I have been seeing this guy for almost three months. He is a pretty closed off guy emotionally so I was very surprised this weekend when he began to open up a little bit. He wanted to know how my week was and he even told me that he doesn't think that he wants to sleep with other girls.Even my friend noticed that he was opening up to me by his actions. Ok, fast forward to Monday night. He tells me that he doesn't have feelings for me and that if I wasn't dating other guys because of him that would be crazy on my part. It totally crushed me because I was for sure that this guy had feelings for me. Everytime he would look in my eyes I could just tell but now I'm doubting myself. I'm really confused and upset right now. He tried to talk to me yesterday but I ignored his call. What is up with this guy? Should I just date other guys (even though I don't want to)?
BTW: Last month he confessed to my friend's boyfriend that he did like me but that he was scared but every time I try to talk about feelings he pushes me away and tells me that it's not like that.
By the sound of it he is trying to have his cake and eat it. You are perfect for him when you are with him but he doesn't want the commitment side of it. My opinion would be that if you carried on this way, you would get hurt as he'll carry on the same way.
I ignored his call because I was pissed. I know it wasn't the best thing, I just let my emotions get in the way. Any ideas on getting this guy to open up or at least tell me how he really feels? Thanks! :-) - 8 months ago
The best thing I think you can do in this situation is to just be upfront and honest with him. Really, what do you have to loose right? Its only been three months, and even though you like him a lot, its not going to crush your world if it doesn't work out, you know what I mean?
I would just have a talk with him, lay everything out on the table. It doesn't sound like your the "dating a bunch at the same time" type, I'm not either, so I can see where your coming from with this.
Just tell him how you feel, that you really like him and would love to see where this would go, but that he's giving you mixed signals and its really confusing. Ask him for his thoughts on it, every couple that's dating needs to have this conversation, even though sometimes it may be uncomfortable, you always have to know where the other person stands.
Its may be very true that he's pushing you away because he's scared, so by talking to him and expressing how YOU feel it may reassure him and stop the whole hot and cold thing.
OR maybe (and I hope not for your sake) he's just in it "for now" type deal. Not a rebound, but just someone for company until something else comes along. Its an awful thing to do no doubt but, it does happen, and its happened to me. It hurts like hell, but you have to be smart about dating these days and look at all the possibilities.
So in a nut shell, you have to let this guy know where you stand, how you feel, and where you want to go from here. And you have to get his feelings on those things too. You don't want to be strung along. Spare yourself later heartbreak and figure it out now before you get in too deep where it could potentially really crush you months later.
Thanks you so much! I am going to talk to him tonight and I'm so sorry for your heartbreak. Some guys don't know a good thing when it hits them. :-) - 8 months ago

You need to sit down and talk to him about how you feel and tell him that you need him to be honest so you know where you stand. Relationships are a two way thing and he needs to put an effort in as well.
Remember communication is key to a sucesseful relationship and people can not read your mind!
I would talk to him and tell him something along the lines of: "Look I really like you but I have got to be honest. You keep pulling close and pushing away and frankly I am getting tired of it. I would love to be in a relationship with you but if you don't think you can handle that than let me know. I'm not asking you to change I am just asking you to put some effort in." Don't expect him to talk about it then just let him marinade those thoughts in his head. If he still can't make an effort than it's just not the right time for him.
