Being liked

[m444]

I'm interested, if a guy liked you once and you haven't been together, does this mean he will always have a ''special place'' for you in his mind?

[mhowe]

A bit too general.....

 

If by liked, you really mean liked (not in love, not a relationship) --- no, it doesn't mean he will alway have a special place in his mind/heart.

 

As time goes by, and as people move on --- there simply isn't enough room to remember everyone from your past in a "special place".

No, but of course depends on the individual situation.

[Tanzi]

That is a very vague question. It could depend on a lot of things. Most likely, they'll forget about you when someone else comes along. They might still be attracted to you somewhat if they see you again but as to whether they "like" you in any particilar way would depend on so many things.

I liked Jennifer Aniston once and like her again. I have a special place for her in my heart although the restraining order prevents me from seeing her

[gxzone]

In my opinion, if you've never been together, as either friends or more, then no, a special place does not develop strong enough and more often than not, you are eventually forgotten.

 

I remember the girl I liked for 3 years in high school, even went on one date with her, but it didn't work out and she is only special in that she was the girl I liked in high school - there is nothing very emotional beyond that.

 

Without getting to know the person, no, I don't think you will be remembered 'specially'.

[BigKK]

There is no "special place" usually, often its a crush...If nothing develops, the crush goes away.

 

I know plenty of people I was sort of interested in, and now can't even remember why or how I ever found them interesting.

[and so it goes]

One always has a special place in one's heart for the ones who got away.

[m444]

We are kinda friends now. I'm just wondered, if there's a bit 'What if..' that will stay there. for example, I always remember people I had a spark with. no matter how long ago it was, I always remember it with a smile. and I guess not everybody is like that.

 

By ''liking'' I mean good chemistry and that you've absolutely positive that they like you, all the signs, sparks or you hear it from their best friend. or all combined

 

It is a generalization, I just wanted to hear different opinions

[wsim]

Over the years, women that I once held in higher regard or had a "special place" in my heart no longer are. Many women who I once had interest but they never showed the same, I had gradually grown apart and moved on. There was once a girl that I had feelings for and hoped things would work out between us but she eventually turned me down when I asked her to be my girlfriend. We barely ever talk nowadays, even though she is moving to my city in a few months. Things just aren't the same anymore, despite agreeing to be friends, which we really aren't.

 

There are only a few women that I had known before where I still keep in contact with (no much, mind you).

 

It is quite clear that I have grown very jaded when it comes to relationships/dating. For me, the ones that I had liked never were interested. I do not think they would ever change their mind either.

[m444]

ooh, sorry to hear that. why do you think that happens?

[notalady]

I think it very much depend on the person. I personally don't hold a "special place" for anyone from the past, nor do I think anyone from my past does (if they do, I wouldn't know. Ok I think maybe one of my ex's from 8 years ago does because he still randomly messages me occasionally to see how I'm doing even though we don't keep in touch and not staying friends, just a guess, but either way I don't really care lol).

 

I think for the most part, people just move on, feelings fade away and that's just that.

[imsuperman]

NO special place if I dug them and they didn't feel the same. I get over things like that quick now, though I didn't use to.

[John John]

It depends. If it was a girl who genuinely made an impact on me, even if we only dated for a relatively short period of time, I'd probably still think about her fondly every now and then.

 

If it's just a girl that I once had a crush on, that fades away over time. I had the hots for this one girl almost all throughout college...I couldn't care less about her now.

[trust101]

Yes, my first crush. It was almost a decade ago. We never got together but I still think about her sometimes, very rarely though. I never even found out if she liked me back as I had moved away.
