Have this ever occur to you? Once you fall in love with this girl, and she gave you a wrong perception that she also likes you. You thought that you can develop a relationship for her. Whenever she calls you, you were so happy and excited to see her, and you will give up everything what you were doing at the moment, and rush to see her. Days pass by, she gave you cold shoulder, and you saw her with another guy, and you were jealous. You confess how much you love her, and she told you she simply treated you like friends. All your hope crushed to pieces, and she just hate this girl for playing you. Should you blame her, or you simply been naive? I had seen this a lot, and it actually happen to me too. Maybe we shouldn't given it too much hope and expectation in a relationship. Let it flow, and we can still be friends.

Actually you have the right thinking there Kingparker. First, does it make clear to her what your intention is? Girls will make an assumption but they will not tell you. If you start making her feel important and you start dating with her, she can assume you are dating but when you are not telling her your intention then she will just assume that you are just dating. Maybe you fail to say the truth to her and you start to like her deeper that is why you get jealous seeing her with the other guy. You just have to make your intentions clear as maybe this girl is dating so many guys and for sure the other guy will be jealous when he will get to see you and her dating too. I hope you said your intention first then start dating her so that in every moment you are dating, she can analyse if your date can lead to relationship and she can test you in a way that you will prove how much you like or love her. If she started to give you cold shoulders, then you do not have to long for her anymore. Maybe she is seeing someone much better than you or maybe she likes the other guy more because if she likes you then she will not give the other guy a chance. I hope you start talking with her again and clear this things.

This is very common. I'm a guy and I'll give a guy's perception on this one: There is nothing gray for a guy, it is either black or white. Like for girls, guys can't perceive a 'I was just friends with you'. If you are behaving a certain way, then you are ought to be misunderstood.

This has happened to me many times when dating guys. They use me and would still like to be friends. I do not stay friends with people who lead me on.
