...Boys are Weird...

<p>actually... i think i could explain my actions well, but i'm no good when it comes to other people... no matter what sex. So what was the issue with the boy? something about patting you on the head?</p>

<p>I can try :) ...</p>

<p>Umm, something like that, lol. Basically, it's a sort of "on and off" thing. Half the time, he's really friendly, giving me compliments and joking around...the other half, he barely says hi in the halls. I mean, for example, we had this Thanksgiving community project called the Feast of Sharing, and we both went to volunteer, serving food, throwing away trash, and stuff like that. He'd be really considerate, holding doors open for me (even if I was the one who had opened the door for him), refusing to let me carry anything remotely heavy, stuff like that... But then, half the time, he would hardly talk, even if I asked him what was wrong. The other half, especially if we were with friends, he'd be laughing and joking around. <em>Sighs</em> That's the kind of thing that confuses girls, and the reason I made this thread.</p>

<p>DualAnya...I know a guy like that too. He confuses me soo much. Sometimes I wish he would just come out and say whatever he has to say, rather than just joking around with me all the time.</p>

<p>Yeah, I know! Because you can never quite tell what he's thinking, if he's joking or flirting or just being friendly, and YOU don't want to say anything about it for fear of taking it the wrong way. So, what's YOUR guy done, Diana?</p>

<p>Let's see...my guy would always scream my name in the hallway, even if he's at the other end..just to say hi. And then in class, he would always make funny jokes just to get my attention. And then he would write notes and put it in my books, or like write something on a sticky note and then stick it on me. Then one time in class he put hearts all over one page in my spiral and wrote this male teachers name in it, so it was as if I likes that teacher, but I didn't. And then he would just joke around with that a lot, and if the teacher wasn't in class, he would be like "I bet you're sad that so-and-so isn't here today." And he would put notes in my locker. And then in class, he would take my stuff. And even one day, he wrote my name on the blackboard and stuff...just saying some silly stuff. And then like he wouldn't let me erase it, and whenever I tried to take the eraser things he would put it behind his back. Then I would try to grab it from behind his back, and he would move it again...and then the teacher told me to sit down...a little injustice in that. That's not even half of what he's done.</p>

<p>He's always flirting with me...and I'm just a little tired of it.</p>

<p>that sounds like FUN, tho!! haha :D</p>

<p>That's sweet, though, Diana! It seems as if he likes you. Of course, you can never quite tell with guys, but I'd put my money on "subtly crushing you."</p>

<p>yeah...and i think knowing that someone has a crush on you is so much better than knowing you have a crush on someone. :)</p>

<p>Agreed! ^_^</p>

<p>Double agreed ;) lol</p>

<p>Hey DualAnya, I went through almost the same exact thing. After a while i got so tired of it I just asked him why he had those "mood swings" straight up. He was surprised at first but then he told me it was because he was just acting on MY "mood swings". I never noticed that that had been the case. So after that I just tried to be in a good mood around him and it worked! </p>

<p>Oh and I asked him out too, haha. Maybe that had something to do with it? :p</p>

<p>Lol...so, who else want's to share their juicy sob-stories?</p>

<p>Let me add onto my sub-story. I don't understand this guy at all!!! It would seem like he likes me, then why does he hug other girls...and then I see...and then he acts like it was nothing :mad:?!!?</p>

<p>Oh, that's so cool, Lily! Did he accept?!</p>

<p>Yep he did.:) But that isn't the matter, the matter is, sometimes there is a guy or too who acts accordingly to the way you act. I didn't know that!!!</p>

<p>Hmm, Diana...personally, I think he's just as confused as you are. I still think that he likes you, but maybe he just isn't sure if you reciprocate. Maybe he hugs other girls to see and measure your reaction. I suppose the best way to figure it out is to ask, but it's so hard! I mean, rejection is such a huge fear for most of us (MYSELF DEFINITELY INCLUDED).</p>

<p>Yup, I completely agree, Lily. I mean, looking back, maybe he didn't say hi or start conversations, but at the same time, neither did I. Maybe he WAS acting according to my moods...something to ponder over Thanksgiving vacations!</p>

<p>But I talked to one of his friends to find out who he likes...but he wouldn't tell her?! My friends tell me he likes me...but then...he does that. Like I don't mind that he hugs other girls...but it's like an everyday thing.</p>

<p>Gosh, if it's causing you this much emotional stress, I think you should confront him! I mean, you don't have to tell him outright that you like him, just ask him what's up. Or else get one of your friends to drop hints, like "What's up with you and Diana? She get's all confused sometimes."</p>

<p>Exactly. Confront him. See where it gets you.</p>
