A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

hi guys... i went to this party on friday night and this guy was there who i've liked for a few months now! he's 23 and i'm 17 but he's got me head over heels. All his mates say he only goes out with a girl if she's drop dead gorgeous but he's been showin me alot of the signs that he likes me! However, he only seems interested when he's had a drink and some people have told me it could be dutch courage. He makes my heart melt but it's really annoying how he shows no interest when hes sober. He hasn't had many girlfriends and he's apparently been really distant with his past girlfriends.

We've kissed a couple of times n he always defends me if someone offends me i can't understand him do you think he's just playing hard to get?

Chemer agony auntYou say all his mates say he only goes out with girls that are drop dead gorgeous. Well it seems you have low self esteem as you don't think he should be going out with you. That is just one thing I picked up on.

He could be worried about the age difference. He could like you but thinks what his mates might think about the age difference or even don;t know in your country if he could legally go with you.

I suggest you get him when he is sobour explain to him how you feel and if he laughs it off then leave him. I am sure you are a lovely girl and have a good chance of getting a decent bloke in the future.

I agree with Exaltedgod when he says that he probably prefers to play the field than have long term relationships. Also he is keeping his ex's at arms length for a reason. Maybe they have a few stories to tell you that will open up your eyes and make you realize what he is really like. Then again he could be a nice bloke. Only one side of the story here not calling you a liar but hard to judge when only one side of the coin is showing.

Hugs,

Alright, he's not playing hard to get he is play the "how long will it take to get in this gal's pants" card. The fact that he doesnt show interest when he is sober should be evident enough. Just because he defends you doesnt mean anything except that he could be trying to build your trust, want to have sex with you, and then leave you just to say he did it. Being distant from his last girls means that doesnt want them to get into his "new" life and that he hasnt been with many girlfriends is also another sign saying that this numb nuts gets around the block. (no offense tended). I dont know the female biology all that well but i am about 99.99999% sure you will feel this way about someone else in the future. Be safe but have fun and i hope this helped.
