Does he really care or is he messing with me?

Question - (17 May 2012) 2 Answers - (Newest, 21 May 2012)
A female United States age 30-35, *ndie_annie writes:

In high school I was apart of the theatre and stage crew. I met my tech director at 16 and he was 22. Technically he's an employee of the school district and I know that nothing could have happened while I was in school. Parents, students, administrators all thought we were dating and had no problem with it. I told them we weren't and they believed me. He was always in my space, wrapping his arms around me, flirting, and in general acting like he liked me back. After high school, he and I had a conversation and he told me that he always kept me more personal than professional, and that he was really upset that I didn't stay in theatre my senior year. A few weeks later I told him I loved him, and he ignored it. He then told me that we couldn't date, which I never asked of him. I saw him again after the initial telling and he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and told me that I had to know he loved me. His tone was joking, and I told him to not joke about love with me. Any advice or insight??

It sounds like he loves you as a friend but he doesn't want to commit to a serious relationship. Sometimes guys can be caring but that doesn't meant they're in love with you, and unfortunately that's one of the biggest mistakes women make (confusing caring for someone with loving someone). I would suggest you play it cool from this point forward and don't tell him you love him again as he clearly sees you as vulnerable and someone that he can joke around with. Find other stuff to occupy yourself with so that you don't think about him as often.

Starlights agony auntIf he flirts around with you it could be attraction however he could be a little worried what people may think so he has not really pursued things.

He has already said that he couldnt date you so that gives you his view on your relationship.
