hard to get?

thers a guy that i really like...i think he likes me too, infact I know he does if that doesn't sound cocky. we have, wel, done stuff together but he said that he wasn't ready for a relationship-also that by expecting him to "rush around me" i will just push him further away.

basically can anyone tell me the perfect balance of how to play hard to get, but in a way that he stays interested and doesn't just forget about me?!any advice would be great thanks!

If you ignore him, I think he'll just think he missed his opportunity and not ask you out. I think he loves the attention so hang around him just the same. Maybe soon he'll realise that being in a relationship isn't that much more than doing stuff together as you are now.

Did he tell you that he wasn't ready, or did you ask him?

Yeah, ignore him a bit and flirt with other guys until he realises hes not particularly 'needed' or 'special'.

Ive done something similar before and its worked a treat. Just make sure you dont go too overboard and push him away.

As for the guy, he sounds a bit of an idiot for not wanting a relationship... Is he really worth it?

Is this guy really worth it if he doesn't do relationships, i'd try and find a guy who actually wants to be with you.

that's just going to piss him off and he'll go find another girl.

Depends to what extent you do it.
As I said, it worked a treat for me.

its not that he doesn't "do" relationships... i think maybe his last girlfriend has put him off a bit by being realy needy and i dont want to end up being the same!!

To be honest, saying you're "not ready" for a relationship is often an excuse, from what I've seen. Is it possible he may find you sexually attractive but just doesn't want to go out with you? I've had that before.
