Ok so i just started this new semester at a new college. i met this kid and he's wicked nice.. we've been kinda flirting he's been poking me, hitting me with a tray from the cafe. ok heres the deal.. he asked if i wanted to hangout tonight.. to which i said yes. he and i have been texting back and forth.. and well obviously we have not gone to hang out tonight.. i don't know what to do. i'm really hurt. i called him and left a message but he has yet to return my phone. What should I do? When I see him next time how should i react? Should I forget about him? HELP ME ASAP!!

Honestly, you can't really jump to conclusions & get mad at him. Call him & ask him if you guys are still on, if you're not, don't get too mad. It's the first time, so it's not really anything to get pissy about.

Then again, is there any chances you turned him off of you by sending far too many text messages and or calling his house too often because you were excited?
If he has call-screen or pays for text messages to come to his phone this could be a reason why he put the cabash on your plans. Then again you never know if his family required him to be somewhere else.
Unless you know you angered him or pissed him off sending too many messages to his phone or calling his place too much and your number comes up too often there's probably another reason he couldn't hang out.
Odds are he has not answered your phone message because he's out for the evening with his family. The other problem may be that he's extremely shy and doesn't know if he made the right choice in inviting you over.
He might not know how to deal with his feelings and hide them from you or how to deal with this kind of situation with a girl. He might have thought you would say no to him and got cold feet when you did. His mother or father may have also told him he cannot hang out with girls alone or something. You just don't know.
You need to relax until you do. Don't text message him or phone him or e-mail and see what happens in the morning when you see him at school as nobody likes to be nagged or reminded of something too much. You'll blow it that way and lose him.
You could point out Point to him when you see him that you were disappointed you could not hang out the other night and ask him what happened. He'll likely give you an explanation. Wait and see if he wants to make other plans and do not ask him about that. He needs to be the one to make the moves right now.
If he likes you which is evident it will all work out but you must not show that you are overly excited about hanging out with him or want to be his girlfriend as perhaps he just wants to be friends. You have to make him and his family think you have a life (which of course you do) outside of waiting for him to respond.

Maybe he's just a little shy when it comes down to an actual date. Yep, even boys get shy sometimes. Or maybe something just came up, and he couldn't make it. When you see him next time, just ask him what happened. Don't get mad or yell, you don't want to ruin a possible relationship with him. Try not to cling onto him too much either. Sometimes that turns boys off. So simply ask him where he was, and then say "Oh. Well call me sometime if you wanna actually hang out." and walk away. This way, you're not being obvious about it, play a little hard to get, but don't overdo it. Make sure you get to know this guy well enough to find out if he wants to actually date you or if he just wants to be friends, or friends with benefits. That's very important to find out because you don't want to waste your time! :] [ twistedsister17's advice column | Ask twistedsister17 A Question ]
