It depends. I’ve done things like that for friends of mine who were overwhelmed, feeling down, needed some TLC asap, or were even depressed. Sometimes to just say thank you for what you did for me. It’s a sign of love, compassion or gratitude.

Most posters here seem to disagree with you.

Well, according to your posts, which I helpfully outlined in my post on page 1 of this thread, this guy treated you like shit. I guess I’m just wondering why you let people treat you that way. That was why I asked my question repeatedly.

Other posters chimed in as well. Why did you not answer any of us? Were you embarrassed that why yes, you are indeed letting this guy treat you like shit? Again.

Look at all that concern.

Can you understand now why I am asking if it is the same guy? I was concerned about you. I wonder why it took you so long to answer that why yes, it is the same guy. Also, while I have your attention, will you also post again when he treats you as badly as he did the last time?

Best of luck.

I would say hes been treating me well lately. I’ve seen him 24 days in a row now. He took a drive to NY the other day and asked if I wanted to come along. Being spontaneous, I went.

Well, if you do make a move, I recommend locking the bedroom door first. He’s liable to get up during to go to the bathroom and never come back. And later ask for condom money.

Last week, before he left, he initiated a hug and held it til I let go, and said we need to be professional in public, we can have feelings but, so I am guessing he is saying he also has feelings.  
Also, he said (about some job) “You can see me every day then…I want to see you.” Every day, I said? Yeah.

Sorry, BB, that he’s such an asshole that he pretended to like you romantically to get ahead. But choose to remember the journey, not the destination. You seriously seemed like you were having fun. If you are devastated, go ahead and grieve, but then pick yourself right up and use your new experience to find a better guy in the future.

The pictures I’ve seen of you look like this woman I had a crush on in high school, and I believe you are a little bit older than that. I bet there are plenty of guys who would love to get to, ahem, know you a little better. Good luck!

Wah, someone’s not doing exactly what I tell them! They must have nefarious intent!

She’s nervous because she’s with a guy she likes. She wanted encouragement to do it, or advice on why not to. That’s it.

And, guess what? The actual opinion given in this thread was wrong: he didn’t like her. (The other one, that he’s a douche, was right, but, hey, she likely knew that.)

There’s absolutely no reason someone has to take the advice they are given. Just because I ask for your opinion doesn’t mean you become my master. Not all people will follow your advice. Get over it.
