I don't know for sure if he likes me but I certainly have a strong impression that he does. So if he does... why is he holding back?

Question - (6 July 2007) 1 Answers - (Newest, 6 July 2007)
A female United Kingdom, anonymous writes:

A few months back I plucked up the courage to tell the guy I really liked at University that I liked him. I was convinced he liked me back because of how he acted around me, always flirting and he seemed to be very attached and had made some attempts as to what seemed like telling me he liked me. (silly messages and things)

I texted him and he text back saying he liked me too but he didn't want to ruin us being friends. This confused me because although we had always been friends we were never platonic friends, or even best friends.

The next time I saw him he told me that actually he didn't like me and he just didn't want to upset me. Obviously I was upset and angry and all the rest. But I moved on and have had a few flings and crushes since then.

The problem now is that I still hang around with him and he still acts like he likes me. More than that, sometimes I get the impression he's in love with me.

We went out one night and he got very jealous when I danced with someone else, he sneakily took my phone and read the texts on it! Also we all went back to my house and everyone slept over. He came into my room and we talked for hours and he ended up sleeping with me in my bed. Nothing happened but it was strange and really intimate. He also had my nightie and was smelling it! Im assuming because it smelt like me... this is all very confusing. I don't want to get involved with someone that messes me around but I can't help but feel the old emotions bubbling back up to the surface again. I don't know for sure if he likes me but I certainly have a strong impression that he does. So if he does... why is he holding back? Why did he deny it and set us back so far?

Please help! (and thanks for reading)

jodi agony auntThe chase is so much more fun than capturing. Once he knows he got you then the excitment would end..I think he enjoys playing with your mind than anything.. he wants to carry you around with him, but not make anything official.. It may be okay for a while, but it gets old and if i was you i would seem other guys. A University is crawling with them everywhere.. stay cool..someone who maybe noticing you has probally been noticing you and is afraid to make there move simply becuas of this drama guy who plays with your mind.. You'll be fine. Let him if he is really interested in you.. have him show you.. good luck sweetie.. i'll be thinkin of you.
