thank u for the advice both of you..I have to go with the male point of view on this one because i dnt want to play a game with him and space away so he can chase me,I do not want to change who I am for a guy to be intrested in me..im tired of wasting time on men who dnt knw what they want. and i do believe that man knows best on a situation like this. cause its closer to home. within another man. thank u for that i really like him but you're right i dnt need to deal with him...

So you want to stick around just until you find out if he is worth your time or not? You say there is this balance of power, this push and pull between you both that makes it difficult for you to get what you want out of this, which I assume you simply want his unconditional full attention. But you are not getting his full unconditional attention...and you are still wondering if he is worth your time...Well he likes you only when you pull away. Does that sound like someone worth your time? No.

Apart from that what has he done that makes you want to gauge him further. Has he been there for you when you are down? When you are up? Does he live for you? Does he do nice things for you? Does he call you to see how your day has been? Does he bring you pizza and a movie when you are sick? Was he with you for Christmas? Did he get you what you wanted? Does he do favors for you? Does he tell you you are beautiful? Does he want to be involved in your life? Does he care about the things and people you care about?

If you answered yes to all of these then this could be someone worth your time. If you answered no to most of these and to top it off he only pays attention to you when you ignore him then stop wasting your time. You have nothing more to find out about this guy. He just doesn't care. How much more clear can he make it to you?

xanthic agony auntThis isn't a game in the same sense as the ones women tend to play. I doubt he's doing it purposely to mess with your head.

He acts interested when you back off because you're more of a challenge. Men like to chase, they lose interest when they feel like they've caught you. Telling him you're frustrated about it will seem needy and might make him lose all interest. Instead, you need to be more distant, let him contact you first a few times. As long as you keep him guessing and don't become predictable, he'll be interested.

The Realist agony auntIt sounds like he only wants what he can't have, there is excitement in the chase but no pleasure in actually being with the person. I wouldn't deal with this guy any more. Telling him may just give him more power over the situation, don't let him know it bothers you and try to just work him out so that you can meet a guy who really wants to be with you.
