Theres this guy at my school, I REALLY like him and I've told him exactly how I feel. One day we were on the bus, on the way to a football game, and he told me that he liked me too. Now that he told me that, everything is all weird between us. And he alwayz reminds me that he likes me but, he never does anything about it. He also likes this other girl but, IDK. He flirts with me and stuff like that...I don't know what Im supposed to do to find out if he really likes me or if its really gonna go anywheres. I dont wanna talk to him and make myself look like a complete idiot. And I dont want to hold on if theres nothing there and theres never gonna be anything...He got really mad at me for goin to my sis' boyfriends and watchin a movie with his cousin. I mean, my god!! If he wants me so bad, why dont he just take me?? I guess what I want to know is...how do u know if a guy really likes you and do you think i should just let go..and if so, how do i do that? Thanx for your help in advance!!

If this guy really is a player you shouldnt hold on any longer (but flirtings okay!). Say he goes out with you for a wile, but then dumps you prepare for major cry!

OneMan answered Thursday December 4 2003, 5:26 pm: This one is simple. He's trying to tell you he likes you by becoming kealous of some of the things you do. BUT, apparently, it's not enough for him to make a commitment. And you know what? I don't think he will. You said he likes another girl, as well. Hmmm, I wonder if she knows how he feels about HER without a doubt. I actually believe he may be holding you in limbo for security, in the event that what he has with her doesn't work the way HE thinks it should. As for when to hold on and when to let go... anytime you find yourself having to ask the question should I leave....it's time. [ OneMan's advice column | Ask OneMan A Question ]
ScaperJess answered Thursday December 4 2003, 4:03 pm: What is it you’re waiting for? He seems to be hinting to you he likes you... Are you waiting for him to ask you out? Because you know it's now expectable for girls to ask out guys, and my guess is that is what he is waiting for. Time for you to step up to the bat and swing, you need to ask him out, otherwise he might just give up, assuming you don't like him anymore. Honestly that is the only way to know for sure if he likes you and also the one sure-fire way to get things moving forward... Go for it!! It's all you now...

Celena answered Thursday December 4 2003, 3:37 pm: What is with people not signing their names, or at least an alias, to questions? As of this question I'm going to re-name anyone who doesn't include some sort of a name myself. Starting with you, Humberta.
Well, Humberta, The only way you are ever going to know if this guy likes you is to call up a psycic hotline and ask them to read his mind for you.
Get real.
Obviously, you're going to have put looking like an idiot on the line and ask him where he feels his interest in you is going. Tell him that you feel he isn't giving you enough attention to sustain a relationship at present. Also, tell him what your expectations and interests with and in him are. If he consents to an exclusive relationship and forgets that other girl, good for you. If not, also good for you, because you get to pull yourself out of what looks like it's turning into a never ending cycle of mindgames and emotional crap.
As for letting go, there's about a million articles, books, TV movies, help ads and programs on letting go, which, of course means - None of them work. There is one tried and true method to letting go: Time and separation.
