Caterina Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Do guys like you for who you are or something else? I've had it happen on a number of occasions...male friends I've been interested in reject me, but then later they act like they desperately want me back...this is long after I've moved on? Why is this? Do you think they want a challange? Do you think they just get lonely and desperate? If they actually liked me, why did they wait until I was over them to say anything? Link to comment
shikashika Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 yes i think people, not just guys, wnat what they can't have.. I've been in relationships where for the first month or so, i'm just seeing how it goes, and the guy is really into it..... then i think 'yeah he's a pretty neat guy.. i DO like him'... and then he dumps me because he's not into me..

ImThatGirl Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I've experienced it too. Guys that I was all about that didn't show "enough" response and I moved on. Then weeks, months, years later, I get a phone call talking about how I'm the only one that accepted them for them, that I'm the only one who wasn't judgemental, the love of their life. Maybe it's just that they take women for granted and don't realize that they do. Then they realize that a wonderful friendship / relationship is gone and they want it back. Maybe it's that they have difficulty realizing they had a good thing until it's gone... Guys? Any perception? Link to comment

I really think men do this more than women.... from what i've seen anyway it sucks.. Link to comment
vermilion Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Yes, I guess they take you for granted and then realize how you can be fine without them and they want you back. It's weird, but I can't think of many times when my girl friends have done this with guys. Because they already know what they want in a guy and if he has it or not. But one of my guy friends does this repeatedly to girls. And most of my other guy friends have done it at least once. A girl will show interest in them, they don't reciprocate, then regret it. It's weird... I guess they're more confused about their feelings? Link to comment
Caterina Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 Only women replied! I guess I shouldn't be so general, though. Link to comment
RufusDawes Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Well, of course girls don't do it. Because it is the man who has to make the phone call . When a girl says she is unsure when a guy asks her out, it is exactly the same thing. People can be indecisive, both men and women, but men and women have opportunities to be indecisive in different ways. Link to comment
