I don't know if anyone else has run into the guy who won't just make you his girlfriend. What are some reasons he won't just make it official? Is he just a player? Does he not want a commitment because he wants to be able to flirt with other girls freely? Or is he actually afraid? Maybe he was hurt before in the past and now has a hard time trusting, even if he really likes you. It's hard to tell waht a guys true motivations are for his actions sometimes.
I have a burning desire to just ask. Yet, I don't ask. I guess I want to ask in a way where I won't be accusing him of anything negative. Even though I really believe he really does like me. Who knows he could just be enjoying what is being giving to him? Maybe he's just accepting the now while waiting for the next best thing that comes along. I really doubt it. I have a pretty strong gut feeling that he's actually scared. Maybe it's some kind of insecurities he has inside or some other insecurities he has with society being judgemental.
The type of guy that knows tons of people. It's clear he's always been pretty good at socializing. If you were to put him in a room with a complete stranger I'm sure he could have them being friends within a few hours. While I find this totally endearing about him, it also worries me, because while he can conversate and know tons of guy friends, he also knows a lot of girls. There have been no real signs that he is serious with anyone else. Not even just one nighting, though he does go out and party a lot. It sounds like he just goes to have fun himself and be with his dudes. I'll ask him about his week and he'll tell me what he did and it's always some crazy stories. I don't feel like he holds much back. And why do I feel like he doesn't hold much back? Well, because there is nothing to hold back. He just went and partied hard like a dude.
Maybe it's just him but I'm not sure I know too many guys that would really ask what you want to do, "Wanna see a movie, stay in and watch a movie, or go out with some people?" I'm not sure I know to many guys that would go to a dance recital either. That's a bit of a girly thing and enless you actually liked the person I'm sure you wouldn't go, you'd find some kind of excuse not to go. He skipped soccer and had to bring along his brother. Why the trouble? And I'm not sure how many player type guys would kiss you on the forehead. What guy would let you cry on their shoulder if he didn't like you and care about you? I dont' know. I think you'd have to be the most cold hearted person to lead a girl on that much. And I'm sorry but he is just not that mean.
He actually seems kind of sensitive. Everytime I'm with him, alone, or even in public, I am surprised by what I learn about him. I am constantly surprised on little things he says or does. It's a good surprise. I just hope he's sincere.
There's just that one thing. And that's when we go out and someone asks if we're together. I just stand their usually and let him answer and he says, "Oh we're friends." Okay really we're friends? I get that we're not boyfriend and girlfriend but to call us friends is crazy. Especially when a guy is asking and you tell him "we're friends." Does he not realize I am an attractive girl and he basically just gave everyone in that room permission to flirt with me because we're not together or anything, "we're jsut friends." It doesn't sit right with me. I'm cool with the relationship we have right now. I don't care about labels. I've never been to big with boyfriend/girlfriend things myself, but seriously we got to find a creative way to say we're like together. If we are, I guess, to say. We have been talking and we hang out a lot. My friends wonder why we are officially together because we do everything that a boyfriend-girlfriend couple would do.
I worry that even if I gave him all the space in the world he would have a feeling of being trapped if I asked him to be in a relationship that he didn't want to be in. I think he likes me but those labels are just not his thing. I don't think he wants to be thought of someone else's but his own. Yet he's called me "babe", "baby", "my love", and "my girl." Though I think I even pushed him back a few steps when one time he said "I wuv you" and I told him not to say that.
Still we kiss. I've met his mom before. We had gone to prom together even. He has asked what my parents thought of him though he has never really gotten a chance to meet them. I've spent the night at his house several times. It's coming to that three month mark, which is when a lot of guys stop talking to me. It's getting to a make or break point and I now have a lot of questions about what is really going on between us. Does he really like me? What is really holding him back from making it official?
