I am really close friends with this guy. Because we both live in dorm, we always hang around each other everyday just like good friends would. Just recently, he keeps telling me I am dumb and stupid, mostly, I assume in a joking way. I do admit that I can be quite ignorant at times, and I am a bit slow at getting jokes at times. Is he, as a good friend, just trying to be honest without hurting me?
There were a couple of times when I got REALLY mad because he was overdoing it, kept calling me 'stupid', until it seemed as though I am worthless. However, when I started ignoring him, 'the-most-cruel-silent-treatment', he kept apologizing and tried all ways to make me less mad. He even asks me why do I pms a lot even when he knows I get mad because of his annoying name-calling habit.
I've also asked him why he enjoys making me angry, and he said that it is funny to see me get mad.
It does not seem that he hates me, and he prefers spending time alone with me. Even though he always tries to explain why not to invite other friends along to some of our activities (e. G. Hangout, group study,. ) HOWEVER I just wonder if what he does to me, are just playful teasing, being plain mean because he likes me, or has it crossed the line between joking and insulting?
Haha this guy is really immature. I've heard of this before. I tease girls too---but only to a certain extent, you can't make people feel stupid all of the time. He does this to you not to make you feel bad, but to make himself feel better. See, he's having the time of his life when he makes fun of you because you get angry and he laughs. The thing is, he isn't really considering your feelings because he thinks, "she can handle it. " As to if he likes you, I doubt it. If I tease someone quite a bit then we're just friends. If I like someone I'll tease them of course but it would kind of be in a sexual way with sexual jokes. I would never keep calling a girl stupid that I like, because I wouldn't be getting anywhere with her, I'd make myself look dumb and immature. Okay I did that when I was like in 7th grade because I didn't know any better. And the girl was quick to turn me down too because she hated the way I treated her. If I were you, I'd call this guy stupid too and make fun of how he looks. And when you start cracking up so hard that your eyes are shut, when you open them and look at him he should have a straight face.
Have you ever heard the song by Neyo called "When You're Mad"? If not you should listen to it lol because he sings about how his girl is so damn sexy when she's mad. I don't think that he sincerely thinks you're stupid, or hates you. I think he just likes to see you mad and one of the fastest ways to anger a person is to insult their intelligence. He probably likes you, if you like him too, you should go along with his little game and come up with things to call him and laugh at his insults. Tell him things like," Aw, how cute! You're not clever enough to come up with anything better? " Give him a challenge and he'll love it! It'll be more fun for you as well.
I had this same problem with my friend who is a girl she did the same this I tried telling her to stop and she never did so I had to do severe things and I broke off our friendship. She eventually came back and said she was sorry and she would never do it again. So maybe. You need to tell him that if he doesn't cut it out you will go to drastic measures. :{
I have a really close guy friend. He likes to poke or touch me in a teasing way to make me get 'mad'. There were a few instances when we were watching...

What pickup lines do you use to start a conversation with someone you are attracted to?
I think I use situations to start conversations...
If I'm approaching a female, I'd start by introducing myself, and following up with a compliment of why I had to introduce my self.
How do they typically respond?
If she is interested, she would ask questions, or make small talk while giving off some type of body language.
If she is not interested, she listens to whatever I say, and tells me something like she really into someone right now, but she appreciates the approach.
