Question Posted Wednesday September 29 2010, 11:39 pm
Me- 19/f
Him- 21/f
How do I get a guy to stop seeing me as a friend? If it helps, I've known him a few weeks and we've hung out once, but he constantly makes it clear that we're just friends. I don't think the problem is me, as he's mentioned multiple times that he thinks I'm hot/pretty, would make a great girlfriend, etc. Is there anything I can do?
Additional info, added Thursday September 30 2010, 2:14 pm: * I know for a fact he doesn't like anyone else and is over his ex, etc.
* I haven't told him I like him because quite honestly I'm shy and scared.. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?

Or if he does like you in a romantic way, maybe he is emphasizing that you are friends because he doesn't want you to be put off by him liking you, if he believes you may not like him the same way; and he doesn't want to ruin the friendship. I don't know if you made it clear to him that you like him like that or not... if so, maybe your clues were subtle enough to leave him unsure. And he may not want to assume you like him, or go out on a limb, to be shot down. [ DoveBear9's advice column | Ask DoveBear9 A Question ]
