Question - (28 September 2012) 1 Answers - (Newest, 29 September 2012)
A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Hello all, to make it sound lesser, I am infatuated with this boy(a friend) that I met not too long ago but before I tell you my reasons why, I'd like to tell you more about him for the sake of the question. So, he's a very intelligent, talented guy and really handsome and when I first met him I thought like, wow, he's all energetic and talkative just like me, we're gonna get along so well!

But then, as I got to know him, I find him to be quite....French? Because he is from France, he's very sarcastic(not saying that's a french thing) but yes, he is VERY sarcastic, almost 300% of the time, like you could tell him something like "I'm a sensitive person" and he's be like "Really don't care" but he'd be kidding. Or he'd act a certain way for a few days but wouldn't mean anything serious about it, like he'll treat you like you are stupid or say you are stupid but will go back and be like "I don't really think you're stupid I'm just being, so and so.

And he analyzes people a lot, like he 'reads' people. And I have his number, and when we text, we frequently get into these little quarrels and in person we get into quarrels too not like BIG, serious arguments, more like ....well an example would be, like I would be singing so he'd take his tie and just hit me in my face like "Meh! I'm attacking you with my tie" I guess, so I'd take my book and hit him in his face and we'd just laugh and bicker.

Or, I'd be talking and he'd put his hand on my face and so we'd playfight again and I'd text him and be like "If I talk too much you could just tell me instead of putting your hot, sweaty, musical theatre hand on my face" and he's like "oh no, that time I just wanted to put my hand on your face :3"

....Yes, he's that kind of guy, very good at pissing people off. Now, here's why I am infatuated with him. Now, as I get to know him better (despite our quarrels we continue to become very good friends) I realize how much in common we really have. We are both, pretty damned sarcastic, and we both actually like to 'read' people.....now this is where it's get weird, I hope I do not sound to ....ugly(I don't know how to word it) I mean, I'm well aware that humans are humans, you know.

But, as a writer, an artist, very frequently I absorb reality like, the things I hear(conversations), see, touch, feel, etc, I use all that and apply it to my fiction. So, when I met this boy, he's basically the 'piss you off till you get to know him but he'll still piss you off' kind of sarcastic(if that makes sense)....the intelligent jackass to be frank, however as an artist and a person I am fascinated by him because I love his character, he has the character that I spend a lot of time trying to develop in fiction, simply because I love writing about difficult people, people who are hard to get along with. So, to summarize this feeling I have for him, it's like saying I am the scientist and this boy is a little lab rat I am observing, of course the relationship is much more less inhumane.

I wouldn't say I'm obsessed with him, more like I have a HUGE crush on him and I'm increasingly intrigued by him and I'm eager to get to know him more because I see through him a bit. Now, he analyzes people the same way like the scientist and the lab rat, of course, I don't know for what reason. We both have a great interest in science and human behavior

And we're both xenophiles ( we love different cultures). I kind of just really wanna see how all of this goes, even though there's no guarantee of us like actually dating. Though I did tell him I had a small crush on him and I asked him if I had a chance and he said "I don't know you well but I don't see why not," :/ though still, despite my infatuation, my crush, is it best to leave him alone though?

I ask because, well, although he and are surprisingly alike, we do still get into it a lot. Not seriously, just...like, do you all get what I'm saying, he's the kind of guy you love but can't stand like "Ugh! You're such a little prick but, agh, I can't stay mad at you for long :3"

Well, in my opinion, he doesn't sound like he's being a prick. He actually reminds me of my crush, I hope this isn't the same person we're talking about! (Lol) As I was saying, he sounds like he's playing with you. It doesn't sound like serious fights - more like play fights. Correct me if I'm wrong but you guys seem to be somewhat flirting. You're young: sophomores or juniors, no? A boy I knew would slap me with his tie when I said something that embarrassed him soI think you're in the clear. He may be saying that he doesn't know you well enough because he's embarrassed (I honestly find this one unlikely but possible) or he really doesn't feel it all yet! To be clearer, he wants to get to know you more. I completely understand this because I can't like a person unless I get to know them as a person.
