Question Posted Friday March 25 2005, 9:02 pm

I have been talking to this boy bryan for about 4 weeks (i think) but we've never met. we only talk on the phone and online (although we're planning on meeting sometime soon). i was introduced to him by my friend who i really trust so I know he's not a bad person or anything. I really like him for who he is even though i've never really met him. we talk almost everyday but....ok here's the problem. i'll be talking on da phone with him and he won't really talk. at first this is wut used to happen but then he started talking alot and i was happy cuz i'm an outgoing person and sometimes shy people just......annoy me. but now he's being shy again. at first i thought it was because he was busy or something but then i'd ask him what he was doing and he'd say nothing so then i'd know he wasn't busy. then, he'll always talk to other people while i'm on the phone, which i'm fine with normally, but he does it excessively.so then i tried really hard to start a conversation but he doesn't help. he gives me 1 word answers. one time when i was on the phone with him, the longest answer he gave me was "well i used to read mysteries" .....seriously!i wanna tell him how i feel but i don't want to be rude. sometimes i just get so annoyed with the silences and trying so hard to converse that i say i have to go. wut can i do? i like everything about him so far except for this.HELP!

Hmmm, I know someone who is like that.She doesn't shut up but she does constantly talk to others while on the phone. REALLY irritating especially if it's long distance!
You know I wonder if maybe since he did talk to you pretty well for awhile, maybe there is someone in the room who he really doesn't want to overhear his conversation. You know, maybe a parent or brother.That might make him a little bashful about talking.Might be afraid of being teased.
I don't think it would be rude for you to ask him whats up.Try asking him if he's able to talk right now when he gets quiet.
If that isn't it then just ask him why it is that he doesn't want to talk to you.If you say it in a kidding way I don't think he would be offended. Try those out and see if they work. If not, I'll do some thinking and see what else I can come up with. Good luck!:}
