A reader, anonymous, writes (12 June 2014):

It's not that guys particularly want bad girls, or the other way around. Sometimes opposites attract.

What you might think would be a good match for another person, or even a bad one; they surprise you with doing just the opposite. That only means human-nature is illogical and unpredictable.

Congrats on your successful graduation.

Sometimes it takes time for someone we like to notice us. We have to be visible and available, and let them know that we might be interested in subtle ways. Otherwise; they may never notice. If we don't get any signals back that the are interested; you move on just as you did.

It's fine being shy, but how are people supposed to know we like them; if we hide and watch them like stalkers? Sometimes you have to take a chance and say hello, chat, or just walk right up and start a conversation.

I guess you have realized that there are plenty of available men; and being obsessed over one who doesn't know you exist, is no way to go. He suddenly realizes that his first choice was a bad one, and his second choice may not be as interested as before.

Give him a chance. If you no longer fancy him, politely let him down; and move on to better things to come.

petina1 agony auntWell done for achieving your results. You have to look at this situation like in the early days he already had a girlfriend. You say she always shouted at him and you wondered why he stayed with her. Well he didn't stay in that situation after all. He knows you liked him and now he is free he wants to pursue you. You must be showing him a different more confident side to you and he has stood up and taken notice. It won't do you any harm to go and have a coffee and a chat with him to see if there's anything there for you now. Good luck
