Question - (23 May 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 23 May 2009)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Theres a guy Ive liked for over 3 years now, and we became really flirty and really good friends with eachother (over the internet). Last year, we finally met up with eachother. The first time he took me out for dinner, the second time he invited me over for a few days, he paid for dinner and the movies. He held my hand round the city, had his arms around me when we were snuggling on the sofa, and I don't think I've been kissed so much in my life. He intiated everything, as I wanted to not be too keen, and to see if he really did like me. The third time he stayed round mine for a few days, we were acting like we were a couple... and eventually we ended up having sex, but everything was cool afterwards!! Everytime I talk to him I'm so happy, I just love him to bits.

He has such a romantic side, and my feelings have grown so strong for him. I've told him how he makes me happy, how I miss him when I don't talk to him, and that he's such a caring and nice guy, but he just really confuses me. He text me yesterday (22nd May) after we hadn't spoken for a week (he never usually does) just to say hi, that he couldnt talk to me as his computer was broken. Then we started having the massive conversation, he was saying how he might be coming north to where I live in San Fran soon, and that he'd like to see me and have a cuddle and a kiss. I text back, and said that it would be nice, and that I've missed him. He text back saying he's missed me too, and that its been too long since we last met, and invited me up in a few weeks, said how it would be nice to kiss and cuddle me all day again, and that he was planning somethng special for me as extra so he could see me again. I decided to ask a question, like what do you see in me, and he said that he would say the same, but he could think of loads of reasons why he likes me.

He is just so confusing, nor me, or my friends know whats going on. However, my friend did say 'it sounds like he picks you up, and then drops you again whenever he feels like it'. I really don't know what to make of that comment, I can see why she thinks that, but I dont know if he's the kind of guy to do that, I really have no idea. Perhaps he is playing because he knows I like him? I just don't know.

He hasn't asked me out yet, but I don't know if thats because we live 2 hours away, and he's not the long distance relationship kinda guy, or because he's going into the USA armed forces soon, or if he is just messing me around.

I was just wondering what you guys think of my situation, I was really happy about me and him, until my friend said about that comment. I'm planning to see him soon, so shall I just see what happens, or should I put a stop to me and him? Does it sound like he likes me, or is he stringing me along?

To be honest, I have just read your question and I am a bit confused as to what the problem is. To me, everything sounds great between you two, and he definitely seems to like you a lot in my opinion.

You said that you felt fine until that comment from your friend. If that is the case, then I think the comment has made you feel a bit insecure. Maybe your friend doesn't understand the situation between you and this guy, or maybe they are jealous...Either way, I wouldn't let that ruin your relationship with this guy.

If you genuinely have issues regarding the relationship, then talk to HIM about it, not your friend. Otherwise, I would say just enjoy what sounds like a nice relationship! x
