Just friends?

Just friends?

Question:

I like this guy and well we’re friends, but he always sends mixed signals, one day he’s my friend the other day he wants to hook up other days he says he likes me or does sweet stuff, and truly I don’t know what to do, I really like him but I don’t want to walk into a trap to get hurt. What can I do?

Answer:

It’s always annoying when someone plays games with your heart. It’s difficult to figure out where you stand when you aren’t sure what another person is thinking. My dear Adriana, I feel your pain and uncertainty brought about by this guy’s mixed signals.

It sounds to me that this guy doesn’t know what he wants. One day he’s telling you he just wants to be your friend and the next he is trying to get under your sheets. In my opinion I would tread lightly before jumping into anything with this guy.

What if you hook up and the next day he just wants to be “friends” again? It is not fair that he is toying with your emotions and not giving you a straight answer.

The only thing I can suggest to you is to back off him and see how he responds. He may be trying to play a game with you by changing his attitude like the changing of the tides. Once you give him some space, he may come clean and tell you how he really is feeling.

Otherwise your only other option is to ask him flat out how he feels. Yet, be wary if you put him on the spot he may respond in a panic.

Regardless, Adriana there is no reason you should have to feel this much discomfort when you’re just trying to figure out how a guy feels. Imagine the games he would play if you were in an actual relationship. My best advice is for you to stop playing into his twisted web of uncertainty and find a guy who is sure of himself and certain what he wants.
