Relationship Problem

I know this doesn't have anything to do with calories but I need some advice and I don't really know where else to ask. I have this problem where I like a guy and when he starts to like me back, I stop liking him. In my freshman year, there was this guy that I liked, but as soon as he started liking me back, I didn't know what to do. I tend to be shy and he kind of was, too, and conversations between us were kind of awkward once we liked each other. I didn't like the awkwardness, so I started avoiding him and we got more distant until we weren't really friends anymore, which is sad because he was a good friend.

Now there's this guy that I've liked for a few months, and we've been hanging out more and talking a lot, and I think he likes me, too. He's really sweet but I'm kind of afraid that he'll ask me out, because if he does I'm not sure what I'll do. There are things about him that I don't like, and I've been thinking about them latley and comparing them with the things I do like. I don't get whats wrong with me. Maybe I'm afraid of comittment or being in a relationship, I don't know. If anyone has advice for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I don't really have advice, but I do understand what you're going through. There's a lot of things that could possibly cause this. Maybe you're scared of commitment, maybe once you start getting to know them better you find you're just not as interested as you thought. I think my problem was that the chase was the part I liked, not the relationship. So once I the guy started liking me, it was like the fun part was over, I had won the challenge and I was bored.

I haven't figured out how to get over this yet... I figure some day I'll grow out of it and want to settle down.

I had the same problem. But when I met my husband it wasn't like that at all. It was go from day one, and  I never got scared off, like I did with just about all other guys.  Just see how you feel and don't force yourself into something that is uncomfortable.

first off, you're young, so you don't have to concern yourself with being in a committed relationship. second, i have your EXACT PROBLEM. it's happened to me with like five different guys. i just ended an almost 6-month relationship (my longest ever) because he was way more committed than i was. and i've liked my best friend on and off, basically whenever he's dating someone or whenever he doesn't really show interest in me. twice though he's said he thinks he likes me, and then i freak out and pull back. i don't know what the exact issue is, but i decided to just not worry about it. hell, i'm not going to get married any time soon so why worry about staying committed? i think it's something you grow out of.

You're young and still aren't sure about things. Understandable. But maybe you should take a risk and go for this.  If you are both really into each other it may be worth it in the long run.  I met my boyfriend the summer of my sophomore year, we've been together for 2 years and I am so glad i took the chance of being with him because I dont know what i'd do without him, he's my best friend.

I think everyone does this when they're young. One good thing about getting old and jaded is that you don't worry about it anymore. I take the mens off like I take off my socks.
