How long should I ignore him?

I don't think you need to ignore him necessarily. I just think you need to stop asking him that. Because he may not hate YOU, but I'm pretty sure he hates you always asking him such a silly question, like that, all the time.

Especially since I find that most teenaged girls throw around the word "hate" a little too easily. If someone is annoyed, they immediately think that they "hate" them. They get mad at their parents, and suddenly, the words "I hate you" fly out of their mouths without but a thought. Believe it or not, a ton of guys really really dislike that. Even in teenage years. It's something that I've noticed to be far more prominent in girls, and always in a teenager, and if it extends past that, then the girl still hasn't matured past that stupid high school mentality.

So yeah, try to remove that word from your everyday vocabulary, or at bare minimum, stop asking him that stupid question, and that should easily be a massive improvement. If you want to give him some space, give him a week, tops. But don't "ignore" him, as that's seriously childish and immature. Then when you come back just don't ask him that, ever, EVER, again.

But again, I don't think you should ignore him, or give him space. Remember that.

Good luck.

How about behaving normally with him ? There's a whole range of feelings between love and hate, and maybe you should act normally to see how he really sees you ;)

Take a deep breath next time you talk to him, remember he doesn't hate you. I know that's one thing I hate, when I have to tell my boyfriend multiple times(usually when I'm upset with him on something or another) that I don't hate him. I actually told him he's not allowed to ask/say that lol. Next time you're with him, try for something light and fun, maybe have a movie/videogame/whatever hang out date. When you feel the urge to ask him this, remember, take a deep breath, count to 100, or if you cool down before, talk to him about something else, don't allow yourself to go down that path. What makes you think he hates you anyway?

There's no need for ignoring though, then he'll simply be confused and think you're angry with him and it'll turn into a whole dramatic mess neither of you want.

Guys hate repeating themselves. Why do you keep asking him if he hates you?

Are you trying to make him hate you?

well just keep talking to him do something that you know he likes then if he looks at you a certan way then you know if he hates you or not and I would say that if you think that you need to give it at least 5-6 days.
