There is this one person I am interested in but when I rationally look at his personality and lifestyle, I know that it would be really hard for a relationship or anything substantial between us to work out but after getting to know him, I think it would be worth it to try. Also, I'm afraid that he might be using me physically. Everyday it's questionable if I will talk to him or not. I don't know if it's the challenge or the chase that is attracting me to him. I don't know if I'm just overly suspicious. I just don't want to be hurt and disappointed again. I'm not accustomed to the single life so I'm clueless as to how to tell if someone is genuinely interested in you as a person or if they're just trying to use you. So here is my question, how do you tell if someone is genuinely interested in you? Should I stop talking to him altogether? What should I do?!? Reply to this Question

 They will walk that extra miles for you and accompany you to the end of the world.Only time will tell if he is genuine or a fake.
They will take all the craps you throw at them and they are like a big sponge.
They will make you feel like the most beautiful and the most wanted woman in the whole world.it brings out the best in you.

 I think the fact that you are suspicious and wary should be an indication. If you feel like leaving every day then there isn't much point getting involved with him. And if you feel used then regardless of if he is using you or not, you still *feel* used.Take a break from this guy. Get to know yourself a bit better. Trust your intuition.Take careScythe

 I think if they are interested in you, they will play it cool and be genuinely romantic. They won't try to have sex with you or complain about it until the right moment comes. Most of all a person who is interested in you will *respect* you.
