hi i am a 19/f, and i recently befriended an older boy in my class. he's 24/m. Well we started talking in class,and we would talk about the class or i would ask about him. well anyways we started talking on facebook as well cause i added him. and outside class when he saw me he would smile at me. So i thought maybe he liked me but was too shy to ask me out. In class one day we were talking, and he told me he was a fitness trainer and i didn't believe him so he gave me his business card, and it had his cell phone number on it. i texted him a few days later and he didn't recognize my number, and i told him who i was and then he said that he didn't think anyone would text him that late, and i said i hope you don't mind. And then he said that he did be cause of his girlfriend, and also because he said he uses it for business purposes. I was very disappointed because i thought he liked me. i told my therapist about how i liked him and she told me since i am not allowed to date, to only make friendly conversation with him, but instead i ended up calling him and making a fool of myself. And when i told her what happened she said that i shouldn't have texted him so late or even at all since i wasn't even allowed to date. She also said that he was only trying to be friendly, and that he wasn't shy like i thought he was, but he was never interested in me. And if he was he would've already asked me out. She assured me everything would be fine and im just a little naive. I really wish i wasn't so how can i change this? Also how do you know if a guy really likes you and isn't just shy? Because im super embarrassed, and i plan on sitting with my other friend for the rest of the semester. please help!!
Additional info, added Sunday March 28 2010, 7:48 pm: i really thought he liked me because one day we were in a group together doing the review for this test, and he would ask me if he could borrow my review, well i was sitting next to him. and when i went to the bathroom and came back he told me he took my review without asking me! lol and then when i asked him a what something mean t he told me and i was texting and he was like well aren't going to write it down? and i was like umm yeah. and i thought it was kind of mean at first but i was like whatever. so yeah idk, i feel so dumb for chasing him when he wasn't interested in me. or was he? when he gave me his number the same day i took the stairs which he does, and when i was at the first floor i was texting my dad., and when he got to he first floor he saw me and gave me a weird look, and i think he thought that i was waiting for him and i wasn't. well anyways later on that day i called his cell phone number from a blocked number, and the first time i did my phone died then i called while it was charging the second time and accidentally pushed end, then the third time he answered and i didn't say anything and he hung up. the next day i actually called from my number and he didn't answer. then i called the day after that and he didn't answer, then i texted him and that's when he told me he has a girlfriend. I think he was just saying that because he isn't interested, because i know some guys do that. so yeah. . Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?

But quit obsessing about it! You're just going to make yourself feel worse. If you keep thinking about it you're going to stress yourself out. You need to learn how to learn from your mistakes and not punish yourself so much. And don't contact this guy anymore. He's clearly creeped out... you don't want to be THAT person!
