I told him...now what do I do?!?


Question Posted Tuesday October 17 2006, 5:10 pm

Ok...I've previously posted advice on how to tell my best friend that I was in love with him...and well...2 weeks ago...I took people's advice and I told him...great right...not really...he hasn't talked to me since...(here's some info that might help a bit: when I told him he said he just wanted to be friends...which I was totally happy about, in the sense that he didnt feel the same way but he still wanted to be friends...)what does this mean...that he won't talk to me?

[ Answer this question ]

Additional info, added Tuesday October 17 2006, 9:52 pm:

Even though he wants to be friends, it's just become awkward for him, I'm sure. And he probably doesn't know what to say to you or what to do, so it's normal that he's going to be a little hesitant to just, jump right into conversation and everything, so just give him some time to see. He also just might be worried he'll say something or do something to make you like him even more which he might not want happening cause he might be worried he'll hurt you more. That's what happens with me and when guys tell me they like me. I watch what I say or do that might lead them on and think of something more, which does create akwardness cause I'm not fully being myself.

It'll take awhile for things to go back to normal, yes, but if you just keep working at it and making sure it doesn't get awkward and make things like they were before, he'll realize it can be normal again, and pretty soon he'll start talking more and everything and it'll all be fine.

Just every few days or so, send an email his way or say hi in the halls and just catch up with him about what's been up with him lately and what's he been doing and everything, and then sooner or later after awhile, just mentioning a movie or a possible hangout sometime soon with him, and see where it goes from there.

I hope I helped.

You made it awkward now. It will take a while to get back to "normal"
but show him, that you think it's okay that you're friends.

He's probably not talking to you.. because it's all weird. And he doesn't want to lead you on or anything.. It's really awkward though, so I think he needs some time to think over it.

But try to keep contact with him.

Call him, IM him, try to make plans (but with other friends too so he doesn't think you're trying to do a date thing)

Try to make yourself look like you're uninterested in him and that you're interested in someone else ?
Maybe that would make it a bit better.
