1q3455402828193 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Hi LS!!! I have a dilemma. I like this guy, who is 14 years older than I (I mentioned this in a previous post). Lately, we have been keeping weekly contact via FB Messenger. We have heart-to-heart discussions on what's going on in my life. He's there to listen, and give me advice when needed. He's always looking out. And the more we talk, the more I want him! Right now, we are long distance, but that will change by next summer. And Next month, I will be able to meet up with him as well, so I'm excited about that. It's driving me crazy that he drops subtle hints of liking me. When we are together in person, he likes to stare/gaze into my eyes, make small talk, is always smiling. But on the other hand, he is very sociable and outspoken with everyone else, including my family, but me. Sometimes he will even carry on full conversations with people near me, and then only say "hi"or wont say anything to me. Verbally, he doesnt say much to me...but his body language/gestures says it all. It's interesting though. When we talk online, he can respond in paragraphs and have deeper convos with me. Maybe he is shy? I've told my mom about my interest in him. I wanted her advice because this would be my first SERIOUS relationship of my life. So, I didnt want to latch onto someone who doesn't like me the way I like them. She told me that he asks about me all the time (my little sister told me that as well...she even notices) and she thinks that he likes me as well. Anyways, jumping to this past weekend. I decided to make the direct approach, and explain to him that I like him. I didn't go crazy with my explanation, but I clearly explained that i like him. On FB Messenger, it says that he read the message. But, he never responded. This is a first. Whenever I message him, he ALWAYS responds (even apologizes when he hasn't replied within 24 hours). Why hasn't he responded?
ravfour4 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Obviously, we don't know. Maybe he's overwhelmingly excited and is crafting the perfect response. Maybe he's caught off guard and will never respond. Maybe he has a girlfriend, who knows? Just wait and see, you tossed the tennis ball over the net - now see if he hits it back. 1
Empyrea Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I think it's very brave of you to be upfront like that! Obviously this is not like any of those other times when you've just been chatting, so it's clear WHY he hasn't responded. Just give him time. He's probably not sure what to do with that information. He has to figure out if he can see himself feeling the same way and what are the practical implications of that, and if not, how to let you down gently. Patience!
Ic1 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Maybe he sees his attraction to someone so much younger unacceptable? Not that it is!
