Question - (9 January 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 9 January 2011)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I've liked a guy for a few months now, and I've been sure that he's liked me for atleast the past month or two. He had hinted at going to see a movie together, and over winter break, he actually asked me out! He picked me up and we had an awesome time, full of laughter and joking, and he even put his arm around me during the movie. I had a great time, and I thought he did too. We texted a few times after the date, like normal. But when we got back to school, and saw each other in person, he started to act distant. For the whole first week of school, he hasn't sat next to me in our class together like he used to, and he doesn't seem as interested in flirting. We walk alone together after one of our classes, and he gets a little more back to his old self, like it should be. I've realized it's only when we're around our mutual friends that he acts distant, which makes me feel like anything I say to him annoys him. Why is he acting like this?

tennisstar88 agony auntI like what female anon says, he acts like a sweet boy around you..But has to keep up the cool, collected, macho image for his friends.

So you can sit here and deal with his hot/cold nature towards you, which will get really annoying, or you can move on to a boy who isn't afraid to be himself around you and his friends.

Hate to say it, but that's pretty typical for high school. Sounds like he's insecure and also worried about appearances. I would suggest speaking up and asking him if you did something wrong or even suggest going out again. Just keep it casual and light-heated. At the very least you'll find out the truth or he'll get the hint.
