Will he ever like me?

If he says he likes you as a friend, either accept his friendship with grace or tell him that you can't continue a friendship because it hurts too much. Doing anything else is unfair to him and to you.

Let's say you do hold out hope that eventually he'll change his mind when he "gets really desperate." Don't you deserve better than someone who turns to you out of sheer desperation? Don't you think you should be someone's first choice, not where he settles when he can't get someone else? You are better than being someone's also-ran!

People in healthy relationships have another name for the friendzone. They call it "friendship." If you can't be this guy's friend with no strings attached, no awkward attempts to force a relationship and no subtle messages that you're still available, then don't be. It's a shame to sacrifice an otherwise good friendship over it, but that's a better idea than making yourself a fool for love. .

You definitely aren't destined to be forever alone just because one male friend has opted to stay just friends. Speaking of friends, are you 100 percent certain your friend who was the go-between got her facts straight? If you have any doubt of that, you owe it to yourself to ask this guy directly.

When a guy says he only likes you as a friend it means no way he's going to go out with you other than friends and most likely isn't attracted to you.

I don't know but I never pursued guys who weren't attracted to me also. In fact I prefer if they like me a lot ore than I like them.

He will like you if you smoke.

Rather forget about that relationship and if anything, just stay friends.

If he ever does come to you wanting to be more than friends, there will always be the possibility he is just horny and wants to take advantage of you.
That type of relationship won't last.

If he really cared about you, he would have made his move already.
You are probably 'not his type' and never will be. If he is ever attracted to you, it will only be temporary.

Sorry to lay these harsh words on you, but it's better if you're cautious and can avoid getting hurt in the future.

Cut off all connection with him. If he didn't come to find you, just move on.

Make a move anyway.

Because if you like him, chances are somebody else will too.

Get drunk with him, he will switch to your team i can guarantee it.

My friend slept with a girl dubbed "The beast from the east" when he had beer goggles. If he managed to get hard enough to do that, im pretty sure anything can happen.

(Note: "Beast from the East" Isn't an Asian racial slur, she was Ukrainian, 6'6" had arms like Hulk Hogan, stubble, and a mooey to boot. Im pretty sure she had an adams apple too. Suprisingly my friend gets all the ladies, so he isnt ugly and desperate, i guess its experimentation)

jus accept and move on unless he changes his mind
