I don't understand why guys don't like me?

I like this guy and im pretty, i guess. And he doesn't seem to like me. He dated a girl that was taller than him. I'm taller than him and pretty like her. Why can't he date me, i would literally write a paragraph about him, and even cry for him. Im shy and she has a lot of friends, so that's probably why. I really don't understand. He probably doesn't even think about me. Now i just feel icky and sad.

    This is what I don't understand. Why do girls not tell guys they like that they are into them? It breaks down so many unneccessary walls.

    Girl - "I like you"
    Guy - "Aww that's cute, thanks"
    Girl - "No, I LIKE you"
    Guy - "Really?"
    Girl - "Yes"

    -Next day-

    Guy - "So, about what you said yesterday, about liking me and stuff..."
    Girl - "Yes..."
    Guy - "Well, it made me really think about you a lot, so I wondered if you wanted to go for a drink some time?"
    Girl - "OMG are you kidding me?!?! Sure!!!"

    Then go have a drink and fuck eachother senseless later that night.

    BOOM! Done.

    This is a tough one. Sometimes people just aren't attracted to people. Have you tried giving him a pretty obvious sign, like put some physical contact in there, that might do the trick.

    If love was a person they'd be calling you a coward.

    Why care about a guy who will probably end up cheating on his gf anyway

      You don't know that for sure, besides what if he's not interested in OP because he doesn't have anything in common with her?

          It says that I STRONGLY disagree. I've known more women who cheated on men than the other way around. People cheat in general, women aren't saints in the matter.

          I've also known plenty of men and women, myself included who don't. Generalizing your own experience with males to an entire sex is extremely narrow minded.

    Most people leave shy people alone because they figure there is some reason they are standoffish.

    Why not approach him talk to him. It's ok for you to ask him out.

    You're just shy or something, just address the guy a bit, show him your interest, peck his cheek. Be cute to him. If he's attracted to you, things will happen on it's own. If he's not, that's not the end of the world either. It happens.

    Just remember though that some guys just don't initiate. They're shy or they're scared or they're just not the type to do that. It's perfectly okay to start things yourself.

    A bullet not fired always misses.

      Is it just me that finds that sort of typing annoying and irritating as hell. And besides it just looks kinda stupid.

        Not really. A person who makes one cry is a waste of time.

          He didn't even do anything.

            This is true actually. He hasn't really done anything except mind his own business, and not notice her. It's certainly not a crime to not notice someone, nor reciprocate any romantic interest, and I'll always believe as such.

            However, I would say my comments are really more about trying to encourage OP to forget about this person, and move on with her life than attempting to disparage or berate this guy. If OP chooses to wake up bright and early one morning, and put her rabid infatuation for this guy behind her it will do her a world of good, but not harm him in the least. Maybe the reason he's not into her is that they have no shared interests? Maybe they're just not compatible. Life is about more than just bring pretty.

    He's either a shallow prick douchebag who actually thinks there's an airbrushed perfect woman waiting to suck him off. Either that or he's gay. Men are delusional idiots!

      He barely talked to the girl and she hasn't exactly shown interest herself.

      On top of that, just because you are a female does not mean you are entitled to the affection of the man of your choice. That's some straight up sexism right there.

      If anything, you're the one who sounds delusional here.

        No one is ever entitled to have the object of his or her affection reciprocate their interest. The majority of people are so selfish, entitled and completely devoid of insight with regard to such matters.

        If I had a dollar for everytime someone claimed to be "in love" with some poor, unsuspecting soul when in fact what they're experiencing is simply a crush or infatuation I would be a very rich woman!

        Sadly a vast majority of people insist on labeling their desperate and obsessive base desires as love. Just because someone is beautiful or handsome is not a reason to proclaim the delusion of being in love to rest of us. Many people who think they are in love are actually just experiencing mind numbing lust for some poor unsuspecting person.

        Finally I want to assert that neither are males entitled to the affection of the woman of their choice. Regardless of sex, or orientation there are way too many people on the planet who get all jazzed up about someone they have crush on, and are even daft enough to proclaim that they are in love with the person only to turn all hateful and booty-hurt when the person either does not reciprocate their interest or outright rejects them. That's not real love it's just a childish crush at best, and an obsessive infatuation at worst.

        Sorry for my crazy rant.
