"The only reason you're not in a relationship is because of your pride."
I never said anything about wanting to be in a relationship and we're just friends. What was he trying to imply by saying this. And no "he wants you" type answers. Does he think I'm full of myself as a lot of guys do? ugh

Well this same thing has happened to me. He probably feels that you might think you're too good for him...or any guy. You dont have to say anything, it's just that most guys do not like seeing girls act strong and assertive. They dont like girls who are extremly independent and make it known that they can live without a man. It's really sad that they think this way, but its better to be like this than some dependent weak girl who needs a man to define her. SO continue to be who you are and not let him tell you what you should be like and determine your relationship potiential.

Pride means conceit or vanity. He was not giving you a compliment, if he truly knows the meaning of the word, pride. My guess is, he doesn't really mean that you are too conceited or vane. I bet he is trying to tell you that you are too afraid to take a chance and lower your perfect expectations and get involved in a relationship. The next time you see this man, you should let him know that you were under the impression that the two of you were just friends, and if he wanted to take your friendship to the next level he had better find a different way of showing his interest. Explain what pride means, and that you are in no way conceited or vane. See what he has to say to that...Good luck!

There is nothing wrong with having pride in yourself. And I would look at his statement as a compliment to you, and a very telling statement about himself. He would appear to not have a whole bunch of self esteem. It is easier for him to try and tear you down, then to make the effort to build himself up.
Please continue to "be full of yourself". In the long run, you can only count on yourself, so being a strong woman will be a great thing for you in life. And there WILL be the right man who will value you for who you are.

Usually if a person has a lot of pride, they're afraid to express how they really feel or try new things. Are you insecure? I've had so many "labels" put on me in life, that I try not to get too upset how other people feel anymore. Just be yourself. Don't try to be something you're not.

If you don't want to be in a relationship that's your business. If the guys think that you're full of yourself then that's their problem because they can't "move the mountain" so speak.
Contunue to live your life girl. The "mountain" will begin to move when you want it to move.
Don't let their "problem" be yours!
YOU GO GIRL!

OK. He is either a complete idiot or he is playing some kind of wierd head game with you. It's pretty pathetic that his game is so weak he tries to make you think there is something wrong with you for not wanting to be with him. You probably are full of yourself, but aren't we all?

Maybe he wanted to be in a relationship with you before, but then you did something that made him think you are to proud, cuz you weren't interested in him as a boyfriend in first place

well honestly to answer your question completely we would sort of need to know how you are like how your personality is you feel me?
but if a lot of guys say that maybe you should try to evalute yourself to se if you are and dont notice
ALSO! if its one thing i learned, dont change yourself for some guy! if they dont like you for who you are theres no need for them.
and maybe your friend likes you but who knows he could even know someone else who does but knows it wont work because you're personality would bump heads with another
hope i was helpful
