He messes with my head so much!!!!!! I can't take it!

I really liked a guy called Rick in the summer but I ended up going out with his cousin Charlie because he said that Rick has a girlfriend. Rick had made it clear that he liked me by flirting etc. and i was furious that he had given me false hope. Both of these guys were in a holiday place, and me and Charlie broke up as I was coming back to England.

Now, the thing is Rick was really weird on msn and he ignored me and hardly spoke to me. Later I found out that Rick never had a girlfriend, and his cousin lied so he could get me.


I have liked Rick ever since the summer and I really regret going out with his cousin. Yesterday night I texted him saying " I really like you , and I can't take it anymore. You won't get out of my mind" and he replied by saying something like "I'm quite surprised by your text I didn't expect it at all.. I wish everything was more different ( the long distance, everything that happened in the summer") and then I didn't reply back. He kept calling me and when I didn't answer he wrote a text saying "Why aren't u replying"

Me- "How can I reply to something like that? I told you how I feel but are you saying that something can never happen between us?"

Him- " I never said that or thought about that. The things that happened in the summer really got to me and I still feel hurt about it. You're a really nice girl and sweet. I always wanted you next to me ( including the summer) but it never happened :frown: "

We sent a few more texts, and he said that we would talk face to face if we have the chance in the summer.

From what you've read, do you think that he has feelings for me even though he has never said them clearly? What else do you make out from these conversations?

It's like one minute he gives me hopes and the other he totally ignores me and everything. That's what's driving me mad. I feel as though he's running away from me.

Sorry it's long but I really needed to write this. I'll be giving out rep to good answers. Thank you.

It appears Rick is not so slick afterall.

Why did you go galavanting off with Charlie if you had feelings for slick Rick?

sorry if i got this wrong but it sounds like his cousons played the pair of you. hes lied to you so he can have you and Rick liked you but then saw you going off with his cousin. i would suggest considering telling rick what Charlie said and thats why you acted in the way that you did.
however you may have to settle with only being friends with him if he truely belives it can't work regardless of the above. sorry

He knows that I went out with Charlie because of the lies he told me. I thought RIck played me, that's why i went out with Charlie! I know it was wrong but it seemed like a way for me to get revenge. I can't only be friends, I have liked him for nearly one year now. He never said that nothing would happen between us cos of that, just that he's still hurt.

well he needs time to heal and decide what he wants. you should proably back off a little and deffinatly don't sound desperate but at the same time don't stop trying to be his friend, because it would appear that is all you can be right now
