I would start by talking it out, explain to him that you need time to yourself. If that doesn't work then it's time to dump him. If he can't understand that, then it will get MUCH worse later on. definitely try to make it work though, its obvious that he cares for you, he's just a little mistrustful of women.

Well, today she told me that she's "almost ready", so that puts my mind at ease a little bit. At least I know she's somewhat serious about the whole thing.

Thats a very sticky situation. Do you like this person who likes you? If you do, I would go for it. Sure they say friends are forever, but if they can't handly you going out with someone they may have liked too, they probably aren't that good of a friend. If this person is really your best friend they should be happy for you and move on.

She probably meant exactly what she said, "you look like mark mcgurie." Sorry, but thats probably how it is, she was just making conversation. I've had girls tell me I look like famous people before, and it means nothing, they had boyfriends. And I mean girls who have never said a word to me.

Sorry, but it sounds as if she doesn't like you all that much if she's being that straightforward. Girls who play hard to get kind of "tease" about it instead of coming right out and saying it. I would ask her one more time to go do something with you, and if that doesn't work out just move on.

Turboz you are INDEED the voice of reason. But I don't think its entirely their fault. Its almost as if women flirt by default, like they can't help it.

I may have mis-interpreted your post, and if I did I'm sorry in advance. Long story short, if you have a so-called "friend" that doesn't want to hang out because they don't want to be seen with you, they are not your friends. They are scumbags. Find out her reasons for wanting to be around you even if she doesn't want to "hang out" with you if you must, but the best thing would be to avoid her alltogether. You don't need friends like that.

The above poster is right, don't pressure her for an answer. It may not be fair what shes doing, but you don't want to make her feel uncomfertable. Give her her space, but don't devote all your time to her for now. I would suggest trying to meet some other women in the meantime. Its not fair for her to keep you waiting like that. When a women says what she told you, she's basically saying: "Theres a reason I don't want to go out with you right now, but I do like you, and I don't want you going out with other women." If it was meant to be, she'll come around.

Ok, we both like each other, thats not the problem. She was all ready to go out with me until her old boyfriend who moved to Louisiana recently asked her to call him. Now shes all confused. She wants us to wait on getting together. The problem is, I have no idea when thats going to be. I don't know what to do. I really like her, but I'm afraid if I wait I might get hurt. I don't see her and her old boyfriend "getting back together", since he lives so far away now, I'm just confused. I figure the best thing to do would be to talk about it, but I don't even know how I would bring it up without sounding too pushy. The waiting is harder than it sounds, as I see her nearly everyday. The only thing keeping me going is that she couldn't possibly get back together with him.

The thing is, I'm not even sure if she wants to be friends with me. I can't help but think that she just told me I could call her so she wouldn't hurt my feelings. Is it common for girls to use that as a "technique without hurting the guy's feeling"? She doesn't try to talk to me at school anymore, and we're in the same class for one block. This is why I've been hesitant to call or try to contact her. I'm wondering if calling her would be weird or something, considering we don't talk at school now. I've been wanting to go up and say something to her, but I just can't. I'm doubting she'll talk to me at school again, so is calling her the answer? I'm just going crazy trying to interpret her response.
