Can a guy genuinely like you but still reject a relationship, and why?

[Gamer20282]

There was this guy who hasn't dared yet and I confessed, he never said he didn't like, but didn't say he liked me, but after the confession, it went nowhere cause we talked for a month and then he said he isn't ready for a relationship but a year before he acted all yk, staring till me or my friends looked his way or trying to sit nearby me in uni

Yes of course. Like he said maybe he’s not ready for a relationship yet. Whether that’s financially or mentally, or something else. Could also be that he just got out of a bad relationship so again mentally speaking he’s not ready. Could also be how he sees you. Like I’ve seen a lot fine men who I thought were gorgeous, women that I’d that that I thought, if she wasn’t a wh*re she’d be who I’d love to be w. Maybe he’s seen her use men before, so as much as he likes her based off her looks, persists wise she’s a bad person. Maybe someone told him something about her, a rumor. Maybe he found smelled else who is much prettier. There’s a lot of reasons.

So u judge pretty women by whores but fine men aren't whores? U sexist, don't need no opinion from u

[Opinion Owner]

lol and women wonder why men don’t talk. You want men to be honest, then you get offended. Of course a lot of men judge women like that. Most aren’t going to say it because of responses like yours, or afraid of being cancelled or shamed online or a number of other things. But yes most men don’t want a girl who’s a whore. To a man who’s worth something it’s an embarrassment. It’s a stain on his name, his family, their kids if they had kids.

No, I'm saying u called pretty girls whore, and pretty men fine, ur a misogynist. Women don't want misogynistic men, so that skill issue on ur side and whatver men ur around cause if u called a pretty girl whore infront of my friends, u gonna get beaten up,

[Gamer20282]

And don't worry u guys talk plenty, right.., hardly any man talks less, that's smth u guys can't stop, that's talking,

[Opinion Owner]

lol saying what a lot of men like doesn’t mean I’m a misogynist. Why don’t you have an actual disagreement than just hating what was said then resorting to misogyny. You asked a question. I gave an answer as far as what a lot of men don’t like now I’m a misogynist lol you don’t like it because you’re sleeping the block block?

[Still-alive]

Yes those are called avoidants. they'll go as far with you up until its ready to actually commit to you then they pull away. it sucks but thats how they be

[WhitneySnow]

He’s not ready to commit. Did you do anything sexual with him?

[Gamer20282]

Nope, nth physical

[WhitneySnow]

He’s just not interested in a relationship

[Gamer20282]

Thought so,

[NathanDavis]

yes... to like someone is just ONE factor of at least, a dozen of factors that should be considered for a BETTER relationship

there's a whole lot of things involved in these situations... and it could be more than just things about the relationship, but also about himself alone... or even you, in particular

[NathanDavis]

for example... I remember this one time, this one girl I went out with... because I really liked her, but she never told me about one thing

she took off her jacket, and I could very clear see a supremacist tattoo lmfao... what the fuck?

really a "great" girl at the moment, but obviously... that one thing alone is a very clear sign that there was just more to her, and obviously nothing good at all about that one thing

[ChicoFromThe305]

I suppose it's possible just unlikely to not want to move things forwards unless he likes moving slow on serious things

[Staximus]

Sounds like he just has no balls, is a coward, or a socially inept bumbler

[Staximus]

If you wait around for somebody, you're going to be waiting around forever. When people really want somebody or something they'll make it happen

[Gamer20282]

Ikr I just worry cause what if he tried and I was blind to it cause I'm not good socially, you'll flirt to my face and I won't get it

[Sammy098]

Maybe he likes you as a friend or he loves somebody else

[Gamer20282]

He said he had a crush on someone else but didn't act like it, and his friends also came up to me once saying whats going on between u too, I didn't even talk to him regularly at that point.
