The Boy I Like Isn't Talking To Me After I Told Him I Liked Him! What Should I Do?

Believe me, almost everyone who has ever been friends with a person of the opposite sex has had the same (or a similar) experience.

Sometimes, what happens is that one person feels more than a passing liking for the other person, while the other person may remain completely unaware of this, and pursue someone else!

Your friend may have been in such a situation: He may like you as a friend and a friend only, and not as anything further, and he may already have fixated on another girl.

Therefore, when you told him that you like him, he may have been shocked and at a loss for words, and that may be the reason why he is avoiding you.

If you are ready to carry on a platonic friendship with the boy, then you can approach him and convey the message, and you both can still remain friends.

However, if you feel that this is not possible, then move on, get involved in other activities, and meet more new people. You may find someone you like better than this guy.

Oh dear, I understand where you're coming from, these things don't get any easier the older you get!

But let's sort the wheat from the chaff: He may be shy, he may be embarrassed, he may be not interested, but the silent treatment on his part is just darn annoying for you and you know what?
You don't deserve it!

The only way to resolve this, is for you to step up to the plate. Either he's too shy or he's not interested, but you definitely deserve an answer!

There's a couple of ways about this: You could leave a short note in his locker or desk (or wherever notes are left in your world), or you could text him or email him if you do that type of thing.

Make the message short and sweet, something like:
(names changed to protect the innocent!)

Hi Adam,

I told you I liked you the other day because I would like to get to know you better.
If you would like to get to know me better too, please send me a note back.
If you don't, I'll understand, and I hope we can still be friends.

Thanks,

Love
Anna Marie

If he doesn't write back, at least you'll know how he feels!
Either way, don't worry, life is long and you'll soon be fighting the boys off with a stick!

I've got to say, I've been in the same situation as you. The guy's probably so shy and DOES like you, but just isn't ready to tell you.

If you really like him either you or one of your friends needs to get it out of him and then make your move

That's just a situation among many, been there done that, just talk on a friendly level or go to him and let him know that you are willing to be just friends.

Let that situation work itself out. Trust me - it will go where it is supposed to. Just be happy and don't expect anything.

Just start talking to him, and look at him when he's looking at you.

Honestly, he probably just likes you back and is afraid.
Or, if you are friends already, maybe he doesn't want to ruin that friendship. I think you should speak to him.

It may be that he is shy. Or maybe he doesn't feel the same way as you do. Were you friends before this?

Speak to him and tell him you didn't mean to make him feel bad - although what is wrong in liking someone anyway?

I think he probably likes you and is just too shy to let you know how he feels. You should still be friends with him, and in time he might come to like you (if he doesn't already).

He probably does like you, but you know boys... They get shy.
Give him some time!
