advice
I have been texting this boy since May of 8th grade. It is now April in our Freshman year. It's been an ongoing conversation for almost a year now.. its just about random stuff and its usually a few texts every other day (him not responding right away) and so the point is we NEVER talk in person.. real awkward. i want to be one of his good friends that he can just talk to and walk with in the halls. we have a class together and do track and i see him in the halls all the time.. we are in different friend groups too . i feel like hes losing interest and I'm just a girl at his disposal he can text when he feels like it. how can i be more outgoing and just have the confidence to just talk to him. i don't know what to say in person! the year is almost ending and i want to make a statement before summer comes! i really like him and want to be a good friend of his in person.. yeah its complicated..
It's hard to break habits. Have you thought about texting him about it? Once he knows what you're thinking and feeling, it won't be just you trying to make the effort to talk in person. You won't feel so alone and up against the world. Who knows, maybe he's thinking the same thing as you right now. It would suck if he ignored you or said that he wasn't interested and turned away from you completely, but at least then you'd know. You wouldn't be stringing yourself along wishing for something that's just not going to happen. It's a good sign that he's not showing interest in other girls. Maybe he's just shy, like, why does he have to be the one to break the ice? It's not any easier for him to do it! My advice to you is to tell him some of the things you've said here through text. Lay it all out there and see what happens. You could lose him, but that would happen eventually if he's really not interested in you. Better have it happen now than waste any more time. And who knows, maybe it'll spark something great over the summer.
