I have a guy friend and I need help with something...?

He has a low self-esteem, He probobly had people make fun of him earlyer in his life for whatever reason/reasons but whatever reason he has a hard time of seeing himself as atractive at all. (I also think that, so I know how it is) He understands and really knows deep down you are being honest with him, He wants to beleve if fully, but still, he rembers the wounds from the past that tell him that he is not and hes lacking and he thinks your just trying to be nice to him.\nIts a vicious cycle. and it sucks, Im getting thrugh it slowly, but thats only beacuse I have to make myself take complements and gifts when there given and see myself as a someone, beacuse God dosent make nobodies.\nHope he gets through it, its really tough.

tough one.  and not your call.  just support him in his decision if you're his friend!

you said he is a guy friend...so he is your friend.  \n\nit's like you are putting him in a situation which he does not want to be in.  it seems that you asked him that question because you want something more to come between you two.  do u? \n\ndon't embarass yourself to ask the same question over and over again.  once is enough....read between the lines.

be completely honest with him...it helps you guys to understand each other and now each others mind...he really really helps..trust me...especially telling him when he does something you don't like...it really tightens the bond

You could go and ask one of his guy friends that you can trust.

you cant avoid hurting him just make it clean and simple, dont lose control, and be extremely clear on why( pull no punches). Never ask to be friends it's the worst thing a guy can hear because it sends mixed messages.

Just continue being friends with him and show that you care. He has to be able to figure out that you like him if you keep this up. Otherwise, this guy might be really clueless.

No. He just wnts some ass. Trust me. I'm a guy, and even though I don't act upon what my head says (not always a good thing) I know how other guys think. So do yourself a favor and just get someone else who'll be there for you. Not your puss...

Just step back and see this picture as it is. He is not the one for you. Move on. If you want to remain friends and have your feelings all mixed up for his benifit go ahead, because he is more important than you right? I did not think so, so just put this dude in your history book and be thankful he was honest enough to let you know who he really is before you fell more into him.

ok, coming from a guy, i say just tell him how u feel and if you are friends at all, he wopnt be uncomfortable with it, it will make him happy even if he does not show it

Of course you aren't bad. If he is a friend, then you obviously have things in common to start with. Sometimes the relationship grows from there to a romantic one. It is tough though when the guy doesn't feel the same way. It can ruin the friendship.

This sounds a little weird, so I definitely think that you should talk to your guy. Tell him that this is really bothering you and that you don't mean to go crazy on him. If he really cares about your feelings, then he won't just blow you off.

There's a whole world out there, you and your friend don't need the trouble this guy could/will cause.  His behavior is truer than his words.  Treat yourself better than that and get a new boyfriend who is really sincere.

some guys take it as an insult to them and get defensive (acting mad) instead of seeing the problem and remedying it (making suggestions).  i would just try to talk to him and tell him you want to talk about it to help your relationship not hurt it.  At least you're honest and towards the first step of making it better for the both of you.

well thats a tough one but i think u should talk to your friend and tell her that u and this guy like each other and she's kind of stepping in. also ask the guy whats up with him. does he like u or your friend. hope it works out for ya

I can sympathize because I fell for an amazing guy friend. The single caveat? He's got a girl friend. Since you guy is free then I would go for it. Touch his arm, try subtle flirting (should work b/c he knows you well enough to know that it's not the usual banter), if that doesn't get a response do the usual flirting routine, wear attractive clothes, a nice perfume, let him see that your into him. DO NOT DO anything different b/c you like him, like don't start acting like a ditz or all lalala bc guys get freaked out if ppl they have relied on start acting strange. Spend time with him alone and see how it goes.
