Why would a guy act all macho around you?

[Anonymous]

He also acts like a smartass and cocky bad boy with me but he's not like this with other people. He's very nice to all the other girls. Sometimes I feel like he's trying to impress me by trying to he something he's not? Am I right? Why would he do this though? I love how he is with other people.

I used to be like that years ago and yeah that is terribly wrong.
Reason : I thought i was making myself look cool and shit.
As dumb as it sounds :D

I guess he believes it when people say girls only like bad boys.

[JosyJosy]

he thinks that works

Why would a girl make herself look good in front of the boy she likes? Same scenario.
