greenee1 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Can someone please shed some light on my situation? I don't know if this guy I know likes me or if he is stringing me along. I'm a really shy, quiet girl and I met a guy at the restaurant I work in part-time. We didn't talk much to be honest because when I like people, I am so awkward around them and generally I kinda avoid them. But when I decided to quit, I plucked up the courage to ask for his phone number and we exchanged numbers. He has a great personality and he's really confident and outgoing so I was attracted to him. I was really happy when we exchanged numbers. At first, we texted each other quite a bit. He told me a lot about himself and he said he trusted me. Sometimes our conversations went on for 5 hours. When we finally met up in person, I could tell he was really nervous. Usually he is all loud and confident but when we go out he actually seems really shy. It was a bit awkward because I was nervous too. When I thought I had ruined things we made plans to meet up again for a second time at 5 after I finished work to help him pick a gift for his sister. This was near Christmas last year. When I did finish work, I didn't hear from him if we were still supposed to hang out so I texted him. He got back saying he was actually out with his sister shopping and that he would make it up to me another day. I was in town then and I was angry. 5 minutes later he texted me again saying he could still meet me, so I said 'Ok when will you get in?' He said maybe an hour and a half later but I said I could wait in town/go shopping for a bit anyway. I ended up waiting for 2 hours but he was really apologetic and gave me hugs. After that, he would still text me but we only text for about 20 minutes and that's it. Sometimes he doesn't text me for a week. If I text, he doesn't text back. We didn't meet up again until 4 weeks later near mid January. So the third time we met up, he got me a gift worth $50. I was too shocked I didn't know how to react. Since then I haven't heard from him. Again, it's been a week. I texted him a couple days ago and he didn't text back. If a guy likes a girl, is constant contact the norm? Or is what is happening to me normal? Is this what happens? Am I being paranoid? I feel like he's slipping away from me. Is it because when he texts or calls, I'm always available? Is he comfortable, knowing that I'm still around and that I'm there for him? I dunno... He is supposed to be leaving in a couple of months time to help his family and I really don't know what to do! I like him but he is so flaky and confusing. Someone please help
Mtlgrrl Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 From my experience, if a guy likes you: he will make a point to keep contact ( text/call). If you text and he takes forever to answer (days) or doesn't at all ..... ehhh. Let him text you for now. If he doesn't - you have your answer. :/
