Q: I am talking to a old bf i used to have 5 years ago. We have been talking for about a month and the sparks are flying high for one another. A couple of days ago he had asked me for a picture, so i gave it to him. Yesterday he had asked me for another one, I said no because I had 0 and he had 1. He of course pleaded and begged me to give him one. So I asked for my friends advice and she said just to give him one. I ended up giving him 3 pictures b/c my friend said they all looked nice. I was waiting for him to give me one of him but he never did. that night he called me just wanting to talk. While we were on the phone he was texting someone, for some reason I have the feeling that he was texting another girl because what guy at night while he is talking to a girl be texting a guy? Am i right?! LOL I pretended like it didn't bother me or i didn't notice. While i was on the phone with him all of the sudden it went silent like i was placed on hold...so i just hung up ...After my night shift ended and i was driving home thinking about what happened last night i feel like the idiot that gave him 4 pictures in total when i don't have any! and the texting thing while i was on the phone also bothers me....I'm so mad and so hurt that i just started to ignore him...well i guessed he noticed because now his text says why are you ignoring me? and idk what to reply!!
Please help...btw I know for a fact he doesn't have a gf
Well, you don't mention how old you two are because that could be a factor. But even without that info, I can give you my thoughts and hope they will help.

I wouldn't think the fact that he asked you for a single photo or even a few is strange at all. He might want them to use as his computer background or cell phone wallpaper or something along those lines. Maybe he even wants to show the photos to his friends rather than just talking about how much he likes you.

On the other hand, I do find it a bit strange that he hasn't been willing to send any to you. That would make me a little leery.

I can tell you from personal experience, there have been times when I was on the phone with a girl and doing other things like emailing or messaging with someone. Sometimes there just aren't enough hours in the day to not have to multi-task. A lot of the times this happened to me was when I was dealing with something for work.

I've also had girls do the same to me.

Personally, I wouldn't be overly suspicious about there being another girl. However, if it bothers you, I'd try to mention it is a subtle way.

You said he's being texting you asking why you have been ignoring him. Maybe you should respond to those texts saying something like - "I left like you might have had something else on your mind during our conversations. What's going on?"

Basically, don't accuse him or anything but make your feelings about his lack of attention toward your conversation be known. See where things go from there.

Good luck.

thank you so much...I am 24 and he is 28
