AAARRH! I am really frustrated. I posted awhile back about this guy I was interested in and that was back in November. Here's that thread: HTML Code:

Well, here it is almost the end of March and he STILL emails me. He emailed at Thanksgiving, ON Christmas Day, emailed to ask how I was doing after I got my tonsils out during Christmas break, emailed again around New Year's and on New Year's Eve and has email frequently since then, including Valentine's Day! He never says anything "revealing" in any of the emails or asked me out yet but he does ask how my week has been or weekend and we've talked about our lives a little bit. I do see him in person occasionally at school and he acts nervous to me. The past month or so he's really been emailing ALOT. About a week ago, he asked how my weekend was and I told him that I had gone to see a movie and didn't get to go much anymore b/c my best friend moved away and she was my movie buddy. He asked if I had seen the movie "Taken" and said he had been wanting to go. I told him that I had not seen it yet but I did want to see it and thought maybe that was a big hint that I would love to go. Well, he never mentioned it again. This past Friday he called the school and I happened to answer. He asked if I had big plans for the weekend and I said actually I didn't. He said he was going to take his son to see the monster truck show and I just said "oh, that sounds like fun" and he told me he'd catch up with me soon. He emailed me today and asked how my weekend was. A few of my friends have told me they think he likes me and maybe he's just shy and I needed to just take charge and say something to him about going out sometime. Well, I told him my weekend was good but boring and that I had wanted to go to the movies but didn't have anyone to go with me. I told him I had thought about asking him if he wanted to go but then remembered he had plans. I really was proud of myself for saying that and I waited ALL day for a reply. He finally sends me another email a little while ago and he talked about his son a little and some trouble he's been having with him and told me it meant alot to him that I take time with his son but he NEVER mentioned the movie thing!! He also asked me a couple of weeks ago if I would be interested in playing on a co-ed softball team with him and told me once they got everything together he would let me know. I told him I would do it.
I just don't get him. Why is he emailing me? My best friend pointed out that he's taken time out of his day to email me on holidays when he really doesn't have to do that. She also said that if he was just being nice then he could just be nice to me when he sees me instead of emailing me all the time and asking how things are going and asking me about stuff in my life. I mean, what is his deal?? Shy? Not really interested? Just being friendly? What? My friend also said she thinks that if he really wasn't interested in that way and thought I was getting the wrong idea he would say something to me but he hasn't and he keeps trying to talk to me. HELP!!! What do you ladies think and please be honest!!!! I am at my wit's end!

He's just not that into you! Its weird but guys can be funny like that he probably just likes you as a person and finds you easy to talk to and thats it. I wouldnt read too much into it to be honest

I agree with the above. A guy will make it happen if he really wants too. I'd quit commenting about movies and things, and let him come to you. Also, you never want to be too readily available, so keep busy

Although I agree a guy will make it happen if he's really into you, I do understand some people are just extremely shy. Not sure if you know his dating past, but maybe that has something to do with it. Either way, if you want to truly know the only way to find out is to confront him. That way you're both on the same page, you know? Best of luck!

Even though he may be shy, she has made it pretty clear she would say yes (and actually has said yes, he just doesn't follow through). I think confronting him might be awkward, but do what you feel

Thanks ladies. I do believe he likes me but I think he's got alot going on right now too. I think the best thing would be just to sit back and see what happens but I'm not going to sit around and wait on him. If someone else happens to come along, the better for me. I think I've made it pretty clear like was said ^ that I would be agreeable to going out or doing something so "the ball is in his court" so to speak and if he's not interested, the least he could do is tell me so.
So, if he keeps talking to me, it's up to him. If not, moving on! Thanks a bunch and thanks for being honest!

And according to the movie, if the guy likes you, he'll make it happen!
