Should I back off?

[Anonymous]

I’ve had feelings for this guy for a few months and he knows I like him. I’m almost certain he likes me too but he hasn’t made any moves but we’ve gotten a little closer recently as friends and we flirt quite a bit. Since he knows I like him, he already knows he has me and I feel like he likes the attention. If I start acting more distant or less interested, will he begin pursuing me? I’ve decided I refuse from now on to be the sole pursuer in this situation. Or will that drive him away?

My friend told me he’s acted jealous when I’ve talked to other guys and he always asks/talks about me.

I'm sick of girls that play games like you're talking about playing. Maybe I'm just getting old and it's not fun anymore, but if I was him I'd lose interest fast if you started being a bitch because I'm not pursuing you

You said it yourself, he likes the attention. It may not be anymore than that

Or you're the girl of his dreams and he's afraid you'll reject him if he takes it beyond flirting

Women are strange. They can all but suck your dick and still reject us. It's happened to me and I'm sure it's happened to him

Make your intentions clear and go for it if you want him. Believe me, you'll look back on this in 10 years and think "Fuck, I should've just done something". Life is long as hell, but it's too short to play stupid games. Live a little

He would leave. Show interest and get into the things he likes. Ask him, let him show you. I've had such a situation before and the girl backed off and I just forgot she existed. The thing is I was probably just dumb back then and didn't get obvious hints (even when she directly mentioned that she likes me). So if you want him, try the aforementioned. If you're tired and done with pursuing, just back off and let him regret it in a couple of years. Have a nice day:)

Rather than reserving yourself for him like this, you should have a talk and ask him about his feelings towards you. Trying to perform your way into a relationship by getting him to chase you, or avoiding important conversations out of fear of driving him away will get you no where if he doesn’t have the intention to pursue a relationship with you. Flirting is just too general of a thing to tell if he’s genuinely interested, because some people are natural flirts or don’t do it intentionally.

Lol... He hasn't made any moves and you're not sure if he likes you.
But you like him for sure and you haven't done shit
