Expert Answer

You should confront him about how those comments hurt you and say that you will not tolerate them. If he continues, then it's probably time to find a new relationship as it's unlikely he respects you and a sign of an unhealthy relationship.

Question

The guy I fell in love with likes me, but now I don't know if he just wants me for sex or wants the sex because he's interested in me. What do I do?

Expert Answer

Consider what commonalities you both have besides sex. If your relationship is mainly focused on sex, then it does not appear well-rounded and you should try to hold off on the sex and see how he responds. A normal relationship is based on much more than just sex.

Question

I feel like we're drifting apart, but I'm scared that it's just me being overdramatic.

Community Answer

You need to listen to your instincts. If you feel that you might be overreacting, you should try to step back from the situation and ask for advice from others. Be honest with him about how you are feeling and make an effort to spend time connecting with him.

Question

If he doesn't call me for more than three days and then come up with an excuse saying that he was tired, should I believe him?

Community Answer

It sounds like you already have your answer. If you think that he was giving you an excuse, he probably was. When a guy wants to contact you, he will and being tired won't prevent that.

Question

What do I do if my crush is not interested with me anymore?

Community Answer

When someone is no longer interested in you, it is time for you to move on. This can be hard and you should give yourself some time to grieve and be sad. After that time, you will need to pick yourself up and continue living your life without him in it.

Question

How do I walk away with dignity?

Community Answer

When you realize that he is no longer interested, you can walk away with dignity by accepting that there is no relationship there anymore and moving on. Take time for yourself and do things that make you happy. Don't try to change his mind or bother him by texting or calling him constantly. You may not be able to remain friends after you realize he is not interested, but it is best for you to move on.

Question

If a guy says he's not interested in me anymore, could I make him interested in me again?

Community Answer

This depends on the situation. When a guy says that he is no longer interested in you, you should respect that and move on. However, in the future he may become interested in you again. Continue to be friendly with him and maintain a positive relationship but you cannot force someone to become interested in you romantically.

Question

In a long distance relationship, how do you notice that your guy is not interested any more?

Community Answer

In this situation, you don't have the benefit of seeing how he acts around other people. You will need to rely on your communication with him to see whether he is still interested. Since you are in a relationship with him, you should be clear and ask him whether he is still committed.

Question

He lives in another country and I feel like he isn't interested anymore. Even when we are together I feel like he's no longer interested in me. What should I do? I always feel like I'm chasing after him.

Community Answer

In this scenario, you should take a week or two and stop initiating contact with him. If he is truly interested in you, he will reach out and try to communicate with you when he realizes that you two haven't been talking as much. If he doesn't try to initiate contact, he is probably not interested anymore. You shouldn't have to chase after someone that you like.

Question

What if he starts to hide his phone and goes outside and around the corner to talk to people but says he is talking to his friends?

Community Answer

It sounds like he wants to have his conversations be private. He has a right to privacy and you don't need to know who he is talking to at all times. If you are seriously concerned that he might be cheating, you need to be honest with him about how you feel and have a conversation with him.

Question

He proposed to my best girlfriend. What do I do?

Community Answer

Well, this is a very clear and strong signal that he is not interested in you. You need to move on, congratulate them on their engagement, and wish them the best. If you try to pursue a romantic relationship with him now you risk losing your best friend and him.

Question

I asked my crush to hang out and he always has an excuse to say he can't. I think he hates to be alone with me. I thought he liked me but it feels like something is wrong. What does it mean?

Community Answer

If you have asked him to hang out a few times and each time he says no, it seems like he is not interested in spending time with you. He may just be a naturally flirtatious person and consider you only as a friend.
