Depends on the guy. But i'm sure the right person could change his mind unless he means he's going down a different path (gay).

Yeah, I'd think that if there was someone he really wanted to be with, he wouldn't shoot himself in the foot just to stick with some little statement he made.

bascially if a guy said he's not intrested in relationships and girls anymore...is he true to his word? or is it possible for someone to change his view??:frown:

Pretty much anything is possible...

Lots of people come out with statements like that without them meaning much. Having said that, if this is a guy you like and this is something he has specifically told you then you have to question his motivations for doing so. Perhaps he doesn't want a potentially awkward situation to arise. Equally though it might have been a throw-away line. A girl I was vaguely interested in said something along the lines of "I find the idea of having a boyfriend repulsive at the moment". She didn't say it to me as such (we were having a group discussion) but it did make me wonder.

Speaking for myself, I don't really want a relationship now but I know that if some amazing girl came along I wouldn't hold onto my principles out of some stupid pride or whatever.

My boyfriend said exactly that to me last year before we went on a break. At first I thought there was someone else and actually there was but in the end they didn't get together, lol. Anyway, I think it was kind of just a phase because he's snapped out of it and now we're back together, better than ever. Don't worry yourself about it hun - leave him to it, maybe just stand by for a little while and see if he snaps out of it any time soon, but don't wait around forever.

If it helps I am in a non-relationship mood at the moment, it changes all the time. I spent most of my 18-23s not wanting a boyf at all. Ergh.

That said it could be boy speak for saying he is not interested in you. :frown: He's mad. You're fabulous and deserve much better!

hey, thanks that was really helpfull:smile:
ye it is a guy i do kinda like, but i havent had great relationships in the past and so been single for about 2 years now. but i dont want a relationship right now, but maybe later and he seems like a nice guy... but when he said that he kinda put me off. and now i feel theres no hope..but i dont know.i feel the same way, but id like to think at some point a guy will change the way i view relationships...
you will not change his mind by pestering him. He either has no interest in girls, or he simply does not want to date you. Either way, let him be

I can guarantee you that someone could change his mind. Nobody can say for certain why he said it, but it can actually be a tactic some guys use in order to increase interest from girls. By saying that he is not interested in girls he knows that they will think that he is not desperate (unlike a lot of other guys) and they will be intrigued to know if he is really interested in them or not. So by saying this he distinguishes himself from other guys and therefore increases interest from girls such as yourself. Although I might be thinking too deeply and just be talking rubbish!

Sometimes something like that is just a let down.. Its easier to reject girlfriends in general than a partucular person.

Sorry if that isnt what youw anted to hear, but it could be true..
