LeilaG Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 I met this guy I really like, and I got the feeling he liked me too. I got his number and we started texting each other. At the beginning he used to text back instantly. I got really excited because I have a major crush on him ... I went over-board texting him - every time I texted him, the messages just became longer and sillier (I cringe when I look back at them now! :'( ... ) Every time it would take him longer to text back ... He doesn't text back quickly like he used to. It took him days to reply to my last message, so I started wondering why ... ? I was left confused and now after going on a few websites (yes I'm that sad ... lol) I'm pretty sure I've put him way off since I've come across as too desperate ... But guys, you don't understand how sad I feel making this absolutely stupid mistake (texting him back quickly with very long and silly texts) ... because I'm sure he's no longer interested with someone who seems like a desperate and over-excited puppy ... Is there any way to get him interested in me after ruining it via text? I dunno how to reply to his last text (the one that took him years to reply to) because it sounded like he's no longer interested and he's just texting back to be polite by not completely ignoring it ... I don't want to seem desperate so do I ignore it and see if he texts back again? Or ignore it and see if he says anything to me next time I see him (later this week) ... and if he asks why I didn't text back (if I don't) what can I say to him? Any witty suggestions since he's quite a funny guy? Any help? I'm so gutted I wish I can go back and edit my texts ... Just to let you know I'm 19. And sorry if I sound really desperate and anxious (I am, pretty much. ) but this means a lot to me since I've never had a proper relationship with a guy before ... (yups sad I know) But guys just never seem interested in me ... So that's why I don't want to ruin my chances with him ... tbh I've probably already ruined it.
guitar23 Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 If you know you will see him, I would say don't text him back at this point. But definitely speak to him in person. If he truly has lost a bit of interest I doubt he will bring up you not responding. If he does bring it up just say you forgot, but you're working on the flux capacitor so you can go back a few days to respond in a timely manner. (Back to the Future reference..if you're 19 you may not get it....also is probably a terrible joke anyway...)
musemaj11 Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Its hard for girls to understand that when you constantly send a guy essays via texting or emails, you sound like a complete psycho.
biochemgrl Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 I don't see how a "texting" will form any kind of bond that's going to last very long. I think you'll have to be old fashioned and call, ask him to hang out, and see how it goes. I hate text messages, it's the worst form of communication for dating. It's fine for jokes, one line statements, or directions. It's not a conversation, if you need more than 140 characters to say it, don't text it.
