What does he mean with his reply after I told him that I like him?

To me, it sounds like he liked you just fine, enough to have casual sex and casual conversation. Nothing wrong with that, if both parties feel the same way. But now that you know you have deeper feelings for him, and you let him know that, he is agreeing with you, that you should probably stop messaging him (not because he doesn’t like you) because the situation will be very unequal and he doesn’t want to hurt you. Good on him.

If you continued to message him (or try to hang out with him) it’s likely that you will end up having casual sex again (he likes the casual sex) but he knows that you are likely to form an unrealistic attachment to him, that he will not be able to reciprocate. He’s being a good guy, here. He doesn’t want to hurt your feelings, and it sounds like he appreciates that you’re a nice person.

Let him go, and if you happen to bump into him, just smile sweetly and be cordial. If his feelings for you change. HE will get into contact with you and let you know.

If somehow, you end up in a situation, in which you are tempted to have casual sex with him again, please remind him and yourself that you don’t want to go down that road, unless he feels more serious towards having a real relationship with you. Then stop yourself before you do something you’ll regret.

You had a sweet time with him. He’s being a good guy by not pressuring you, or using you. Keep that sweet memory in mind.

So you told him you should stop messaging for what reason? Because you assumed he didn’t feel the same way and wouldn’t want to talk to you anymore if he knew you liked him? I guess I’m confused as to why you didn’t just tell him how you feel and let him decide what he wanted to do. If you had, you might have a boyfriend right now. Maybe not, but now you’ll never know because you basically told him that you know he’s not good for you and you don’t want to be tempted.

What did you want him to do? Beg you to keep talking to him? If you really thought it was best to stop talking, you wouldn’t be so concerned about the meaning behind his message. He’s basically saying, “You’re right, I’m no good for you. If you don’t want to talk to me anymore, I respect your decision.” I think you were just saying one thing while meaning another, hoping he’d get the hidden message. Stop playing games and just be honest with the guy. What’s the worst that can happen? He might say no, but so what? Take a chance.

It’s confusing. Too much mind games. Talk to him again, tell him you you like him and want to try a relationship with him. Simple and to the point. The way i see it, If he says he’s too good for you, he probably likes you.

He’s confusing you?

“I like you, so go away and stop messaging me.” <—That’s fucking confusing.

Do you like him, or do you not like him? Do you want to keep in contact, or not?

Asking a guy to do the opposite of what you want is stupid. Making a guy fight for your attention is stupid. Expecting him to hang around when you tell him that you want him to go away is stupid.

Don’t be stupid.

@Seek_Kolinahr, we should probably start texting, since you wrote my answer for me anyway. But wait, I like you, so that wouldn’t work.

Let’s just sleep together and get it over with.

Yes, this New Age non-relationship let’s-just-fuck-and-forget-each-other confuses the hell out of me, too.

My advice would be to tell the guy that you do like him, and then to follow up on that by spending more time with him. But what do I know? That’s just how I operate. And it’s not working so well for me, either, so maybe it’s time to change tacks.

Yeah, you’re sending mixed messages. If you want him to stop, don’t text him again and don’t respond to his. That’s clear cut.

It doesn’t make sense to like him and initiate a break in your messaging. Then it sounds as though he likes you but wants to respect your feelings, and he also feels insecure about himself so he tells you that you’re better off without him anyway.

You are like two peas in a pod.

Decide what you want, quit trying to second guess the guy. Give him a message he can understand because saying “I like you so let’s stop messaging” just doesn’t cut it. How is he supposed to respond?

If you like him, grow up, and dare to be honest with your feelings and honest to him. Ask him how he feels. Don’t play games. They will get you nowhere and drive him away.

You are all right.
I guess I was just scared. He lives too far away, so we wouldn’t have a chance anyway. I guess this is why I wanted to push him away. Still, his reply was not was I expected.
