This guy is stringing me along, what now? ?

Question

Hello Everyone:

I need your opinions on how I should handle a situation of a guy who I think is stringing me along. I have two options now but first a rundown on the situation: This guy is about 10 years younger than I. At the beginning of the Summer, we really started to talk (he is a co-worker) we exchanged emails, IM’s and a couple were pretty intense which led me to believe that he was interested in me. Not only that, but a lot of times he would come around, stare, smile, etc. Now he seems to be more non-chelant about things and really not as “into it” as he was before all this happened. Another thing is, when I IM him it takes him like almost an hour to respond, he doesn’t respond to emails, and when I call him, he cuts it pretty short. Now, if that is a hint to move on, I don’t know what is. My question is: should I ignore him most days or should I just pretend nothing has happened and just say Hi to him briefly. What really sucks about this situation is that all the signs were there including the eye contact, etc but its obvious he is just playing with my mind and had no intention of hooking up.

Answer 1

ignore him and kick his a*S lol he will be afraid of you and cry and beg for you!

you just gotta ignore him because he is being a jerk!

Answer 2

Sweetheart let me be totally honest with you the best think for you to do is move on.. you are way better than most ppl who want to really be with someone and they are in denial about whether or not the person is being honest with them or not! But don't do dirt for dirt, speak to him as if nothing is wrong and when he begins to stare or try to hold a conversation cut him short, just like he do you. The best way to get up under a male or females skin who acts as if they are too good for you is to show them what they are missing and let them know that life goes on with or without them. Just look at is as a blessing because now someone who is totally attracted to you and wants to get to know you has a chance since he has pushed his self out of the way. Good luck to you!

Yup, sounds like he's playing with your head. Um, I would suggest that you follow his lead and just be casual around him and move on to someone who will give you the respect and attention you want. Because it sounds like he's not that into you. Maybe he thought he was at one time, but obviously he's changed his mind or found someone else he likes to pay attention to. Not you. Forget about him.

the begining of the summer and now are two different times ...And times change.. and so too did this guy's interest..... I don't think he was playing you because he never really dated you....It was a passing interest that you need to be realistic about and get over...And yes, since you two work together, be friendly in a business-like way.

Answer 5

Move on
