Is he genuine?

Probably should have started a new thread.

I got rejected after telling a guy how I feel (non stop contact for 2 months).

But...

Erm... we kind of... decided to be friends again...

He contacted me and explained that he had been in a 2 year relationship which had mutually been ended 6 months ago.

Explained that he really liked me and had shown my photos to his sisters and they really liked me and wanted to meet me in person.

But he didn’t want to throw ‘I like you too’ back in case he changed his mind or I changed mine so we should be certain first.

Suggested that we should continue to be friends for a little longer to get to know each other and till he finishes his studies (this month I think?) because he’s unsure what country/city he will be living in next.

I’m very confused. Is he for real??!!

just read your previous Thread... he sounds like a Dick OP.. sorry Flowers

If he likes you he’ll come to you himself. Sometimes the more you run after them the more they run away from you.

He’s being a typical guy he wants to keep you hanging there. He prob likes you but maybe not enough yet to take it further and kinda scared to lose you at the same time.

No he's not for real.

As PP said above..
If he wants you, he'll come after you.

People who really want each other don't string each other along or dangle a carrot in front of them.

He wants you pining after him and there for him when he gets rejected by someone else so he can feel better about himself.

He's a dick.

Cut comms. Life will go on without him. Or just be completely platonic friends. Either way 😂

No he is being a dick.

Game player, head messer. Read the bit about his sisters and went "Really? Whuut?" Nah, op. Nah.

Villagelifer · 19/10/2018 06:41

I think people are being a bit harsh. A player would have said "I like you too" before even if he didn't feel it and then not act on it.
From what you say he's been caring but freaked out at naming your/his feelings.
I'd be willing to listen to what he has to say and see how it goes.

ShatnersWig · 19/10/2018 08:18

Don't be stupid. Move on.

PolkaDoting · 19/10/2018 12:09

To be fair, he does seem genuine... he is not trying to hide what a head fuck he is.

Kayyyyyy · 19/10/2018 18:52

Lol @ PP

SparklyMagpie · 19/10/2018 18:54

I wouldn't

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 19/10/2018 18:55

How could his sisters really like you from your photos? They're photos.

Would any man actually care what their sisters thought of a female friend?

If he wants you; he'll make it clear. He's not. Move on.

NotTheFordType · 19/10/2018 18:57

Have you actually met him?

Rebecca36 · 19/10/2018 19:29

Keep it cool.

C0untDucku1a · 19/10/2018 19:30

Block and delete.

HAKAY2018 · 19/10/2018 20:04

He said yesterday how I had been etc.

Asked him the same and he said... well you know still working on my thesis...

And I just got the feeling that he might very well think that I would say ‘yeah if you need anymore help just send it over’ (like I did before)

But I didn’t. And he hasn’t contacted me all day so I suspect this was why he suggested continuing the friendship. If he asks for help - I’ll tell him to shove the thesis where the sun doesn’t shine 😂😂

Tbh... I think it’s easier to get over him now...
