Question - (8 April 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 9 April 2009)
A female United States age 26-29, *ppleJuice writes:

I have loved this guy since the 6th grade(even though I had to figure out that I liked him because he's so different then any other guy I’ve liked before) Anyways in the 6th grade(two years ago) him and some of my friends were tight and we were easy to approach each other. In seventh grade it wasn't so good of a connection. My friend who used to like him too, (I still do) confessed her love over the 6th grade summer, via phone, and he began responding to her confession like this… "[insert name here], that's great but, I don't---" then my friend hung up due to nervousness.

We called a couple of times more and he told us to stop calling, my poor friend was flabbergasted and handed me the phone and all I could say to him as she shook was "[insert name of my friend here] just told me she confessed to you." then he said " she's in the room with you isn't she?" and I gave a nervous laugh and sighed "You're just too smart." then my friend was given the phone. I think my comment touched him, or he remembered it because he thought it was important, or something; even though I find my comment microscopic. I say this because in the seventh grade I finally got the courage to interact with him (I poked him on the shoulder and then he poked me back, etc. and then throughout the year we passed notes through this little pipe cleaner butterfly thing I made.) But, in class randomly when I made a face at a stupid remark some preppy girl made next to me. He burst out and said "Gosh! There is too many smart people here!" and he pointed at me lying on the desk and said "smart person" also I reacted badly and spazzed out and hit the table like I had passed out. Anyways…now he brings up stuff including smarts. Like, he saw me playing a mental game and he said "so it seemed like you gotta be smart for that game. You win?" and I said yes but he kept saying "you gotta be smart for that." any time I'd answer about the game. Something else happened over the summer at the Carnival…. I was teasing him. (Heh heh) Not a bad tease though, like a flirtatious tease. To explain, it was my little brother, he was in a fight which was getting physical. So, I pretended to act concerned( I wasn’t concerned because he does this all the time no one actually gets hurt)and I was acting concerned by making faces and looking down like I was about to cry, because I knew the guy I like was looking. So then he sprung into action. He told the guy that was in the fight with my bro to go sit on a hill and he pointed where it was. But, I won't tell you that entire story...to sum it up the guy I like began to scold the boy on the hill. He said "why are you over here? go back on stupid hill. stupid" anyways

...also another interaction was at the park on a weekend. It was earlier this year, after I confessed that I loved him, to him. And we weren't talking to each other alot. But, he was playing a game with his friends. And he was the only one getting caught and sent to jail. Which was by me and another one of my friends. My friend and I were looking at eachother excited and I said lets go down the hill(jail was down the hill) and my friend said "no leave him alone." as we agured he came up the hill and began a conversation. then his friend sent him back down saying "you're not allowed up here, go back to jail!" and so we went down to talk to him. And he motioned me to come close to him, after some more conversation. He then leaned in by my ear and whispered in it a plan to win the game. Anyways the night went on like that. etc. etc.

Oh when I confessed my love it went simply like this ("hey {BOY} can I talk to you?" "oh! I didn't see you there sure" "Cool, follow me." I went to an isolated part of the hallway. "ok, since the beginning of sixth grade, well.... ok, how should I say this...I, I love you." and he was silent for a while to process it and he then responded "how am I supposed to respond to that?" "I don't know, I just needed to get it off my chest" "what should i say to that?" "I just needed to get it off my chest." then, silence "well, I'll come back to you when I have an answer.”)Then later that day my friend said he was looking for me and I wasn't in sight!) so I waited till after winter break when I would see him next at school and he pretended it never happened.

I’m just giving you a lot of the info. So you can respond accurately.

Also, I’ve walked with him home and he seemed fine, he did laugh a lot. He sometimes laugh at things I say that aren’t funny. Like he asked me whats up and I said I’m bored. And he laughed saying “Your bored, heh heh heh.” Or when I said “RAWR” He giggled and said “Rawr?” then I nodded yes and he giggled some more.

Also once when I was walking home behind him when he was with his friends he stopped and looked down till I passed him and continuing looking down at his phone he said “Hey” so I said “Hi” as I kept walking then he said “how are you?” so I stopped and said “pretty good you?” he replied “good,” then he held up his phone and said, “I can’t text and walk.” I laughed and we started a convo. Then his friends looked back and hollered “com’on slow poke!” he said “you guys are too fast” and then they had a yelling convo. And we had the conclusion of our convo as I reached my house and we said bye.

Also, after I confessed he started smiling at me different. He used to smile at me with the corners of his mouth by his ears, eyes wide, and teeth showing. But, now he smiles with his mouth closed and eyes slightly dimmed.

And it's stuff like that small things happen like he stands in the doorway to hear my clarinet solo when everyone else has already left, to later tell me I did great. But, then if I stand next to him, look at him, or walk past him he doesn't say hi (well, neither do I but, I want to, curse love’s consequences! O’well at least I’m not so much of a stalker I used to be when I first started liking him, that’s when I gave him a ‘get well’ card at his house and would call him on the weekend. I don’t do that anymore cuz I figured out it doesn’t work, we still don’t talk if I do that. And now I take the shy route. ?)

So, I guess my question is….

What's it all mean? does he like me? Why aren’t we friends anymore? we never talk even though we see each other every day.

Ok,ok, my main answer I want is…

please just tell me what you think about the whole situation please. I am just asking someone with more love experience then an 8th grade girl.

AppleJuice agony auntTo add to the confusion he wrote in my yearbook "I love you", last year. And I told one of my friends about what the guy I like wrote and my friend said "oh yeah I wrote that." but, I compared his signutare to the guy I likes signature and they were different. Also I had asked my crush to sign and I couldn't find any other signature besides the one my friend said he fordgied. And I know my crushes hand writing... but, why would he write this and then act like he does?

hi :)

I'm 15 & I'm still in live with the same guy since 6th grade. When I first met him I was too shy to say anything then my friend confessed her love to him I of course was jellous so we started flirting. But last year I made a mistake by saying I love you & giving him a birthday card the boy freaked I still haven't talked to him since this day.So mabey he just wanted to be friends & you went a little to far or something.
