The Student Room Group

What's he playing at?

If there are any boys who could shed some light on the behavior of this man I'd be most grateful...

Ok this guy who I work with invited me over to the pub on Sunday, we're good friends (at least I thought we were) and everything was cool until we got to his and it was just the two of us. He' a really huggy kind of person, and kept hugging me, but I felt a bit uncomfortable with this as I'm not used to male attention :s: Anyway he sensed this and didn't hug me again after that, and I left shortly afterwards.

Last night it was the staff night out, he was there, and totally ignored me all night which was really upsetting. Is this him playing games or did I bring it on myself? I don't know what to think and it's really bugging me :frown:

He needs to know whether you actually like him. He's striving for the attention to make sure you like him. Or suttn like that. :|

He has a girlfriend, but apparantly the relationship is on its way out. Do you think I should tell him? Or tell someone else who will no doubt tell him (my work is terrible for gossip!)

hug him like a hurricane!!!
Well he might not be looking for a relationship he may just be look for pletonic love because some men just like having close friends who are girls because I think it kind of makes you not worry so much about relationships. My advise would be just talk to him and find out whether it is he's interested in you in more than friends or just close friends. Hope I helped good luck

Maybe he thought you thought he was an idiot or something and he felt embarrassed about hugging you? That would explain why he ignored you, but I don't know....

Could be... I'm just rubbish around men, I don;t get a lot of attention but I guess I'll just have to learn to cope if I'm gonna find a man (only just split up with my bf of almost 3 years you see). How would you react if that was you in his place if the girl came and apologised?

i guess he feels a little rejected because he was trying to hug you and show nice..ness... to you, and you turned it down. he probably doesn't have the confidence to come up to you know because he thinks you will just reject him again. try talking to him.

How exactly did you cause him to stop hugging you? Did you show disinterest? Push him away? Tell him to stop hugging you? Any of the latter two and there's your answer, you offended him and now he feels stupid.

He was the one who asked me if I wanted him to stop hugging me... He'd noticed I was really on edge, I got really really nervous when it was just us two alone togethey.

Are you hot? Are you sure its on its way out? Tell him just casually that its a shame he does have a girlfriend cause you would like to go out with him then he will drop her like a bag of cats.

He seems to think so, but I don't...

The thing is she used to be my boss :s: I think what I'll do is say that I like him to someone who's a big gossip, and it'll get back to him within a week, guaranteed. Or I could cut the crap and just tell him myself?
