writes:Okay there was this guy I was pursuing and i found out that he was not interested in me. He gave me mixed signals so I continued to pursue him until I just told him how I felt. He said he just wanted to be friends. Although Im really "pretty and sweet he doesnt feel that way for me. Let the sleeping dog lay and see where things end up." What the hell does that mean? Is he saying that he doesnt want to talk to me for awhile and leave him alone or saying he doesnt want to be friends at all? Im a little confused, i may be analyzing it too much but i am kind of curious.I plan on leaving him alone for awhile though, he needs a break from me i think.Thanks for your help :)

Im just gonna leave him alone for awhile and get past the feelings I have for him. I just thought he was a wonderful, careing and nice guy to try a relationship with. It bascically could mean anything. There are plenty of fish left in the sea.
By the way, hes single and have been for some time. We are both in college stuyding in the same thing.

Maybe He has a girlfriend or married. Girls not every guy is single, the same way you are running him down it is the same way other girls are running him down too. Personally when I am looking a girl if she does not pay me any mind, maybe she is into a serious relationship or she is not interested. Girls like you forces guys to cheat on their girlfriend or spouses. You must waste your energy on guy who is single with no string attach. I was in the same situation has the guy, but the girl give a lot of attention like you did, but i could not get serious with her because I already have a beautiful, intelligent girlfriend of three years. How can you rundown somebody without checking if they are in a commited relation are if they seeing somebody.Guys uses girls who pushes they selve on them that will be like a easy picking. I know of girls who rundown guys always get hurt and use

 It means he never paid attention in the English lessons when they were talking about mixed metaphors.
Come on girl. Put your shoulder to the wheel and don't stop until you've left every pebble on the beach unturned. A boy in the bushes is worth two in the hand, is what I always say.
Sorry - look, seriously, I think he's just using the wrong phrase and has ended up saying something he doesn't quite mean. Don't make too much of it. I think he's saying that he doesn't think he wants a relationship right now but that it's still a possibility and might happen some time. If you think he needs a break from you, then that's probably not a bad idea.

I feel bad as I like him as a person a lot too and we used to go running together as friends and I enjoyed it.

 I got no idea, perhaps he doesn't know what the saying means either?
"Let the sleeping dog lay" means don't disturb something that might hurt you when you don't have to.
Unless he is warning you off because he is dangerous I can't see why he would say it like this.
But it seems clear he is not interested so let it be. Cry your heart out and move on.
