Confusion at it's finest

You know, the male species is extremely confusing. I'm not saying that women aren't crazy, confusing, emotional wrecks half the time, because we are. But, seriously. Why can't a guy just tell you he likes you and continue on that path, rather than saying it and talking for a while and then he'll start acting closed off and then be back to normal a couple days later. It's difficult! You'd think after 3 years I'd be used to it, but I'm still not. I just don't understand, I guess. And you know, I don't know if I ever will, so I guess I'm just gonna have to get used to it. Blargh! -_-
