Males (Boys..).

And their behavior. So, here’s my situation at the moment. I have this male… friend. He’s the most attractive, and the most interesting person I have ever met, and, of course, I really like him. He knows. However, his behavior changes so often, I have no idea what he actually wants. At one point, he’s treating me as a friend… a guy friend to whom you can go for girl trouble. A few minutes later… or the next time we hang out, it’s pretty random… he treats me like he’s interested. Then he acts all emo and tells me he doesn’t treat me well enough…(which by the way also makes me emo: I’m somewhat empathetic, and when someone around me gets very emotional, I tend to echo it, unless I really focus on not doing that, and if I go emo, I start feeling a bit guilty for not giving him his space….) and then he goes back to talking about video games and various things. And then, for the last few times, he hangs out with me but he spends the first ten minutes or so complaining about hanging out with me… which has really been pissing me off. A lot. My problem is, I guess, is that I really want to turn the tables. I want him to chase me. However, I have never learned how females do it. How do you attract guys? I mean, on purpose, when you just want to mess with their head? And how do you make them interested and keep them interested? I know this seems weird- usually this is passed on mother to daughter, or girl to girl… but I’ve really, never done it. I’ve always been rather antisocial, and so far in all my relationships, which have been very few, I have been very straightforward with my feelings. So… What do I do about him? And about my idea?

If he doesn’t, then why does he play with me like that?

He often says things that suggect that we may have a relationship… but we don’t just yet. Together with some actions that basically mean the same thing, that keeps bothering me…

okay some guys just want to lie to you and say they love you when in reality they dont they just want to get you to believe them so they can get really close to you and get in your pants then some times they leave you then sometimes they stay with you but cheat on you with other little girls who are like whores and the type of girls that hurt them … but i think that you should just try to act like your not so interested in him anymore and then flirt with other guys in front of him and see if he gets mad …

Maybe… The thing is, I want to play with his head, rather than try other guys… it’d be more fun. However, I’ve never tried anything like that before… which is what I’m looking for advice on.

THISFIRE: I have to agree with your opinion on game players. That is the reason I was, up until now, straightforward in all of my relationships. Now, Darren on the other hand…..See, Darren- he’s been screwing with me for so long, I want at least a shred of revenge. I usually don’t play games. More like.. never play games. I am usually very straightforward with my feelings, and I do my best to ensure I don’t lead people on, at all. Even for my amusement. Even playing hard to get is something I keep to a minimum time period. So, I don’t see my desire to mess with him as really bad…. however, if you really think it will get me nowhere… I will probably acquiesce to your advice.
