Is it normal to like someone who used to like you?

There's this guy who really likes me and he kept asking me out, and it was really getting on my nerves so eventually I said yes so he would stop. Then we broke up. I never really liked him anyway I just wanted him off my back, but then he kept asking me. On valentines day he gave me chocolates, and told me he loved me and all that stuff and I was frozen. I had never liked him........ Until 2 weeks ago. Now I find myself emailing him and texting him because we decided that rather that be all awkward about it see would be friends, and I like him now.... Is it normal to like someone after they stopped liking you?

    Lots of people seem to have been in this situation, so in that sense it's normal. Some people tend to want what they can't have. Can't say I've felt that way myself, but that's just me. Come to think of it, I have been attracted to people who used to like me before but not in a very strong way.

    Anyway, back on topic: just ask him if he's still interested in you. There's a chance he really has moved on by now, but there's also a chance he actually is still interested deep down but is concealing it. No harm can come from asking :)

    sometimes you don't know what you have until it's gone. Bummer.

    People are often put off by someone who gives them too much attention. Maybe that was the problem in the first case, or may be he just changed. Either way I don't see any problem with you two pursuing a relationship now.

    Yeah, that's normal. Something similar happened to me a while back.

    I met a girl and she was in a relationship, although I became well-acquainted with her during the course of a few months. Despite her serious mood and inability to humor me, she was a great listener and cared so much about me. I texted her to find out if she felt anything for me; she admitted that she was falling for me. As a matter of fact, she was willing to leave her current boyfriend for me. What I did next was stupid: I friend-zoned her and ceased communications for an entire year. After that time-span, I analyzed my thoughts and realized that I developed feelings for her. Ironically, I still have yet to speak with her.

    Don't underestimate those who show you attention.

    I'm sure it's is.

    I can't say that this has ever happened to me, though.

    Yup you missed the attention that he gave, when apparently you were too good for him at the time.
