Do you think he likes her?

Question

A guy will sit and wait for her messages on IM and cellphone. He doesn't say anything to her because she has a really bad BF who physically abused her. She told the guy she likes him more than her XBF but because of too much drama she gave him before. She not sure why he doesn't answer her but before all the drama (different drama she got confused with the two guys) he did talk to her and told her he could never be angry at her..but now he just reads the messages and not answer her.,,do you think he is afraid of her XBF..the guy knows she left her BF..they are real friends not IM friend. Why he is acting like this way to her..she doesn't understand she told him she knows that they are just good friends..now

Answer 1

What business is it of yours?

Answer 2

Yes, he seems to like her, but maybe he's waiting to see if she goes back with the XBF. Maybe he's not sure what to expect from her, and now that the dust has settled from the situation she was in and she's safe, he reads her messages, but is waiting to see if she is ready to get into another relationship.
He may be debating on whether to get involved with her because the guy may be so violent that he will come after him, and he's just waiting until he knows it's safe.
I hope this helps. Good luck, and congratulations for getting out of an abusive relationship. It takes a lot of courage, and your friend will be much stronger for it..

Answer 3

Maybe he does like her but is scared to do anything about it. People who come out of bad relationships find it hard to trust again and it takes time. He could also be worried that he may unintentionally hurt her or upset her. If she had a really bad experience perhaps it is just better to give her more time. And yes he could be scared of the XBF but from my experience men who abuse/hit women are bullies and cowards and usually avoid confrontation with other men
