about

My name is Laura and I'm 28 years old. I live in Illinois and work as a licensed veterinary technician. I am a runner, bookworm and obviously, an animal lover.


I've been on this site since '05. I take hiatuses, but I'm never gone for good. I enjoy giving advice and I've made such lovely friends on this site that I couldn't imagine giving it up!

advice

Hello.
There is this boy who I've been talking to for about a month or so.He seemed really interested in me and would text and talk to me ALOT.I mean like we'd be texting for like 12 hours.I went on a trip for about 2 weeks and he texted me every single day and i was excited to see him when I got back.When I got back,we talked and hungout and whatnot.He seemed like he liked me.Until recently when he started hanging out with me and my friends as well he told me that he only wanted to be friends and that it would be awkward if we were any more than friends around "everyone else". I think that he just got so comfortable in my group of friends that he started seeing me like a friend! He stopped talking to me as much and began treating me differently(like a friend).
I want to get back to what we were at! Can I get out of the friend zone?
Thank you!

If he doesn't want to be more than friends, don't pressure him. Don't force him into a relationship or anything that he does not want right now.


The only advice I can give you, is to try talking to him about it (preferably face to face). Let him know that you really like him, and you don't want things to be awkward. Talk to him and then give him some time. Don't ask to hang out every day, and don't text him every second of every day. Back off a little, because sometimes you need to step back in order to go forward.


After that, try flirting a little to see how he reacts. Take it SLOW. Do subtle things, like smile at him, compliment him, and text him good morning texts. The main thing, though, is to take it SLOW and give him TIME.


Do that and you should be fine :)
