There's this guy in my youth group, and he used to be mean to me. He would
call me names and be really rude. Then he stopped, and he even apologized! I
had no idea what was going on, but now he hangs around me all the time, and we
always end up talking. Does he like me?
His Answer: “He probably likes you and was trying to get
your attention in an immature way,” says Lewis, 15. “Now he's trying to be more
mature by talking to you all the time.”
Decoded: Boys
aren’t always sure how to get us girls to notice them. They often end up being
mean in their attempts to get attention. Eventually, they realize actually
talking to us is a better move. Most guys wouldn’t put in this much effort if
they didn’t have some feelings for you.
Your Move: It’s
good that he apologized – otherwise we’d tell you move on... fast! Being a jerk is not
a way to get a girl. If he seems like he’s truly making an effort to mend the past, give
him a chance. He was probably just nervous about approaching you.
