Expert: Dan Date: 3/29/2008 Subject: Does he like me?
Question Hello, for five years now, I've had my sights set on a guy named Cody. He and I have been friends since we were in grade four. Now, we both recently turned 18. For a while, I've noticed him smiling at me in the halls as we pass each other in school. He and I used to talk over the phone, but he recently got a job, and has barely any time. He hangs out a lot with his friends, guy friends more than me, but a lot of his friends have told me they think he likes me. Unfortunately for me, Cody is very easily influenced by his friends. A while back, his closest friend Tyler told him to ask me out, and he did.
I must say, for the first two weeks everything was perfect. We were talking on the phone every other day for one hour at least. In the halls we would hold hands, and he would kiss me like there was no tomorrow.
After the first two weeks, he suddenly changed. His mood began to get more melancholy, and he seemed to only want to talk to his friends more than me. He stopped calling me, and didn't return my emails. In the halls, he never looked at me in the eyes as he used to, and whenever we were walking together, he never held my hand. I asked him why he quit holding my hand, and he said it was because his hands were cold and he put them in his pockets.
At lunch break, he would take a part in mocking me with his friends. He never stuck up for me whenever Tyler and Chris made fun of me. I threatened him one day that if he didn't stop, I would leave him. He replied by telling me he didn't care. This came out as a big shock to me, because normally he was always a guy that had a soft nature to him, and cared a lot about others, and I don't understand why he would say such a thing.
Well, after a month, he eventually told me he thought I was being too clingy on him. I asked him what he meant by that, and he said I wouldn't leave him alone to hang out with his friends, and that I was always hanging on to him, asking for a kiss before class. I only told him this was what normal couples did, and I didn't understand what he wanted from me. I broke up with him shortly after that.
Now however, I have recently found out that I still like him. I have not fully gotten over him yet. He added me as a friend on Facebook, and still takes to me at school. My best friend Chelsea believes Cody still likes me and wants me back. However, because Chelsea is my friend, I understand that she wants me to be happy, and might be saying this to make me feel better. On the other hand, there is another voice in my head, telling me Chelsea is right. Every time I walk past him, he smiles. But to me it seems more than a friendly smile. And a few times, he has followed me to a few of my classes and my locker.
Do you think Cody and I have a chance of getting back together? Could Chelsea be right? If she's not, then why is Cody acting like this around me? Do you think he could possibly be a little shy and influenced by his friends at this moment in time? What should I do? Thanks.
Answer Hi,
This is not my area of help. I do want to say I don't recommend Facebook for safety reasons. Talk to our internet safety experts. I do also want to say it's very common for friends to influence other friends and you may like him more due to your friend. He also may look at you differently due to his friends.
