Best friend tells me this?

Asked Dec 8, 2011, 11:52 AM — 19 Answers
-Best friend likes me
-knows me for 5 yrs
-im 20 he's 21
- he's akward and lacks confidence
-tell him this
-he says the only way you would see my "romantic side" is if we went on dates or be together one on one in a appropriate setting.
-tell him that I do not see him that way so I can't be in such a setting with him.
-he says its the only way for me to see "that side" and not his akward shy side.
-he says he has insecurities from bad experiences with other girls and because of that he does not want to think he's doing something wrong with me which is why he's akward and tense around me.

What do I do? I'm not interested but he wants me to see that side and it would I guess give him confidence but should'nt he gain confidence from himself rather than from me?

sorry sorry sorry but i need opinions on this..

ok so after all of that we had another discussion through text.i stuck to my guns this time. check this out.

after talking for a bit i changed the topic...he was talking about being loopy from his medicine on monday when we had our discussion..

Me:i was out of it from the convo plus the cold.

michael:true true.still beats being loopy though. lol

Me:its more confusion to me

michael:confusion from what?

me:idk this notion that im supposibly flirting with you on and off i guess lol

michael:i thought we went over that already.how'd that come back up? lol

me:cause you were talking about how loopy u were monday. n i said i was loopy but really just confused
n u said from what n i said from convo.

michael:so you were loopy from that and the cold weather?

me:yes exactly

michael:well yea that would make someone loopy.i hope youre doing better today compared to then.lol

me:nope still think somethings wrong. a gut feeling.

michael:what do you think is wrong?

me:me not being direct with you my answer and u not taking no for an answer lol

michael:are we really going to have a repeat of our convo?

me:so u will take no for an answer?

michael:i thought that we already came to that conclusion that we were gonna let time pass so that we
could sort through our own problems.

me:im not going to promise anything. im going to date people just saying.

michael:well we never really promised anything to each other.we just said that you wanted to sort
what you want in a guy and focus on other things.that and me wanting to focus on doing things that would help my confidence dilema. and then after time passed something more might happen between us or not.

me:not to be mean but dont hold your breath. idk how much time that may take.

michael:you've already told me that (no i didnt) and we kinda agreed that im stubborn and patient.lol

me:i still think i have no interest but your stubborn so lol

michael:but what youve done contradicts what you...dear god we are repeating this arent we?lol

me:no im not being contradictive

michael:yes you are. hell you even admitted to there being a SLIGHT interest back when we were talking monday.we went over that to. its not just now that youve been like this with me.and how you flirt with me is more then just honest flirting >.>

me:so u bring it up now? i havent flirted with you at all before the breakup. u just think i did.

michael:yes you have adri. it obviously didnt really happen while you were going out with him , but you have before and weve had our moments *sigh*so we really are doing this..again lol

me:no i havent. again why bring it up now. n if im telling you no y do you keep being stubborn. its seriously wearing me down.

michael:but you have. if im coming off as stubborn in this conversation its only because you keep jumping back to saying that you never had an interest in me when youve done and said otherwise. plus...when you do that it really gets to me by making me think that you dont want to admit it and just want avoid it.you just saying and doing that makes me not know what to think.

me:ur being stubborn now because im directly n definetly saying no now n u keep insisting im saying otherwise because im on and off flirting.then you keep saying iam but im telling you no seriously. so now apprently i just dnt want to admit it or . goodness first im in denial now you think i just dnt want to admit it or something. idk what you ur trying to do.

michael:you do realize that not wanting to admit something to admit something is the same thing as denying it. im really not trying to do anything . all i want is for us to be honest with each other about how we feel. and after everything that weve been through and said as well as what others have seen with us, are you still going to say that there was never a mutual sense of interest even if it was small?

me:u said both. and the only thing ive told you was that ive been indecisive about us being together. im talking about how i feel now.

michael:that wasnt the only thing youve told me though. youve said before that there was a slight interest.you even said it on monday to let me know that this whole thing between us wasnt just one sided.

me:before i said their may be a slight interest because i was indecisive but now im not indecisive. im trying to stick to my guns here lol i said it monday but i was confused with what u were saying with me flirting on and off.so u weared me down to the point that i just said yea slight interest MABY.


michael:I doubt that you would tell me that you had a slight interest from being weared down. either way, you went on to say that even if you had one you didnt have the urge to follow up because you're currently dont know what you want in a guy and that you want to focus on other things.

me:k think what you want im going to bed.night

michael:im not thinking it tho. *sigh* should we continue this tomm?

me:idk

michael:well lets just see tommorow. until then, night.

so what do you guys think? maby im not wording myself right. if i did flirt. it must have been from being indecisive but now i know i definently have no interest. he thinks it means something just because people think we are an item or something. im stuck here. sorry for botherin so much lol

What is it you are trying to accomplish from a fellow that even a hello means you are interested in dating him?

If you cannot recognize that cussing him out is whats needed to make your point, then no doubt this wishy washy dance between you will continue until one of you has other things to do.

Maybe cussing is a bit harsh, but thats what usually happens when a guy gives a girl some unwanted attention. Oh, maybe thats the rub, you NEED his attention, or want it.

This has been going on for a month...

This is a non-issue. Just be direct and tell him there is zero interest and you will never date him or ignore him completely.

Because you've been handling this so poorly—"slight interest"? what the hell was that?—you will have to hurt his pride to make him stop by doing what tal said and give this boy a ol' fashioned talkin-to.
