The Real Deal: Is he just using you?

  • The Real Deal: Why guys hate shopping
  • Saved the best for last day
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
  • Puppy love? Puh-lease
How do you know when a guy really likes a girl or is just "using" her? I'm fourteen now and I'm dating my crush since middle school. At first I felt like I scored because I finally got him. But now I'm just afraid he plans on "using" me like most teenage boys do in relationships.

 

His Answer: “Sometimes guys are insecure and don’t know how to show a girl that they really like her, so he may be nervous around you and not really know how to be in a relationship,” says Jack, 15. “But he could be using you if he pressures you into doing things you don’t want to do.” 

 

Decoded: It’s possible that you two just need to get to know each other better before you can get that cool relationship you want. What’s not cool? Feeling like he is pressuring you to do anything you’re not ready for. 

 

Your move: If he ever tries to make you do anything you’re not ready for, tell him you’re not okay with it. Your relationship is 50/50, you both should have an equal say in what happens. If he doesn’t respect that, dating him is so not worth it. Look for a cutie that is honest with you about why he likes you, and be honest with him too!

Hey peacenluv22, it definitely sounds like he likes you. If he has a girlfriend, it may be best to wait until he's out of a relationship to make your move. I would text him but only as a friend because you don't want to get involved or cause any relationship drama. Hope this helps! Xoxo

1. Say your name 10 times.
2. Say your mom's name 5 times.
3. Say your crush's name 3 times.
4. Paste this to 4 other quizzes. If you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday, but if you read this and do not paste this, then you will have very bad luck! SEND THIS TO 5 QUIZZES IN 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOU'RE DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSH'S NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS ON THE SCREEN. THIS IS SO FREAKY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS

Ok so I've liked my boyfriend since like April and he knows it and then I worked up the nerve to ask him out on the Fourth of July and he said yes problem is he used to date my friend and everyone said he was totally in love with her and also liked me and he says he likes me and all that and we flirt but sometimes it seems like he's into me and sometimes he's just bored is he into me or not ??? Many people have told me to break up with him or that he's not the person that I think he is and tht I'm blinded by love butI don't listen and I've confronted him about it too I'm SOOO CONFUSED !!!!!!!! Help ?




Hey girlie,

You can't listen to what other people tell you, think you should do, etc. - you're the one who is IN the relationship, so you call the shots! Do you feel good around him? Does he respect you? Are you happy? If so, try to accept that every guy is going to have a past - you can't compare yourself to his old girlfriends or constantly ask yourself "Omg does he love me?!" because you'll drive yourself crazy. Try to enjoy your relationship, have fun, and get to know him better. If he's giving you the cold shoulder a lot, he's not treating you right and you deserve better. If you're just letting your doubts make you worry, try to loosen up and just enjoy it one day at a time. But if you need to constantly be talking/flirting just to make yourself feel like he's into you, try to remember it's normal for him to have a life and other interests! Relationships are all about balance Smile

My boyfriend used to be totally in love with my best friend and now they've broken up and a month later she told me to date him and now I am but the thing is everyone still says he's in love with my best friend and I'm just a re-bound . and My best friend is telling me things like "he's a horrible person" and "You should break up with him" when she's the one who set me up with him and sometimes it seems like he's into me and sometimes it's like he doesn't care WHAT SHOULD I DO ??? Because I feel like I'm totally in love with him and I'm also confused .

 

Hey girl,

If you really like him, be watchful of his actions. Does he show genuine interest around you? Or does it seem like he's always paying most attention on your friend when everyone is hanging out? If so, your boo might still have feelings for your BFF. In this case, move on. There are plenty of fish in the sea, and it's not worth waiting around to see if he can get over his feelings for another girl. You might even try talking to him about it by hinting about the rumors and explaining that you trust him and just want to know his true feelings on the whole situation. If it seems like he's really into you, don't worry. Your BFF might be a tad jealous (and missing him a little), so take her advice with a grain of salt.
