I don't understand when a guy really like a girl then you tell them that you like them and they say they just wants to be friends. Why do girls do that? Can some one tell me that plz?!

Relationships develop through time. She probably didn't expect anything more than friendship. Its nice that you have friendship as your foundation for your relationship but you have to give hints that you want to go beyond it. Sometimes its just a matter of conditioning. How the girls think is really something confusing. Even girls get confused with it. There are some people whom they consider as friend material and there are some whom they consider as boyfriend material. It just has to be registered in their minds what kind of relationship they want to put the guy in. Its confusing I know but that's just how things work. There are also times when even mental conditioning doesn't help at all. This means that the girl really doesnt want more than friendship from you. If she rejects you, give it a little time and observe her behavior towards you. If its back to normal maybe she's gotten over the initial reaction. you can try again. But if it really doesn't work, don't force the issue. There are lots of women out there. Good luck!

Hey solson It has happened to me once, a guy asked me out but I didn't know him enough so I told him we should just be friends first and then we will see. Then, when I began to know him better and to like him, we dated. I think that girls say that because they want to know the guy better, or because they really don't want to date this guy but they don't want to hurt him too. It's a good way to say "wait&see" :) httpx

Personal experience on this. If they say it they are not attracted to you and they are trying to spare your feelings. Not all the time though (some women may value your friendship more), but a good number of times this is the case. A friend of mine sent me this website as a sample. http://www.laddertheory.com/ Although I do not agree with everything there, I can understand it through experience, cases and observations.

seems she doesnt show any interest in you like that as you do her you never said she liked you the way you like her also , i think you just need to accept and move on to someone else there no point of waisting your time on her , she seems to made up her mind already
