Why would a boy be mean to a girl he really likes?

Question

When I was in high school ( I am not saying how long ago) I went to school with a guy that was extremely rude to me and hurt my feelings all the time. (Wierdly enough, this guy is now a principal at a school) Anyway after going back to my school reunion several people told me he had liked me in High School. Why would a guy act this way if he liked a girl?

Answer 1

He is really immature and needs therapy. Thank goodness you never found out he liked you back then. If you had low self esteem you could have gotten together with this moron! Too bad he is in charge of children in his profession. Honey, you really need a hobby. I can't believe you took the time to even ask a question about this creep!

Answer 2

Not sure. But I had kind of a similar situation. There was a guy that was CONSTANTLY mean and picking on me. ALL THE TIME. After we got out of highshool, I found out that he actually had like me the whole time. We ended up dating for about 4 years...He just wanted to get my attention. :)

Answer 4

Coz they just do!
The nastier they were, more they liked U, it's their way of getting UR attention.
Then they grow up & learn how 2 express themselves better.
Well some do, some don't.
Grow-up seems 2 B optional 4 men!

Answer 5

I have no idea. Like they say, men are from Mars, woman are from Venus. Maybe he was hiding behind "the tough guy" mask and was afraid to express his feelings to you? You are right, this is not the way to express himself,even if he likes you. He was just being rude and mean. ignore him.

Answer 6

Its just how guys work. When they get embarrassed or if they are afraid to tell you about their feelings, they will show you another way, such as being rude to you. Either that or he was immature at that age. Most guys are

Answer 7

Maybe he was too scared to tell you that he liked you. Maybe he was so awestruck by how great of a person you were, that he felt he didn't measure up and you wouldn't give him a chance, and the thought of this hurt him and made him angry to think he didn't measure up, so he took his shortcomings out on you. He probably imagined you thought you were better than him!

Answer 8

because he did not know how to properly display his emotions.
Emotions for a high school boy are very tricky and often expressed in a manner that would seem contrary. picking on a girl he likes, laughing at a funeral, stuff like that

Answer 9

Sometimes people don't know how to handle their love so they try to release it but it never goes right. I do that to a guy and he does it back to me. My brother and his friend acted horrible to eachother and now they are boyfriend and friend. Humans are very complex works of art.

Answer 10

Because its verry common for a guy to be shy... and sorry to say it most guys normal reaction is to be mean... its his way of showing affection towards a girl or as to not show his weakness.
