I like a guy who doesn't like me back?


Question Posted Saturday October 2 2010, 4:21 pm

So theres this guy I really like. He has a girlfriend though, but i cant just give up on him. We're friends but not really good ones. I like him a lot and he doesnt like me back. What should I do? What should I do to get him to like me? And by the way, he already knows I like him.

He doesnt like you.

You need to give up on him. By obsessing over him your pushing him farther away. You said it yourself he doesnt like you and he has a girlfriend. You barely even know him. Its pointless to waste your time on someone who just really isnt that into you. Find someone else to put your efforts into.

Sounds like you have a better chance with his girlfriend. Go for her.

Hun, most people will go through this at some point in their lifetime.
I know it hurts, but there isn't anything left that you can do.
He knows you like him and he has a girlfriend - if he liked you back, he wouldn't be with this other girl.
When I was about 17, I went through something similar. I liked a boy who had a girlfriend, he apparently liked me too. He'd meet up with me, basically told me he wanted to be with me and was finding the right time to dump her - this went on for about a year, 'til I realized what the HELL am I doing and why am I wasting my time? Needless to say, I cut off contact and found a boyfriend I could call my own.
Now, I'm not saying to cut off contact with him, but stop crossing the line. He clearly likes his girlfriend, otherwise he wouldn't be with her. You shouldn't have even really told him you like him whilst he's in a relationship (unless he knew before he was with her..)
Let them get on with their relationship - you can't split a couple up and magically make him like you. I know it sucks, but unfortunately, life doesn't work like that!
Carry on being friends by all means, but take a step back and move on. Find another boy and focus your attention on trying to get him. :)

Best of luck.

What should you do?
Absolutely nothing.
There isn't anything you can do to force this boy to like you.
First off, he's already got a girlfriend.
That alone should be enough to deter you.
And second, he doesn't like you.
If you don't like someone, do you think they could magically convince you to like them? Of course not!
I recommend you stop deluding yourself, because you're only going to end up getting hurt.
And you CAN give up on him, by the way.
The more you tell yourself you can't, the harder this is going to be.

I've been that boyfriends gf. I've been in that girls place where a girl is getting at my guy. My bf did the same told the girl "im not interested i have a girlfriend". That shows he cares about her, and if he does he'll probably even tell her that you are trying to get at him. So best advice is let it go because its gonna bring problems to you.

If he knows you like him already, and he showed no interest thats as far as its gonna get, hes just going to push you away and cut your friendship completely.

This is one situation you don't want to get into. He seems like he is happy with his girlfriend. There are other guys out there. Guys who would give you what you want. Guys who are single.

Exercise a ton of caution and restraint. He is with someone and committed to that. You need to respect this. If you don't his girlfriend will cause you problems as will he.

You will lose any opportunity down the road and both of them if you look remotely like you are trying to sway him still. It doesn't matter how things really are but her and his perception.

All you can do is tone things down and just be casual friends. If you see them breakup eventually and it will happen then you can ramp things up and try to get him to hang out with you more.

Right now sit back and be as good friend as you can by being natural and then maybe he'll remember you later. After all he knows what you are after so it won't require much for him to find you if he wants to if this relationship falters. For now you need to cool it and be less in your face and forget about wanting him for now or it will all backfire.

the best thing is to leave it alone. he already knows you like him so if he wanted you he would have done something. just let it be or you'll just end up making a fool of yourself.
