I was hanging out with a guy I liked and his friends on Tuesday. They kept cracking jokes and I thought they were laughing with us but they were really laughing at me because he really doesn't like me :( He got me a couple of gifts for my birthday, which was Wednesday, but it really wasn't much help. He would have been a good match, I thought, but apparently he's not into me. I wish I could find someone like him but without the crappy treatment.

The crappy treatment could have been him trying to impress his friends. The best thing to do, is to sit him down alone and talk to him about it. Be honest with him, and let him how it made you feel. Find out what his deal is.

I talked to him alone afterward and he said he didn't like me. He wanted to still come over and play video games, but I told him no. Why would I want to spend any more time alone with a guy who isn't my boyfriend? That could get in the way of a relationship with a more worthy guy.

though its ok to spend time alone with people I do see your point. But it sounds to me like he's using you as an excuse to play video games. I'd personally cut ties with him. If he's gonna act like that, he's not worth it.

I kind of want to agree with in that it sounds like he was just going along with his guy friends. It's douchey and immature on his part, and I'm sorry you had to go through it :/

Also, there's no reason you can't simply be friends, though from what I can see, he's not that into treating his female friends very well. I'm not sure that the mentality of him "[getting] in the way of a relationship with a more worthy guy" is a healthy one, as it sounds almost vindictive and the feeling of needing to show him up could interfere with any relationship you do get into.

That's true. I guess I meant that I wanted to find someone who would treat me better. Not necessarily a better guy, just one who wouldn't do this to me.

He says that he doesn't like you but he wants to play video games with you and even got you some presents for your birthday? Somehow that makes no sense to me...or did he just mean to say that he likes you as a friend but not enough to start a relationship with you ?

I wouldn't bother with him anymore. Maybe you can still be friends, if the situation was different, but I agree that it's not worth spending time with him if he doesn't like you or treat you well. It's one thing to say that he likes you as a friend/person but isn't attracted to you, but telling you they don't like you and treating you like that is just not a good friend so there is no point in wasting any more of your time hanging out with them.

Of course I don't know the full details, and he did get you a present, but that doesn't really mean that he's a good friend, he might have gotten you something just to make you want to stay friends with him, but you should never force yourself to hang out with someone who doesn't treat you right.
