This guy


Question Posted Tuesday September 8 2009, 9:10 pm

15/f

There is this guy I started talking to like a couple weeks ago. I knew who he was before but then out of no where he started talking to me. He is one of my friends but I don't like him like that. He's cool to talk to but when he starts flirting with me or something its really awkward. The most he does is just turn around and talk to me during class and will want to arm wrestle or something that has to do with our hands. So he asked me to put my number in my phone but I never did. I didn't like totally reject it in front of his face but my friend took it and was looking at it. So I felt better about that.

I just don't like him like that and even if he was trying to get to me I wouldn't want him to do it so fast. My friend told me she thinks he likes me and it does seem like he's moving fast. I thought he was too. What am I supposed to do about it? Just let it pass by and ignore it? Or talk to him? I wouldn't really want to do that since it's hard enough for me to talk to him in the first place and that I don't want me telling him something when he really doesn't like me. Or should I just wait around and see if I ever end up having feelings for him? Ehh...I don't know...

I would just ignore it, or just talk to him like you would anyone else, he might just be joking around. I have this one guy friend who is sooo touchy, & all these girls always think he likes them & i even thought that, but i didn't really like him & so I just kind of ignored it & acted the way i act with anyone else, & now he is my bestest friend ever, & he is always like, i hate how girls think i like them, i'm just being friendly. & then he gets into this big long explanation about how it bothers him.. haha. so are you sure he isn't just like that? girls do tend to over analyze things. i mean, what are you going to say if he does actually like you.."i think you like me, but i don't feel the same way?" if he does like you, he probably will be like.. i don't like you & lie and cover it up & tell everyone about how silly you were to think that.. would you want thaT? i know guys that have done that before. he could react a lot of different ways, its not worth the drama. just don't lead him on. just talk to him & be nice.

It's a touchy subject. I don't think you should completely ignore him, just continue to be nice. I don't think you should be mean, because he may end up resenting you, and other people could hear about it and think you're mean because you completely let him down, ignoring him and such.

Don't feel pressured to like him and don't feel guilty about not liking him either. You shouldn't force yourself to like him, because then you will think you like him but it's not genuine at all. And if you end up in a relationshop of some sort, it will not last long at all.

Like I said, just be nice. If he ever says anything to you about liking you or anything, just say something like "I'm really sorry, but I think we're better just as friends". You know how that speech goes, I'm sure lol.

I really hope I helped! If you have any questions, just drop one in my inbox.
Good luck!
