Why do guys always act like jerks to the girl, even though you know they care?

He's probably or actually most definitely just a jerk. Like normal people don't act like jerks. so yeah.

You fell (and are still) in love with this guy. You should look in the mirror and ask yourself why you are attracted to this type of guy.

It doesn't matter why he does it, you are the one choosing to be with him. If you are just friends now and don't like how you are being treated, meet another dude and move on.

I know you are sensitive so please don't cry when you read this. You used to date but now you are NOT (I'm sure there is a good reason for that). He is still friends with you because he does not want to hurt you. He is acting like a dick because he does not want you as his girlfriend. Why are you leading yourself on? Get over it! Sorry about the cold truth.

The answer is simple. That's how we want to appeal to girls... I think. It's a caveman thing. It's built into every man. I admit that I act like that pretty often too, it just comes out. Sorry if we hurt anybody :D

maybe its because he is scared of falling in love or scared of losing you so he acts like a jerk . or maybe he just is a jerk and you guys aren't meant to be

He wants drama and excitement.
but he needs to realize that that's not the way to get it and you're not the kind of girl for that.
rethink why you even associate yourself with him - is it just because he's around? Because that's not a good enough reason. Sounds to me like you need to kick him to the curb.

Sometimes a man don't want to get close and don't want to get hurt just as well as you do or it could be he is a real ass you need to sit down with him and tell him how's he's making you feel if he changes keep him but if he don't kick his ass to the curb.

When girls cry, it shows the guy how much you really care... I think he's just trying to test your love for him.

I think boys do that because they wanna see how much a girl truly cares about them- that's how my boyfriend is. I wonder the same thing- maybe they really care about you, and wants to know if you feel the same way about them.

I feel you girlie, I wanna know the same thing, cause this boy at my school says that he cares but than again he is so mean to me.

I don't know why guys are like that but somehow they are probably trying to see what is really on your mind cause I have a person who is doing that too and his name is david.
