Why do boys around high school age pick on girls they like?

Question

EXAMPLE: This kid kept picking on me in gym class for about a week because I really suck at football. He bothered me the whole week nonstop, and then the next week, HE ASKED ME OUT. He was serious. WHY?

This is not the first time, either. When will boys learn that this doesn't make girls like them. It makes girls want to slaughter them. (And YES, I know not ALL boys are like this.)

Answer 1

He likes you. In his way he was teasing you and not picking on you.

If you think he's cute then girl what are you waiting for go get him.

Good luck honey.

Answer 2

idk either. y do they always mess wit the gurls they like??

Answer 3

LOL. I KNOW. their all like that! i like it though, cuz they don't well actually slaughter me but tease me and stuff and we laugh at jokes together.

Answer 4

guys always pick on you because they think they're smart and they think that u won't know they like you. But it's so obvious! Good Luck!

Answer 5

To get their attention, but to do so in a way where they can't be accused of "liking" the girl.

Answer 6

we want to know that aswell i think its cause immature

Answer 7

they cant show there true feelings....that's what i think....

Answer 8

They think that by being verbally abusive, it will get them a date.

Answer 9

because he is immature, almost all guys are like that. Guys have a really weird / dumb way of showing a girl tht he likes her.  

Answer 10

Because their brains don't develope as fast as ours. And in their brilliance they think, "OH! If I act like a complete jerk, I bet she'll fall madly in love with me! ahhhh... I love how smart I am..."

;)

Answer 11

The guys that do that are stuck in the 'elementary school' mentality

Answer 12

that's apart of being immature

Answer 13

I don't mean to make you pessimistic but guys never stop doing this.  For some reason when we're around a girl we like it's a lot easier to make fun of them then to be nice to them, and we just hope they find it flirty instead of too mean.  Maybe it stops when we turn 30 or something, but I doubt it.

Answer 14

Young boys are intimidated by girls because they seem more poised - because they are. Girls mature socially before boys do. So the boys your age are in some ways like little kids.

Yes, not ALL boys do that.

If you don't like it, tell them. If they keep bugging you, report them to someone.

You have to take the bad with the good. If you want to get to know the guy and the only way he can approach you is to tease you, learn to live with it.

Or approach a quiet guy quietly. He could be a real prize.

Why do they do it? They're kids! They don't know how to act around girls yet.

Answer 15

Aparently thw guys that like you have no game. that is not the way i approach girls, I actually do the opposite.But the reason they are doing that is becasue they are somewhat shy about letting you know they like you.

Answer 16

Thats his only lame - *** adolescent way of trying to connect with females.  Its sad... lol

Answer 17

its because they want to hide that they actually like you by acting like they don't even like you and plus its just a way  of getting attention from you by any means necessary
