About half a year ago, I met this guy I thought was amazing. I quickly fell for him, which is very unusual for me. I never felt that way about a guy before. But he turned out to have too many issues with himself to have a relationship. (anger, fear of love & getting hurt, etc) I was really hurt by his words and actions, but I've gotten over it for the most part, besides thinking about him once in a while. But now I'm not sure if I'm starting to like one of my guy friends. He is really nice, supportive, and positive. I enjoy spending time with him. Hes funny and his smile is cute. I don't know if I like him and can't admitt it to myself because I was really hurt by the last guy, or if I'm trying to force myself into liking him. I'm fine with being single, its much easier that way anyways. I've been thinking about my guy friend a lot lately, and can't seem to pin point whether I like him or not. I know he likes me though. I don't know what to do?!
Thanks for this!

When I find myself wondering about whether I feel some way or not, I find it most useful to interpret that as: I feel that way and I don't.

So I'd say: you like him, or some things about him, or some of the ways you feel around him. And there are some things about him, or about guys in general, or about the way you feel around him (or them) that you don't like. Now you get to be with both of those and choose what you're willing to accept: to keep seeing him, for instance, and accept that the parts you don't like so well will be there too, while you learn to deal with them; or to keep your distance and accept that the parts you did like won't be there, while you learn to get along without them. There's no right answer -- or if there is, you get to say which is right for you.

Good luck, and keep posting.
Thanks for this!

I would suggest going with the flow for now, you don't have to immediately decide you like or dislike him right now, just be yourself and be natural and enjoy yourself ^^ Hope I helped
