Why do guys ignore the girls they like? I mean like seriously what gives!!!!!

[MiaChan]

Its really bugging me a lot. I met up with this guy at a mutual friends party, we hit it off real nice and we had a lot of things in common, he took my number and we chatted on the phone and texted a lot and hung out together with the same friends. He always said this a lot that "you're so cool, I've never met a girl like you, I like you a lot or I would love to marry you" (of course I didn't say I would wanna marry you too because we aren't in any relationship & he hasn't even asked me out yet! so I thought maybe he's a bit shy & is testing the waters before asking me out so I always gave a positive response like I think you're cool & awesome too. But when he said I would love to marry you few times I said how would you know Because we aren't even dating so all he said was "Well you never know", but he & I would still chat and text, lately he's ignoring me a lot like if I text him he doesn't even reply, I only text once so I'm not some texting stalker, so I texted him lets hang out and he didn't reply. He's not dating anybody else because I asked my friends who know him real well and he also said he's not with any1. He definitely liked me more than a friend but now he's so cold. Why do guys ignore the girls they like! and OK people even if you don't have any idea for my situation then at least answer the main question as to why guys ignore the girls they like on purpose!

also I went on vacations to France because my granny lives there so I've had this french sim I switch to because its cheaper and he asked my friend to give him my other number so that he would speak to me there and he called me there too! he doesn't ignore me in front of our friends though, but like he's drifting away on a personal level , and people don't bother giving mean answers that he ain't givin you any attention blah blah all I'm askin is y do guys do this sometimes or often whichever way you put it.

hes got the exact reaction he wanted...he has made you realize that even you like him...if you didn't you would not have cared so much...its a strategy that worked well for him...i think you should ask yourself why you were so curious as to why he doesn't talk to you anymore and the fact that you still wanted to text him and hang out shows you actually cared most girls don't if they don't like the person...just ask yourself this question...the guy loves you a lot and I think you have started to...i am a very romantic person and understand love stories very well I always help out my friends in their relationships and have always had a positive result...its a different story that I could not work all that out in my life, I was deeply in love with a girl and she didn't care the right thing to do is what your guy has successfully done but I found it very difficult and thus now she doesn't even talk to me...i think your guy has done a great job and I know he loves you and you do to all the best to you both...Again this only what I think I'm not telling you that you love him I'm just telling what I think and all I want is for you to ask yourself this question

hmm but why can't he be man enough and step up instead of playing these dumb childish ignoring games uggggh

[grg9smith]

BECAUSE HE WANTS YOU TO BEHAVE LIKE THIS AND SAY UGGGGH...He wants you to think abt him

I ignore the girls I like on purpose ( not in real life , I'm talking about texting / Facebook / phone calls mostly ) because I ask girls what I should do , and they say that I must wait for that amount of days before sending another text , or I should ignore them a couple of days . because a guy that seems too interested is seen as desperate and no challenge - and it's a turn off so it seems...

however

this does only concern INITIATION of contact. I would never ignore a girls text / phone call or whatever if she initiates... the only thing I would sometimes do is wait a minute or 5 to reply :p

I don't, it's just a silly mind game that wouldn't work... People do it to have some sort of false 'control' Either that or they were interested but have the attention span of a pineapple.

hey I love anime too, can you make anime faces out of ppls pics?

[Jonny_]

I can draw people as anime characters, granted it takes me a bit of time, moreso now with my work... But yes it's possible.

[MiaChan]

yea that's what I meant, aryt cool! I mean like if someone gives you a pic of theirs and you make it into an anime face like big cutsey eyes etc

[Jonny_]

Yep, I've even done one on webcam before, it was far more basic a sketch though...

Had a similar experience with a girl from work a couple of years ago who was older than me and I felt she was waaay out of my league but still liked me for some reason. I would ignore her because It made me feel good when she would text or call me first just so I knew she was still thinking about me even if it drove me crazy waiting

BUT sometimes when we were texting I would start a reply delete it put my phone down think of what to say or get distracted and so much time would go by coming up with lies every single time about being busy doing something just got old so I woudnt reply at all. She thought I was trying to ignore her and play games but I was just over analysing my own responses.

Also whenever I was stoned which was a night or two a week I would completely ignore her because I didn't want to say something stupid and she wasn't a big fan of weed

[Radford]

Ok if I like a girl I would never ignore her.Heck no for sure I would always be interested in her.Of course if I like her...So guys do because there deauces.Me personally I don't if I like you I pressue you :)

Because..if a guy (read person) shows their hand too early it can convince the member of the opposite gender that they should set their goals higher...a dumb game...in a way...but ..it's also Mother Nature's game...so I cannot argue it...only express frustration from time to time...but..I sometimes wonder how many potential wonderful relationships got torched..only because one or the other of the sexes made an inadvertent ...er...slip?

BS. when a guy gives you the attention, you have what you want. this guy isn't giving you attention so guess who's in your head?...him!

girls are like if you ignore them you complaint of being ignored and if you look at them you complaint of giving too much attention
