Will a guy who likes you try and get revenge for you?

[Anonymous]

I like this guy we can call him John. John and I are video games together a lot. I really like him and it seems sometimes like he likes me and sometimes like he is indifferent to me.

It seems as if he is progressively becoming more and more indifferent to me though. But some things he does just really throw me off. I used to think he liked me back but now I can't tell if he likes me and is hiding it or maybe he never liked me at all or maybe he used to like me and is now losing interest. Though one thing he has been doing way more often is (in games) acting out revenge for me. Like today we were playing with some people and one of them was being mean to me and I jsut messaged him saying that I didn't like that person. And he messaged me back saying he would kill them in a really scummy way which u honestly enjoyed because the person was really an ahole. And also that same day he killed someone in the game we play for ignoring me and let me live and when they complained about him showing favoritism he just basically said that they should have answered my question. Another day we were playing a fighter game and one of the people killed me really fast and I didn't get a single hit in and he just said "don't worry cel, I'm going to embarass them for you"

He does nice stuff like that and personally I do not try and defend just any old friend in game to the point of wanting to get revenge for them unless I like them... I was wondering could he possibly be doing the same thing and would you as a man do these type of things if you were not interested in the person you were doing it for?

Also as a side note I never asked him to do any of those thing.

First off, he's not angry and it's not really "psycho" because the whole goal of the game is to kill the enemy so they were going to die anyway but he jsut says that he will get them for me or just kills the person who is being an ahole to me *first*

Yeah guys like to do that, and doing it in games is a common way a timid or shy guy will do it, so there might be something there.

But from the way that you describe it, it honestly seems like you're just friends.

Thank you

That’s a dangerous game being played most people don’t do that

[Asker]

They are shooter/ fighter games not actually getting revenge in people in real life.

[Iron_Man]

Ok.;

[readyplayer001]

its possible or its the competition of the game

[Asker]

Do you think there is any way for me to determine if he's jsut being competitive? I kind of don't want to flat put ask jsut jn case he doesn't feel the same way thn I'll ruin our friendship or make things awkward

[readyplayer001]

i get that, how does he treat you when you aren't playing games like does he tease you?

[Asker]

Sometimes he does tease me but I did notice he is really sensitive to my feelings like if he says something that he thinks hurt my feelings he always says sorry though most of the time I don't don't get my feelings hurt.

[readyplayer001]

he may very well be crushing on ya

[Avicenna]

He might, yes

[IncognitoBandito]

I suppose if he's angry and psycho enough

[Asker]

He's not angry when he does it. Are you angry when you play shooter/fighter games? I think revenge is the wrong word he is more defending me.

Someone has anger issues

[Asker]

He doesn't really get angry tbh. I've only seen him get angry a few times and that is nowhere near anger. I don't know about you but I don't feel angry at the people I kill when I'm playing games and I'm sure neither does he. Othing out of the ordinary is going on the game is being played as intended however if someone's kind of an asshole to me he kills them first which I always felt was really nice of him because it doesn't really feel good to be playing with people who jsut want to be an asshole to you.
