I used to hang out with this boy Chris over the summer. It was really fun and I started to like him. Then after summer, we kind of stopped talking. A few weeks ago, he IMed me and we started talking again and making plans to hang out. Our conversations are so good..theres never an awkward silence. He's really outgoing in real life, too. Like I always see him with girls..but when he sees me all he says is, "Hey!" and even though he says it really nice, he doesnt try to make conversation like we have online..what should ido?

Whenever it comes to hanging out in person it's great cause you can really talk to them, see them, there's no distractions or anything. But whenever it comes to internet, guys just don't seem to want to talk as much as girls do. Most of my guy friends tell me they don't really even go on the computer just to sit there and talk to people like we do ; they're there to play games or check their email or something else.
Try just continuing the conversation with him, and if you notice he's still not talking that much, talk to him about it. Just be like,"Hey, I've just noticed. Whenever we're together, you're extremely outgoing and everything, but on the internet you seem less talkative. Why is that?" And just see what he says.
If talking to him on the internet isn't working, how about talking to him on the phone instead? If you don't already have his number, just tell him you'd really like to talk to him on the phone sometime and ask for his number, and then see how the conversation goes over the phone.

Guys don't think the same way girls do. They like attention from girls when it is just them and the girl, but if there is other people around, they act like they don't even know you. It's just the way they are. The only thing you can do is talk to him. The next time he is online, IM him and ask him about it. Tell him how you feel and ask him if he feels the same. That way you will at least have something to go of off and if it works out then it works out...If not, there is always other men in the world. Good luck [ xx2momma2xx's advice column | Ask xx2momma2xx A Question ]
