Question - (29 November 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 29 November 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, *auraaa :) writes:

I met this boy about a year ago and I liked him straight away, and everybody thought he liked me too. The rest of the group noticed that there was flirting going on so I decided to be brave and make a move- only to be rejected. He told me he didn’t want a relationship, and it broke my heart. I had never been rejected before and it seemed so cruel. So we didn’t speak for a while, and then when we started to talk again things were different. It wasn’t awkward, in fact, it was even better than before. We were getting really close at one point; he’d always text me and email me, when we were together he’d focus his attention mostly on me. We’d play fight and he’d steal things of mine so I’d have to practically get on top of him to get them back. He even dragged me onto a friend’s trampoline and refused to let me go. It got to the point that our friends thought we were dating... I can’t really emphasise enough on how close we were.

Then I found out that, during the period when we weren’t talking, he had been saying insulting things behind my back. So I decided to move on and went on a couple of dates with another boy. When I told him about this other boy he stared down at his hands for a while, muttered to one of our friends that speaking several languages fluently (as the boy I dated did) wasn’t impressive, and walked away from me for a while. Then everything started to spiral downwards again, and we didn’t talk for another few months. Now he’s back in my life again, and the last time I was with him I kept catching his eye... but he’d immediately look away again. What’s his game? Does he have any interest in me whatsoever? ?

The kid has loads interest in you, This happend to me when i was younger, excpet the girl i used to do this with turned out to like my best mate which broke my heart. How i didnt find that out till about 2years down the line, how every my best friend new this, kept it from me, but never did anythingt with this girl, i like, i couldnt be more thankful really. However it seems like you have the better/upperhand of the situation i had. And believe me, talking making sure and forcing bets or stupid deals like HE HAS TO TAKE TO McDonalds or Dinky sohnuts wutever. just so you can spend time with him, Then do it. During them few minutes together you can gain the information you need. Whether he like you or not, Dont try to be to pushy, just suggest it, let him no you need an answer, but not straight away, you want the full truth, but not all at once, feel me?

CindyCares agony aunt Don't read that much in his comment.

Boys are naturally competitive, he was used to have all your attention focused on him and he liked to be in the spotlight, even if he does not reciprocate your feelings.

Seeing you enthusiastic about some other guy probably made him feel a bit as if someone intruded into his territory.

It does not sound like this guy has an interest in you other than friends... and, as for that, I would wonder if I really need a friend who says bad things about me behind my back !
