Are guys really mean?

[windycity]

I already know my crush is not interested in me but I still gave him a birthday gift (i dropped it off in his car this morning) and a sweet love letter expressing my feelings for him. On my letter I said "I still like you but you don't have to like me back". He didn't even say thank you just no response at all! He knows my cell no. and email. I was kinda hoping he'd at least send me a text saying "thank you".

Are all guys this way? What kind of creature am I up to?

If he don't like you, leave him alone.

Why would you keep giving him unwanted attention?

He's not obligated to give you any thanks, just leave him alone.

[anachronistic]

don't give the kid unwanted attention. frasbee nailed it on the head.

i'd also like to throw in that not all guys are mean. don't develop that kind of mentality.

This girl gives me the impression that all girls are nuts...

[Gribble]

I'd be really creeped out if a girl I'm not even interested in left me gifts in my car.

Hopefully he will return the gifts the next time he sees you, and I agree with the boys... don't give gifts to people who don't care for you. It's creepy.

if he is a friend a gift is ok. if not i would agree with the others, as for guys being mean or not its not true, guys can be cruel, just as girls can be cruel to, if it has been 1 day, dont think much of it, when you see him in person and he doesnt say anything then i would believe hes either ignoring the fact you like him or hes not grateful, which point you could bring it up and see what he says. his response would almost certainly let you know where you sit with him

We're not that close friends anymore ever since that day I followed him to work and brought him hot soup. He's in construction and he was freezing working outside so I thought bringing him hot soup at his job will be a good impression. Ever since then, he ignored me for many months. I saw him a couple of times in the past two weeks and he approached me and said Hi and we talked for a little bit and he just acted normal like he didn't intentionally ignored me. He called me a week ago just to ask one of our friend's phone no.
Giving him the gift was more like a closure for me. At least I tried for the last time. I got the message; there's really no hope. I'm moving on.

Hi frasbee, thank you for you straightforward advice.

I'm just a romantic type of girl. I don't know how other guys perceived me. I obviously didn't make a good impression with my love interest.
I'm heart broken, I think I'm in love with him but I have to move on; like what you said leave him alone. I'm taking your advice to heart....

[windycity]

Vashti, that actually entered my mind, that he might return the gift.

[DoesntMatter]

That was nice and all for you to bring him hot soup on a cold day, but... it's kind of unusual/strange, no offense.

[Ellynn]

He probably is trying to give you the brush off in the nice way. Leave him alone! Trust me, the last thing you want to be known as is that "creepy pyscho stalker girl."

[anachronistic]

now now, i have met some really sane girls. the most mature women i have met were from foreign lands, though. it's a shame.

[DoesntMatter]

Personally, I think girls can be meaner than guys. I cannot believe how some girls treat eachother (middle school and high school girls). Exclusion and gossip are far worse than beating up someone on the playground.

[vashti]

As a female, I agree. Girls are a helluva lot meaner than boys.
