If you are still in contact with her, what are things you avoid or do? do you still try to show her you like her? what if you just think she doesn't like you but she really does?

My friend liked this girl for the longest time and he didn't really tell her and now shes going out with a guy and he completely avoids her now. Even as a friend he used to help her with her issues and be there for her all the time.

The reason your friend is is avoiding the girl is because he's hurt. He tried being her "friend", but in reality he wanted her romantically and was't direct about it. A lot of guys will agree to being a "friend" in order to get close to a woman without revealing their desire for her upfront. Problem is if the girl agreed to being his friend, it could be because she liked him in a platonic sense (unbeknownst to him). Since he was unclear with his intentions he wound up in an awkward/painful situation.

The easiest thing to do is not wind up in scenarios like these. For me I cut right to the chase and let women know if I find them attractive early. I'll ask them out for dinner or drinks to make the point clear. If I'm rejected, no big deal. I just go about my life.

However if a woman that I was dating pushed me away, I'd walk away and drop all communication. I do this so that I can move on with my life. Also I wan't to make sure that I don't stick around and waste my time feeling pathetic when I could find someone else who would be interested in me. That means the woman will no longer see me unless she contacts me again. She pushed me away after all, so it's on her to rekindle things. If I ran into her randomly, I'd remain cordial and polite, then continue on with my life.

Here is what I do, and how all men should handle a woman that fucks you over:

Step 1.) Immediately, cut all communication with her (and everybody that knows her). That includes removing all of her friends from your Facebook and social media.

Step 2.) Spread nasty rumors about her. That will definitely make her regret screwing you over

Step 3.) Post private pictures of her all over the web (especially porn sites). Make it so that it will be nearly impossible to get them all removed. This will haunt her for at least 10 years.

Step 4.) Find a new temporary woman and take her places. Make sure to get tons of pictures of you guys having fun so that you can use one of them as your main profile pic for her to see when she stalks your social media.

Step 5.) Make sure that you've fucked your backstabbing ex in the ass at least one time. No matter what insults she throws you way, no response can beat "Oh yeah, that's okay. I FUCKED YOU IN THE ASS!".

Step 6.) Make sure that she knows that you were cheating on her the entire time you were together and that she doesn't even matter much. Even if it's not true, it will fuck with her head a bit.

Lmao.

What if the guy broke up with her without she knowing, and on day two he banged another gal then told her about the new gal and how much of a good time they had, how he loved her so much but still want to remain her friend?

If she's not masochistic, then what is she?

In this case, she still want him for whatever the fuck reason she can think of. I think she's just desperate and pathetic.

What do you think?

I never said that she fucked him over. ?

She doesn't even know he liked her.

On another note... why—? that's too much stress for you too, and we can totally see you're butthurt about it, and even if you said you cheated just by doing all the above we can tell that you were in love with her and she'd only think "I'm glad I did what I did or I'd be stuck with him, now i know how he is"

wait....that actually happened to me...I didn't fuck a guy over but something similar happened (in My defense I had every right to do what I did) but

he's doing 1, 4(sort of) and 6. the others idk. ? this whole time I thought he was a dickbc of that but now I'm thinking he's just being immature.

I was just kidding.



But to answer you post seriously, I have actually been in a situation like the one you described (pretty recently) where I liked a girl and not only does she have a guy but they are engaged and shit. I didn't immediately come out and say that I "liked" her because I want to get a feel for the person and who they are before I waste my time and money taking them out on a date.

But she had a guy before I even met her, so I wouldn't even say that I was "hurt", just disappointed. But I'm over it now. Definitely not attending engagement or weddings, but It's all good. I don't bend over for backwards for women who I'm not having relations with.

I don't understand how people get engaged so quick sometimes! it takes me at least 6 months to see if I actually like the person to be my boyfriend, let alone marriage wth!

and sometimes if we don't know and you guys just walk away without telling the girl you like her. what if she likes you back, what if she likes you more than the other guy and would rather have a chance with you than someone else.

Guys never think this things through

He's my best friend and I know he's hurt and I told him to tell her sooner, he never said anything for about 2 yrs and he was always here for her. he even drive 8 hrs from base to take her to the doctor. it makes me mad and upset that he did that because he knows she has family here and I think she just wanted to get the attention.

He's a Taurus. she's a Libra.

She's a cool girl but I think that if he told her a while ago shed have been clear with him from the beginning and avoid the whole thing.

Now he cuts off the friendship and she didn't know why, she tried to contact him many times but he wouldn't respond. oh well. he knows he caused this himself.

