Generally people say what they mean. We only get confused when we are unwilling to accept what they say and instead try to find hidden meaning in his tone, or the 'way' he said it. If someone says that they probably will never date you then I would accept that they probably don't want to date you. Forget it. Move on.

Laura1318 agony auntHe is using reverse psychology on you.

This has made you muddled and think of him always..LOL!

He dares you to challenge his thoughts....

Inwardly , he wants to date you but is afraid that you may

reject him and he is using this back door approach on you.

Try asking him for a date and he would not reject you..LOL!

Why ask us....we didn't say it!

Why don't you ask him what he meant by that, only he can explain his comment.

polarkite agony auntThere could be several reasons dating you "won't happen." You pick:

1. He doesn't find you attractive

2. You are not his "type"

3. He is pretending not to be interested (e.g. lying)

4. He's actually a fortune-teller

5. Reason X

Truth is only this guy can answer your question.

BigSis agony aunt'Would probably never happen'...To me it sounds like it's meant to sound. If that sounds right? Now i'm confused :|

I think he means it 'WONT' happen.

When he said that to you, had you asked him on a date, or were you just talking in general?

A female reader, happytochat Australia +, writes (26 March 2008):

Umm its hard to say. What tone of voice did he have? He may of meant it would never happen cause he may think he wouldnt stand a chance wiht you. Perhaps by him saying that he was hoping you would respond by saying you want it to hapen and he does have a chance with you. Or it could of been his way of trying to make it clear he doesnt feel for you more then a friend. If you really want to knwo then you could ask him why he said what he said, why does he think it would never happen.
