Search Results: friend is angry with me over guy

I asked a guy out we both seem to like each other , but he was a bit weird about it. At that point i forgot about it.

Then, a month later her asked me out shyly and i was interested though a bit caught off guard bc of his earlier behavior. I genuinely had plans, so i had to tell him that.

After several weeks of hanging out with friends as we often do , I got the feeling he was still interested based on his behavior and things he said. I tend to down play signs so as not to assume wrongly, so I was not sure.

I also, wanted to make a decision as to if id move on or not as we have known each other over a year. So one day after playing chess, I asked him out. Which to me seems 100% rational.

He responded exasperated, as if i he had asked me 100 times and I kept saying no.

OR as if he had said no 100 times and i had asked him 101 times.

It does not make sense, and I do not like him insinuating i am out of line for simply asking him if he wants to hang out. I am not in a rush, I do not mind waiting but waiting -in the case he is interested, is entirely different than just wasting time-in the case he is not interested.

Why should not i ask and why should not he tell me.. I feel like i am in the twilight zone. He was perfectly friendly moments before , how can he get angry so quickly.

Some guys suggested he is angry bc i am not letting him chase me. Well, i guess if he wants a chase that is his choice and no one is forcing him to go after someone who does not want to be chased. It does not explain him getting angry. I am not into games, am i expected to change who i am?

I only asked twice and only bc he was not clear HOWEVER, I have seen guys suggest ask until you get a hard no-so you can move on with no doubt. Sounds logical. I am not against this, though it seems this is not meant for Women. We are supposed to just guess or wait or roll over and play dead until the guy says sit?

My friend started shipping us, as she thinks we're cute together, and we apparently "flirt" but I don't think we do we're just being friendly. I'd ask my other friends but I feel like they'd just say he does to annoy me.

He calls me names, like "midget" and "elmo" because I apparently remind him of elmo. He then always empathizes how short I am, even though there's a girl in our friendship group who's shorter than me. He'll say stuff to me like: "I swear you've shrunk" "You are so small" "Every towers over you" He'll also take my things, and knowing I'm too small to get them off him and then he'll laugh at me and give them back.

But apart from that he's also caring towards me. Like when he thought he upset me, (he did) he apologized and said "I didn't mean to upset you, I feel bad now". He also didn't hit me with a snowball in when our friendship group had a snowball fight, saying he wouldn't hit me because it's unfair on me. And I have really bad hay fever so when I came to class, and it looked like I was crying he was really concerned. But friends do that anyway, so my friend is delusional I guess.

My friend says she finds it cute how when we were washing cars for a fundraising event, he splashed me with water once by accident, then of course I was angry so I chased him with a sponge and he the deliberately threw half a bucket of water on me, which made me chase him angrily even more, but it was a hot day so I dried off.

My friend thinks he likes me and made us a ship name and everything but I just don't see it. I've come here to get an unbiased opinion so please... Help me?
