What does it mean when a guy sends you a song?

Asked by VirgoGirl826 (469points) January 23rd, 2016

It’s a guy I’d had a crush on in middle and high school, but he didn’t feel the same; he’d actually started ignoring me me for a whole other crowd after I told him how I felt. I’m in college now and he recently sent me a friend request. I went on and accepted it (which I regret now…) and he started messaging me. We talked for a bit about school and stuff, and then he starting flattering me telling what a nice person I am, basically telling me his whole life plans… then after some more talking he sent me a kissy face emoji and a blushing emoji. And we weren’t even talking about music at all when he randomly sent me a youtube video link to a song called “Only in My Dreams” by some dude named Ariel Pink. Some of the lyrics are, “if at first you don’t succeed at love just dream a little dream about a girl so real… if only in my dreams she’ll be right here next to me…‘cause you’re the one in love… if only in my dreams you’re the luckiest girl in the world”. It would be very sweet, if I still liked him. But I don’t…

Sounds like he wants to hook up. Maybe he’s regretting blowing you off back in the day? Maybe he’s not getting girls like he used to back in the day? A lot of guys were cool in high school and much less so after.

If you don’t like him, just be direct and honest. It’s better for both of you.

If I was a betting woman, I’d put money on the fact that he’s trying to tell you he wants to get together. Sadly, he’s missed the boat. As @gorillapaws says, be direct and honest and let him know.

It can mean the guy does not have the guts to come out and directly say how he feels about you. Also the song and it’s intent is wide open for misinterpretation as well.

When I do it I intend it to be a flirt.

“Only in my Dreams”?
yeah tell him he’s dreaming.
He is coming on too strong and it makes you uncomfortable.
Suggest a cooling off period.
If You want to be friends then start out as friends only…coffee etc.Keep it light.