Now days...

These things, Im used to now so...



I would still be there for her if she wanted..

Im sure she would pick up on my feelings..

but I would express them in

writing and in code through art.

I think my view on the experience of

love here would help me as well ~


That's how I express my feelings for someone. Writing and Art. Very few people understand it and very few appreciate it.

On the flip side, why would I go through the trouble of saying that I like her if she's already involved and ruin whatever friendship could have come out of the situation, making it completely awkward. It goes both ways. If a girl is seeing someone and i'm SINGLE, it's on her to initiate things in my opinion. Why would a guy just assume in any capacity that she wants something better than the current person she is with?

Why would a guy just assume in any capacity that she wants something better than the current person she is with?


She wasn't, for 2 years. lol she's been dating around but he never told her his feelings bc he didn't want to be rejected but when he decided to make the move (2 yrs later) she probably had already moved on.

Yeah, 2 years is a long ass time to be fucking around. That's on him in this case. Probably a cancer guy based from this information alone.

If you are still in contact with her, what are things you avoid or do? do you still try to show her you like her? what if you just think she doesn't like you but she really does?

My friend liked this girl for the longest time and he didn't really tell her and now shes going out with a guy and he completely avoids her now. Even as a friend he used to help her with her issues and be there for her all the time.



The reason your friend is is avoiding the girl is because he's hurt. He tried being her "friend", but in reality he wanted her romantically and was't direct about it. A lot of guys will agree to being a "friend" in order to get close to a woman without revealing their desire for her upfront. Problem is if the girl agreed to being his friend, it could be because she liked him in a platonic sense (unbeknownst to him). Since he was unclear with his intentions he wound up in an awkward/painful situation.

The easiest thing to do is not wind up in scenarios like these. For me I cut right to the chase and let women know if I find them attractive early. I'll ask them out for dinner or drinks to make the point clear. If I'm rejected, no big deal. I just go about my life.

However if a woman that I was dating pushed me away, I'd walk away and drop all communication. I do this so that I can move on with my life. Also I wan't to make sure that I don't stick around and waste my time feeling pathetic when I could find someone else who would be interested in me. That means the woman will no longer see me unless she contacts me again. She pushed me away after all, so it's on her to rekindle things. If I ran into her randomly, I'd remain cordial and polite, then continue on with my life.


He's my best friend and I know he's hurt and I told him to tell her sooner, he never said anything for about 2 yrs and he was always here for her. he even drive 8 hrs from base to take her to the doctor. it makes me mad and upset that he did that because he knows she has family here and I think she just wanted to get the attention.

He's a Taurus. she's a Libra.

She's a cool girl but I think that if he told her a while ago shed have been clear with him from the beginning and avoid the whole thing.

Now he cuts off the friendship and she didn't know why, she tried to contact him many times but he wouldn't respond. oh well. he knows he caused this himself.

Oye 2 years, that's brutal. Yeah it's an unfortunate way for a relationship of any kind to end, but it's common. A lot of my female friends had guy "friends" for years who eventually got girlfriends and suddenly disappeared. The girls are always confused because they were under the impression the friendships were stronger than that.

In some cases the girl may know that the guy found them attractive, but didn't let anything develop further beyond "friendship". The guy on the other hand dropped the facade and ghosted. In his mind, the girl should have caught on by now (which is just silly).

Why is this question in the Man Cave? The way your question is stated makes it seem like you're asking people other than men (women). Perhaps you should've posted this in the powder room. 🙂

Lol because I'm assuming that guys would read the question and realize is for them... ?

How would we know what you guys do when you're hurt?

It is silly because I like straightforward answers. I don't like to assume when it comes to matters of the heart, because I know that Im friendly and that gets misconstrued, therefore if you want to date me, be upfront about your intentions with me. I will let you know where I stand.

Exactly and granted I think a lot of guys push too much too fast as well, which is just as unproductive.

I honestly think that if this guy had just approached this woman and said, "I think you're gorgeous and something in me really wants to get to know you better. I'd like to take you out sometime," he could be 2 years into dating this girl right now.

I know and we still talk about it. He doesn't watch her stuff either on social media. Sometimes he asks me to check for him, also whenever she's seeing or dating someone he goes away, when he thinks she's single he texts her back normal as friends. I keep asking him even regardless of his feelings for her if there is a close friendship she's not gonna like the on and off thing and she has talked to him about it. I know he told her he liked her after 2 yrs, and she told him she only likes him as a friend. After he had done so many things for her BUT I recognize that it was his own will, she never knew his intentions were different but I can see how she took advantage of the friendship.

