beating around the bush, its what it always is Options

[expoised]

i have to take my frustration out somewhere. might as well be here.

basically i like this guy, and he keeps hinting that he likes me. and then he goes on to tell me about this incredible date he had the other day, and just to get back i tell him about the incredible guy that i have a humongous crush on (which i don't... i basically drag back old crushes and rub it in his face). and so it goes back and forth and back and forth.

and then... we were joking around and so i asked him out (b/c it was a joke... inside joke with someone else. really weird, but yeah). and he's like "OF COURSE I WANNA GO OUT WITH YOU" (but it was a joke... see?) and then we're like laughing about it and inside i'm thinking "but... i'm serious". and i have no clue what he's thinking.

and i really wanna say something, but i dont wanna ruin this incredible friendship that we have. and so its all frustrating.

idk if that made sense... hey, it's 1am give me a break.

As anubis said it, girls tend to overanalyze guys. And this is coming straight from the mouth of a girl.

How do I know that? Because I've been in the same situation. I liked this guy more than just friends, but he didn't. And we always joked around and complemented each other. I waited for him outside his classes, he walked me to my locker and home countless times. And I really thought that liked me in that way. But when I told him about it, he said that he only saw me as a really good friend that he can have fun with. And naturally, I asked him then if he didn't like me, why did he walk me home and to my locker? And he said that he was doing that because he was being nice to me. Ah well. We remained good friends up to this day; he has a girl that he's chasing after. And he's helped me through the breakup with my ex. We're on very good levels...on some level, I think he's a better friends than my other friends.

What I'm trying to say is, you're probably overanalysing the whole thing. He likes you, yes, but not in the same way that you like him. He sees you as a cool girl that he can have lots of fun with without worrying too much about what he does or says. You're his good friend. But that's all that he sees you as. I'd talk to him about it, but don't be too heartbroken if he really doen't like you in the same way that you liked him.

But you know, sometimes, the best relationship between a guy and a girl is to just remain good friends. ^^
