Is it normal...?

[slleipnir]

If you still like him as a friend, then why not still be just friends? That way you're not worried if he is saying things about other girls or whatever? Then again, sometimes it's just awkward to be friends with someone you were going out with...

I would say I agree with slleipnir. If you still like him and just want to be friends that is ok.

Thing is, we were never going out.

He told me I was pretty and that he would love to go out, he just wanted us to get to know each other first. I feel like crap when he tells me girls are pretty, because I don't get told it often, and it made me feel really special. But when he says it about other girls it makes me feel awkward and out of place.

He doesn't sound good for you as a bf. However, maybe he is just shy. It's easier to talk to someone when it's not in person. Why not be friends for a while and see where it goes? Most guys will say how pretty other girls are, as far as I'm concerned this is natural so long as they don't act on it.

well I don't know if that's normal.. (so common so yes probably) because normally, I wouldn't want go back to this guy if he can't stick with me.

have you asked him if he wanted it to be more than just friends or have you thought what you wanted for the relationship too?

Awww!
im super shy too. but over the internet its quite the opisit. however when its in person i clam up untill i feel more confortable with the person.

just try to be around him more and see if his shyness fades.
do you know if he likes video games or anything else? try to talk about something else that he likes.


and i hate that song and video by the way...LOL

Be friends - it is always good to have a friend you enjoy being around. Don't feel funny about him saying other girls are pretty - it doesn't mean he thinks you aren't, that's just your own insecurity. It is just a guy kinda thing to do.(I like guys - most of my good freinds in school and life have been guys - heck, I even married a guy!) You can always join the conversation by offering your opinion, or asking him what he thinks is pretty about whatever girl, or pointing out guys you think are cute.
