Can a guy like a girl and still hook up with other girls?

Nope, that makes him a player. It's like saying, "Of course I liked you before we dated, but I had an opportunity to get laid".

yes is the same on the girls why you guys hook up with guys if you like another guy
no not because he needs it
its because its single and its there and is fun

A guy in his teen years can't go much longer than a week without masturbation or sex. If he tries to he starts getting "random wood", which means wood without even thinking something sexual lol. So basically even if he likes a girl his body will reach a point where it wants release with or without her. Remember girls before you judge a guy's hormones rise and fall daily. So yes if there are other girls that are given signals that he can get with them he is going to. (Some guys are more faithful, but generally not many)

as friends yes but ther way no.

There are reasons, but I don't feel like getting into a biology rant. xD Simply put, yes, men can have sex with women they don't necessarily like, even if they like another girl. For us, sex and emotion don't have to be the same thing. They CAN be.. they just don't have to be.

It doesn't matter if a guy likes someone or not. He still wants sex and with as much variety as possible. He isn't dating anyone, so nobody has any claim on him.

There's a girl I like and she doesn't have the same feelings for me.

I would hook up with other girls (if I actually could but chicks don't want to hook up with me :P) because I would want to forget about her and because I think it would make me feel better about myself.

If two people are not dating, then they have every right to see or hook with anyone that they want to. They aren't exclusive, well actually you'd have to be dating to actually be exclusive.

A guy can like a girl and still hook up with other girls, this is true. I've been one of those guys and really I can understand it to some extent. Let me tell you a story.

I've known my girlfriend for a very long time. I've always thought she was special even long before we ever got together. See we started out as friends and eventually it led to use being best friends. When I started to really fall for her I never thought she'd go for me, and I honestly thought that even if I did make a move she'd say no and things would get weird and the friendship was ruined. I actually hooked up a few times with other girls and I dated another girl before I actually told her. When I did tell her she shot me down. Amazingly enough we were still friends after that. It wasn't for (roughly) another month and a half later that she told me her feelings for me, but I didn't know it was going to happen.

The fact that she shot me down made be feel somewhat ambivalent. On the one hand I was relieved because I was really kinda worried that I'd be good enough for her, and wondering if I would just screw it up and end the friendship when we broke up. So yeah her not returning my feelings does kinda of save me that trouble (or at least that was my thought process at the time). On the other hand I was also a little down because she didn't feel the same way. I kinda wanted to put it all behind me, so, I went back to picking up girls.

You might be thinking that this is scumbag behaviour but you should understand something: That as much as I felt for her I never thought we'd get together. I wanted to, but I never thought we could. So I figured why stay single and unhappy? I went out and got somebody else, and tried to move on with my life. Unfortunately nothing ever worked out, but also the upside of nothing working out when moving on was that I was still a free agent on the day that she came around to telling me that she liked me. I lucked out there

The point of this story is to tell you that some guys can't just hold out and wait for a girl he might never get. Sometimes he may love a girl very much but if all signs point to no when asking if he'll get the girl, then he may just look elsewhere for a variety of reasons. I my case that reason would be to get over her. Or get over the idea of not ever getting her.

Call me what you like but I know for a fact that there are tons of girls that would do the exact same thing.

I hope this answered your question.

Yes...As long as their not in a relationship...And guys go out with other girls for various reasons be it...To forget, to preserve a friendship, ect

if they are not in a relationship then yes.

Well, what do you mean by "like"? Is there a sexual dimension to it.
If so, then
"a woman needs a reason",
"man needs a place".

He's not committed to her or anything, so he's going to keep his options open.

I'd expect a girl to do the same, if I knew a girl liked me but we haven't dated or anything like that, I don' expect her not to date other people as we don't have any ties yet.

pe..its because there guys..young and don't want to settle down just yet..its all about variety right now.. so id get yourself a variety too.. enjoy ur youth ..goes by to fast.. you will find the one who don't need no one eles..but you.. he's out there..youll see

It depends on the situation. If the girl has mutual feelings for him, and she knows it, then it's not something a wise guy would do, but guys (especially in the teen years) have a libido that's hard to ignore,leading to them finding it hard to start once the 'hook up' is initiated. If the girl doesn't reciprocate the feelings the guy has for her, I can definitely see a guy doing that to re-boost his ego. Heck, I can see a guy who had mutual feelings coming from the girl, do that.

if they don't love them then yes they can.

Yeah, I think so. Some girls do things like this too, you know. Often times it's just because they want sex and don't think a relationship with the other person is going to happen, or something, for whatever reason. And, yeah, sometimes they do it to try to forget about the person they like, for whatever reason.
