Guys, when a girl busts your balls?

[PAfitgirl]

This guy I know flirts with me all the time, acts shy and awkward even though he's an outgoing confident guy. He's bought me chocolates 3 times. He shows off, makes jokes & then looks at me to see my reaction. People say he likes me bc he's always asking about me and where I am and he smiles at me. His best friend started to befriend me & treats me really nice & subtly teases him in front of me. Anyway when I flirt I tend to tease the guy like give him a little bit of a hard time, I'm def not mean and I've done it before & guys normally get turned on but with him he gets a little defensive and then I have to say "I'm just kidding" and then he jokingly says "you're always busting/breaking my balls Loreli" he says it with a smile on his face but he ALWAYS says it instead of teasing me back. What does he mean by that?

Breaking someone's balls is when you give them a hard time.

That's what you wanted to know, right?

[PAfitgirl]

No I knew that. I meant when a guy says it to a girl after she playfully teases him what does he mean? He always says it with a smile on his face but yet doesn't tease back or have a come back?

[reptocarl]

It means he really doesn't like it. By the way Loreli is one of my favorite songs by Styx

[PAfitgirl]

Really? Even if he says it with a smile on his face and always comes back to talk to me?

[reptocarl]

His fondness of you outweighs what you're doing to him. He's one of the more serious types

[PAfitgirl]

That's the funny part, he's not serious. He makes jokes out of everything and is always joking around with his friends and other girls. He makes jokes with me too but I don't know it's just differnt

[reptocarl]

He isn't used to a girl busting his balls and doesn't know how to respond, especially to you since you're his crush

[PAfitgirl]

Ok thanks! That helps a lot. Just wanted to make sure he doesn't hate me or think I'm mean otherwise I would stop. Thanks for your help :)

[reptocarl]

Good luck
