Normally confident but just become defensive around him?!

Hey,

 

So I've been talking to this guy whom I like ALOT. I've known him since last christmas and it seems to be we will talk for a bit, meet and then we will not talk for another couple of months untill either one of us texts and the cycle continues.

Anyway I'm normally a really confident person, can talk to anyone about anything with no problems. Recently me and this guy spoke again and met up. I just froze at anything he said, said the most ridiculous things and feel as though I have pretty much ruined any chance I may have had.

For example I work for a major retail company and he asked for discount and I automatically went defensive and said 'no'. WHY WOULD I SAY NO?

We haven't spoke in a couple of weeks but I'm unsure where to go from here.

 

Ive been dating alot since I broke up with my ex over a year and a half ago and something is telling me to pursue this guy as normally I would have moved on by now. He is the first guy since that I feel I have any real feelings for.

 

Sorry if I have made no sense, just wondering if anybody could shed some light as this dating thing is still a mystery to me ha!

Ha, I can relate to what you are saying.

 

I met a girl while volunteering, seen her around a number of years in a row so decided to get her contact number as she seemed friendly.. Well, she acts all weird around me.. like, she becomes argumentative about things or starts questioning things in a weird way (like, she is purposely trying to show she isn't interested) but at the same time I feel like she IS interested. Thing is she isn't really my "type" and the way she acts definitely does not make her personality shine so I won't be bothering to ask her out. Sure I will run into her from time to time though.

 

I say just try being actually friendly around him and that might give him a hint that you are actually more interested in him!

Ha. I've done the same thing. Froze up and said ridiculous things to a girl I really like where I work part time in retail. And I know if I had remote chance which I doubt in the first place I made myself look worse.

 

Contact him when you have something to do and see if he'd like to go. That's the best you can do.

 

It really svcks as when you like someone you have to almost be like when you don't like someone and have no feelings either way as you never know if they really like you back. If not we get all messed up and seem to think at times we are pushing them away by trying to remain under control and think they are taking things in the wrong way or we are coming off weird to them. I'd guess if they really liked us back they wouldn't care and would realize it.
