Friendzoned??

A boy I like friendzoned me. So in return I just stopped all communications. I'm not interested in being friends with guys I'm looking for something serious. Ever since I stopped communicating with him he has done things to repeatedly get my attention. Like flirting with girls in front of me and smiling at me as it's being done. I don't know if he's trying to get a reaction but it's childish.

You’ve got two options…

1.

Ignore him

This would probably lead to a pause in the childish behaviour over time!

1.

Talk to him about how you feel about his behaviour

You could make him realise how you’re feeling about what he’s been doing (e.g. purposeful flirting in front of you).

Both of you acted childish. Just keep on ignoring him, he wants you to respond.
Did you actually ask him out?

Dating comes up with a wide range of unwelcome surprises and it’s not clear what he’s up too. It doesn’t seem very nice or mature to be honest. It’s not completely fair to be annoyed that someone says they only want to be friends, but fine not to want to want the friendship. I would ignore the behaviour and find someone better

I believe you should tell me how you feel about Him and most importantly expect nothing. I did tell him my crush I like him and he didn't even react that time and trust that would sound really bad but I did help me to make up my mind and I felt so much relaxed rather than expect him be to the man I won't without even telling him I needed that from him

No I was waiting for him to do so.

I'm annoyed because it's kind of a waste of time what was all the flirting about then. Honestly I just think he a player

You’re probably right. Dating and relationships are best and worst moments for sure
Sounds like you missed your shot, sulked and now he's winding you up. When you say it's childish, how old are you all, is this a school thing?

So rather than being friendzoned, all that's really happened is you've befriended someone.

If you fancy them, low key ask them out. "I had a good laugh chatting with you the other day, do you want to do X?".

A bit too late now, isn't it?

This is good advice but why are they both option 1

Both are significantly different. Option 1 involves avoiding this nuisance even further, in hopeful attempts that he will stop naturally (he seriously won't). Option 2 is the more ideal route, as this hindrance can finally understand he is not wanted, nor needed despite his dearly attempts to OP.

My mistake, but I probably just mistyped!

Go look for men who would love chasing you since that is what you like. If you are not mature enough to tell a man that you like them and believe that men are mind readers who must know what you think, go look for those elsewhere. Let that guy alone. Plenty of mimd readers for you In the sea.

Well said.

I know I was determined to be the wrong one when I saw Jelly's response to your statement. Fatal mistake costing 3 minutes of my life, but not the end of the world. Not the end of the world indeed.

If they're no longer interested in him they seem remarkably invested in his behaviour. They've either moved on and don't care about what he does, or still have feelings.
