Hopelessromantic04 Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 There is this guy that I know. I like him, I'm really shy so I don't overtly make moves. I haven't seen him in a while because we work an hour and a half away. I've always had a crush on him and I remember one of his friends saying that he liked me. We don't really talk unless it's via snap and that's only if I send him or he sends me something relevant. I sent him a private snap the other day asking him a question about something. He responded with the answer and that was the end of the convo. Then he sends me a private snap a few hours later or him making a funny face or doing something funny. Then I respond, but HE NEVER RESPONDS BACK. You would think that he would use that as a way to engage in conversation if he is equally shy or whatever, but he doesn't. So I never know if he accidentally sent me the private snap since I'm likely at the top of his list if we just sent a private snap a few hours prior or he is intentionally snapping me. If he is intentionally snapping me, why doesn't he respond? I don't want to not respond because I like him. But then I feel stupid after I replied back to his private snap then I see that he opens it but doesn't respond.
Telemachus Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Please put this in perspective. Snap is an ephemeral throw-away medium. There is no way you should be so invested in an item sent or whether you got a reply. It's an app that's intended and used for amusement - don't make more of it than that, or you'll destroy any amusement value that it may have, for you and for him. You didn't ask him to donate a kidney or adopt a baby with you. If you ever do have a weighty matter about which you're seeking the full attention of another person, don't use Snap. It seems a bad idea to me to invest any amount of your personal happiness at all in casual contact on a hand-held device with someone who's merely an acquaintance - your situation here.
smackie9 Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 This could be a Mexican stand off. You are horribly shy and won't make a move to show you have a romantic interest, and he is very unsure if you have any interest so he won't make a move either.