He did all that without telling her he liked her.. Also bc he was away in the marines and didn't know but I always thought he should've said something. He's also very unsure of his feelings bc while talking about her with another girl, he ended up falling for that other girl. lol

They almost dated but he backed up.

Yup 😢

I think that's why I like fire signs or fire dominant/placement folks. I like how straightforward they can be because I don't like to read in between the lines. I'm not going to assume, I'm going to go based on what you say, followed by your actions.

I tend to dislike fire signs... I feel a weird tension there. They look at me as if they are the wolves stalking little red riding hood (me). lol

Well unfortunately guys don't understand that the route to a woman's heart isn't acts of servitude. If I had to guess, that friendship is pretty much dead at this point. He may pop in and out, but it will never be the type of relationship either of them wants. She doesn't want him the way he wants her, and vice versa.

Yeah sounds like an unfortunate situation. If his feelings were so strong that he bonded with another woman about it, that really should have been the sign to say something. I understand that he was in the marines and constantly traveling too.

Now he cuts off the friendship and she didn't know why, she tried to contact him many times but he wouldn't respond. oh well. he knows he caused this himself.


Oye 2 years, that's brutal. Yeah it's an unfortunate way for a relationship of any kind to end, but it's common. A lot of my female friends had guy "friends" for years who eventually got girlfriends and suddenly disappeared. The girls are always confused because they were under the impression the friendships were stronger than that.

In some cases the girl may know that the guy found them attractive, but didn't let anything develop further beyond "friendship". The guy on the other hand dropped the facade and ghosted. In his mind, the girl should have caught on by now (which is just silly).
It is silly because I like straightforward answers. I don't like to assume when it comes to matters of the heart, because I know that Im friendly and that gets misconstrued, therefore if you want to date me, be upfront about your intentions with me. I will let you know where I stand.
Exactly and granted I think a lot of guys push too much too fast as well, which is just as unproductive.

I honestly think that if this guy had just approached this woman and said, "I think you're gorgeous and something in me really wants to get to know you better. I'd like to take you out sometime," he could be 2 years into dating this girl right now.


He did all that without telling her he liked her.. Also bc he was away in the marines and didn't know but I always thought he should've said something. He's also very unsure of his feelings bc while talking about her with another girl, he ended up falling for that other girl. lol

They almost dated but he backed up.


Yeah sounds like an unfortunate situation. If his feelings were so strong that he bonded with another woman about it, that really should have been the sign to say something. I understand that he was in the marines and constantly traveling too.

Yeah us hard for him as he's always traveling.

😢

Hopefully he will find a good woman.

If you are still in contact with her, what are things you avoid or do? do you still try to show her you like her? what if you just think she doesn't like you but she really does?

My friend liked this girl for the longest time and he didn't really tell her and now shes going out with a guy and he completely avoids her now. Even as a friend he used to help her with her issues and be there for her all the time.



The reason your friend is is avoiding the girl is because he's hurt. He tried being her "friend", but in reality he wanted her romantically and was't direct about it. A lot of guys will agree to being a "friend" in order to get close to a woman without revealing their desire for her upfront. Problem is if the girl agreed to being his friend, it could be because she liked him in a platonic sense (unbeknownst to him). Since he was unclear with his intentions he wound up in an awkward/painful situation.

The easiest thing to do is not wind up in scenarios like these. For me I cut right to the chase and let women know if I find them attractive early. I'll ask them out for dinner or drinks to make the point clear. If I'm rejected, no big deal. I just go about my life.

However if a woman that I was dating pushed me away, I'd walk away and drop all communication. I do this so that I can move on with my life. Also I wan't to make sure that I don't stick around and waste my time feeling pathetic when I could find someone else who would be interested in me. That means the woman will no longer see me unless she contacts me again. She pushed me away after all, so it's on her to rekindle things. If I ran into her randomly, I'd remain cordial and polite, then continue on with my life.


He's my best friend and I know he's hurt and I told him to tell her sooner, he never said anything for about 2 yrs and he was always here for her. he even drive 8 hrs from base to take her to the doctor. it makes me mad and upset that he did that because he knows she has family here and I think she just wanted to get the attention.

He's a Taurus. she's a Libra.

Need to be upfront

I think that once someone realizes they actually like someone or have feelings for someone then they should let the person know.. I know it isn't easy..Most of us fear rejection. Been there done that. but it hurts us more to stay in the situation trying to see if it magically develops into something and is frustrating for both people.
