Question - (14 July 2009) 7 Answers - (Newest, 15 July 2009)
A female United States age 36-40, *eau_Gallante writes:

There is this guy named Andrew that I had a huge crush on. He never ever noticed or even spoke to me in class. I would even sit next to him on purpose or ask him a question about something just to get his attn. One time he completely ignored me and asked another girl if she could help me. WTF? So finally a few weeks before the semester ended he talks to me and flirts asks me where I am from? Gave me compliments, etc....but doesn't ask me for my phone number. The thing is I was involved with someone else around the time Andrew came up to me.

It was so weird because I felt like I was apart of a movie when he came up to me, it was exactly how I imagined.

What I do not get is, when you are not thinking about your crush anymore, why do they then decide to come up to you?

wtf... :-O

Beau_Gallante agony auntThanks JasonX.

Lol, yes I have been frustrated since I can remember...let's see I've been guy-crazed for about ten years now and I feel I should have been experienced a lot more than I have. I just hope when I find the right guy I know what Im doing (not exactly sexually).

Sounds like you are quite frustrated, lol. I wish I had some real advice for you but all I can say is that soon u will find the right guy for you. One who is mature enough to see what is in front of him. As I gather you are still in college or so, I am sure most guys are crossed with being a teen still or being mature.

I am unsure how critical a first date is, but I suppose to some it is important.

At the same time just be yourself, and be patient and good things will happen.

Sorry if I'm not much help, I was like you once and didn't like hearing advice. But good things did happen to me and I did take my chances. But hey, I'm still single, so guess everything didn't work out.

Beau_Gallante agony auntHow long am I supposed to wait to see eye to eye with a guy? Is this going to go on forever? I just want to be with someone I really like, I really liked Andrew and just wanted to move on.

Beau_Gallante agony auntHello Libra1963 and dearkelja,

I have another question to ask you two, how long is this suppose to go on? When the right guy comes along is he going to do the same thing to me?

This happens to me often and now that the Andrew guy (and the guy that got me over Andrew) are out of my life...I am not talking to anyone this summer and I am thinking about Andrew agian. I know that is not important but how is a guy suppose to ever know that I like him if I do not show it? How long am I suppose to wait? I am going to explode!!! I never been on my first DECENT (i.e. to a restaurant, we always hung out somewhere) date... :'( this is pathetic.

And I dont mean to be so foward about it but I WANT SEX (sigh, there I said, lol) but it cant happen because no one really likes me enough.

Libra1963 agony auntIt took me a long time to learn this one. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder". You were probably too obvious before and it was turning him off.

Now that you have backed off you appear more attractive too him. Guys do not like girls in their faces all time and they like to chase girls. Play hard and do not give him your number. Let him pant.

If you want him you need to make him pant for a long time but remain friendly but do not smother him.

Good luck!

dearkelja agony auntSome guys and gals like attention. When you keep giving people attention the sometimes think you are not worthy of theirs so when you back off you immediately become a challenge for them and they pursue you in the attempts to get that attention back. And then when they have it again, poof, gone. It's guys and gals both who do this.

It's not that you aren't thinking about him. I think the better reason is that you have become unavailable so suddenly you stand out way more than you did before. :O

Messed up I know but sometimes one needs to lose something to know how much it meant to him.
