The most confusing guy ever. Period.

Right so, I like this guy the same age as me. He recently broke up with his girlfriend and was extremely hurt by her. He was, you could say, a "player" before her and she really changed him, but then went and cheated on him. So they broke about two months ago and since then he kinda seems into me. Up until I broke up with my boyfriend he didn't really do anything obvious but smile at me and stare angrily at him. After I broke up with my boyfriend (we broke up because he fell for my best friend and she fell for him...) he started being a bit more obvious.

One day we were at this cafe and I took a really nice picture and I showed him the picture and I said "I really like the picture" to which he replied "The picture is awful, you're beautiful though."

This other time, same cafe, it was me, a friend and him. And I was going to have a sleepover at her place and I said "I can't wait for tonight" and I honestly don't know how he picked up the word Chris, but he stared at me and went like "Chris huh? Who's Chris? You're gonna sleep at his place?" With one eyebrow up.

Same day we were walking towards a park and my friend was in the middle. I looked at him and he was looking at me and we made eye contact and normally I would look away. And I couldn't. It was like his gaze trapped my gaze and it was really weird...for lack of a better word.

So today, we go out, me, my friend(with the sleepover, btw she's his best friend), my ex, his best fried(a girl) and him. After a while my ex and his best friend leave.I say that I'm really annoyed by him because I feel like he stole my best friend. The guy I like doesn't even wait for me to finish, he said "Yeah, you still like him!!! I know you still like him! That's why you're so mad". I'm like "No, really, no. It's just I feel betrayed and stuff." It took some convincing but eventually he understood.

So after another while my friend leaves and it's just me and him and we talk, obviously. The conversation got to our exes and he says that he doesn't want another relationship because he doesn't see the point if he's gonna end up suffering anyway. He says he's still young and he just wants to have fun. I told him that I don't think he's like this but because of what his ex did he needs reassurance that he's still good looking and worth something. And he goes "Yeah, I know. You're right." And looks down.

He tells me how his ex was really clueless regarding pretty much everything and that one day they had an argument about some dance move, I think grinding dance, it's called. That thing you do in the club with a guy that involves grinding, I'm not sure how you call the dance move -.-. So he says that he'll show me and... he showed me, like in an alley somewhere. And it was hot the way he held me, I thought at least... but maybe that is just me.

Then a while after when we were walking home he says that if he's out with a girl he gets to know her pretty quickly, what she's like. And I say, given the fact that we were alone for about 4 hours, "So how am I like?" and he says "I don't know, I didn't want to get to know you. I mean I did... but I don't know." Confusing much?

His best friend says he likes me 100%. He smiles a lot when he's around me, doesn't like my ex or me talking about him, gets nervous every time I talk about another guy, says I have "sensual lips" and stuff like that. At the same time he says he doesn't like me, but I don't know. All signs beg to differ still I'm confused. Does he really like me? And if he does what should I do, cuz I really like him...

Please I need a guy here to sort this out.
Thanks.

How is he confusing? He clearly likes you, but also shows some serious signs of manipulation and control issues, which are both of concern. I'd just wait for him to make a move, and if he doesn't, he is too much of a pansy to date anyways.

How old are you? Based on this post I'd guess mid-late teens, but I'd like to know.
