nottherealone Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 We're 17, same school, been friends for a few months, and we both liked each other during that time. On the valentines day weekend, he asked me out and we had a brilliant time. We talked about everything possible and he bought me dinner and at the end of the night he gave me one of his childhood teddies to keep. He was really sweet, a gentleman, and he told me how much he cared, and wanted to know me every second we're together. However, a few weeks after this we started drifting apart, talking/texting less and now we are total strangers in school. We're both really busy with exams, and I know that may be a huge reason why we don't hang out anymore, but we've just stopped communicating and I'm feeling more and more depressed about it. I can't really talk to him, he hides his feelings a lot and he can be really distant, and I don't think it would be a good idea to pester him about this. He still looks at me a lot, but he now just doesn't start conversations. The last time we talked was a week ago, accidentally bumped into each other in the corridors and it was a bit awkward. What is going on??
Gaeta Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 What is going on?? Ask him. God knows what it could be, maybe he misinterpreted something you said, maybe someone said something to him about you, maybe....could be 100 different things. Ask him. 1
smackie9 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Ummmm it's a month later and you haven't done a thing about it??? He probably thinks you lost interest because you haven't been initiating, ever thought of that? It's not the guys job to keep pursuing you...it's a two way street. I think you let this go on for too long to recover it.

I have tried to initiate conversation, he'd be polite enough to carry it on but when I'm with him and our friends, he deliberately tries to ignore me. But if we're in the same room he'd look at me a lot and it seems like he still cares, he just doesn't say anything... :/

Tell him: I thought we had a real good thing going back then, what happened it did not continue?

You had every right to ask, if he pulled away from you without an explanation. Here's a tip: just because someone shows strong interest in the beginning doesn't always mean their interest will hold. When I was a teenager I lost interest after about 2 weeks most of the time, but I did it proper and just told them I didn't want to see them again. I feel he didn't have the balls to tell you, and he is a coward. He probably keeps looking at you to see if any sign of you being mad at him.
