rainbow12 Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 There’s this boy who is 17 years. It’s too soon to judge him, but I knew him from volunteer work, and I only met him once, and he seemed shy, innocent, and nice. So I found him on Instagram, I always initiated the conversation first, but on his side, it’s like short and sweet answers, and he gives abbreviations like ‘wuu2 wyd’ like immature teenage messages, but that’s understandable since he’s so much younger than me. He told me he would go back to doing volunteer work in the summer, so I hope I might bump into him next year, but I don’t know if he’s worth talking to now and again for the meanwhile. I mean, is he just a boring guy, and I should not chase him? Will it only be internet friendship, and nothing else cause of his boring personality? What should I do? He just doesn’t seem interested in speaking to me as I am with him. Any opinions and answers are appreciated, thanks.
Beendaredonedat Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 If he doesn't seem interested and he's not initiating any contact with you then just forget about him and pursue someone else, someone who does seem interested.
elaine567 Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 It is never a good idea to pursue anyone who is not interested. 1
gaius Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 Well, it's a slightly better idea than pursuing a shy, boring, smelly, fat, unemployed and divorced guy with no teeth who's ex-wife is also his first cousin. Take that for what it's worth. 3
Flame Aura Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 I'm struggling to understand what exactly it is you are looking for from him. You posted this in the Dating section so I will assume you want to be romantically involved (your posts don't suggest the same though). Why you would want to romantically pursue someone you find shy and boring and not interested in you, I have no idea. 1
basil67 Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 I'm confused. Why would you be interested in someone who you describe as 'boring'?
schlumpy Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 How old are you? Cautious if you had been outside a minute ago you would have faintly heard the echoes of my laughter from the Midwest. 2
preraph Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 She can't be that old. Her profile pic is a cat with a witch hat. The texting sounds awful that's for sure. He's underage, right, so no sex. If you're more than a couple of years older you should write this one off since you find him boring already anyway.
ExpatInItaly Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 First of all, how old are you? Secondly, I doubt he's boring or shy. He's just not interested. There is a big difference. He responds because he doesn't want to be rude and ignore you but it seems pretty clear he doesn't have any interest beyond that. Don't flush your dignity down the terlet by continuing to engage with him. He's not into it.

Anyway, I live in the UK so it's going to be different here than USA. Anyway, I appreciate everyone comments so thanks for replying, have a good day all.
d0nnivain Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 It sounds like he's just a teen guy trying to figure all this out. If you are less then 20 go ahead & keep talking to him. He needs the encouragement. However, if you are older then 20, leave him alone; you are too old for him. Finally calling somebody boring is not a good basis for a relationship. If you want Mr. Excitement, he might not be your guy. 1
mortensorchid Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 No, don't bother. Sounds like you're also a teenager and you're new to this thing. I'm almost 45, I've been where you are now. Believe me, life is too short to waste on a time waster. He's not interested, plus you find him boring. What's the point if there is no chemistry even?
smackie9 Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 Girl that’s a guy that is not interested. Hey u gave it a shot now you know nothing is going to happen. I didn’t know too many 17 year old guys that would be interested in an older woman in her twenties. Maybe in a few years when he’s an adult but for now it’s video games and hanging with his buddies is all he’s thinking about. 1
