*Do I play hard to get?

I have a crush on this guy named Rob. We are good friends and actually talk on the phone alot. The other day I asked him if he ever though of being anything more than friends and (of course) he said that he just pictured me as a friend. I said that was ok and at the time that is how i felt. I figured i'd be better off having him as a good friend than to not have him at all. But i still think i like him. And it's hard for me to figure out how he feels. I know he said he just wants to be friends but a lot of times a guy starts to like a girl when she accepts just being friends. I've tried to back of because when i liked him and we both knew it, i felt that there were times i got on his nerves. So i've tried backing off and i'm trying to read how he acts and figure out if he likes me. When i call he sounds excited when he answers the phone and we have even talked to each other about some personal stuff. He recently told me about him and this girl he was trying to go out with and how she broke his heart. he told me a secret that I can't tell anyone so that shows he trusts me but he's also said that it's nice to have someone you can talk to and not have to watch what you say. That's how he feels about me i guess. What i need to know though is what do i do to get him to like me. or do i just give up and be his friend?

come on guys

Nevr give up . . . I'd like to start off by saying - you're possibly one of the first people that I've seen with this sort of post that shows some kind of basic love for the person - by not telling his secret, to people he doesn't even know . . .thats pretty hardcore :) Ok . .that over with, the advice. Heh, I've never been in that situation - though slightly similar I have to admit, talk to him. You say you've been watching his body language, and it seems that he likes you - you got through this situation together before - so you should be able to get through it again. I say, hint at it in conversation, and see if he notices, after that, he'll either get closer or back off. Good luck xXx

thanx. i guess your right but i don't want to get my hopes up...again.

no offence but your just being stupid.... he said he didn't thinkof you as more than a friend but you keep pushing him trying to figure out what he's already told you. just give it up

No . . don't get your hopes up . . always expect the worst. That way - what happens can't ever be that bad. I agree, he has already told you that he doesn't want to be more than a friend, but he may have changed. I made a big mistake in telling one of my closest friends how I felt about them, and now they've got fairly distant, I haven't seen them over the entire holiday (2 weeks) and I'm really paranoid about what they think - though the situation is slightly different. I guess what I'm saying is, be weary of your personal situation, but follow both your heart and mind. Balance them - if your heart says yes, and your mind says no, then hint at it - but if both say yes or no, then do or don't go ahead . . .

Peace. [Sole]

He told you he only likes you as a friend, and he is treating you as a friend. don't push him into forcing himself to like you.

usually sitautions like this, the guy is too late...i kno wats going to happen! Yu like him now n he says he just wants to be friends but as soon as you move on and get involved with other guys sooner or later he will be feeling the same way yu felt but he'll be TOO LATE!

{[good luck]} JUST FOLLOW YUR HEART!!!

Well, if he told you he liked a girl that broke his heart, I'm guessing that isn't you.

But what you have to do is continue to be there for him, but if he doesn't get a hint, don't push him, just move on.

I'm pretty sure that, forgive me for useing such a lame cliche, but the ball is in his court now. He's knows how you feel, nad if he's ready and he knows he likes you, then maybe something will happen. Don't bug him about it.. but of course, that doesn't mean that you have to sit around nad wait for him! If he doesn't realize what a great person you are, then maybe it's time to look for someone else. Or maybe he is the right one for you, but the timing is not right. just hang in there! Sometimes a person has got to experience something not so good before he can truly appreciate the great ;D

I don't want you to get your hopes up, but you shouldn't give up because it could happen. My ex was my best guy friend and i told him personal things and he told me the same. He even told me his deepest secret and i told him mine. His ex had broken his heart and i was there for him. The more we talked (just as friends) the closer we got and eventually he asked me out. Before he ever asked me out, he said he only liked me as a friend. Be patient and something might just happen. If nothing happens within a certain period of time, move on. That's all i can really say. I'm sorry i couldn't help more.

Just be his friend, that's what he said he wants. Don't wait for him to change his mind, because I really doubt that he will.
