for ages but when it comes out it's fresh to them and just a lot to take in. i've scared people in the past by being honest and forward. now you feel like you have to talk about it but at the same time are scared to talk about it and make it worse. in my mind, i can't see you not ever talking about this again. i feel that you have to for yoru own good but it could possibly make it worse. i'd just write an email to him or little letter. to me, that way there is no confrontation. but i'd jsut say "i'm not sorry for what i said to you. but i'm sorry about how it may have come out. the last thing i want are for things to be awkward. i don't expect you to have the same feelings as me. the ball is in your court. if anything happens it will be because you want this too. things will be the same with us unless you walk through this door that i have opened. if and when that happens that will be your choice. i just felt you were worth taking a chance on." i really respect your courage. it is so difficult to tell someone that you like them. it has never been easy for me. on top of it, they always seem surprised which amazes me. i feel like i'm so obvious and then they are surprised i have any feelings at all. just go slow with this guy. take any conversation you can get from him from now.

Hello there,
My answer for this question is that he knows you like him. And you told him this. Telling people that you like them is hard for most people, so this was quite a courageous act. The hard part is over with; telling this boy that you like him is very brave of you.
You've already talked to him about your feelings once. You seem quite brave around him, so just ask him about his feelings on what you told him. Ask him what's going on. Things like that.
It may not be as easy as it sounds, so maybe make a list of things you want to say so you don't forget any details. But you can always leave out some of those if you want.

I HOPE THIS HELPS :]
