stupid reaction


Question Posted Sunday August 26 2007, 12:12 pm

okay so like i really like this guy and he just admitted to me that he likes me. it was over a text, and i wrote back "i dont know what to say" and he was like "neither do i" and i asked him "do you think we can talk somewhere?" and he was like "in a few...i can't get out at the moment" and i wrote back "text me when you can" and he hasn't texted me back. its really stupid bc he doesn't want it to ba awkward between us but he still says he lieks me. this is really starting to annoy me because i really like him, but theres like no chance that he wants to talk to me. its kinda getting me really mad. i dont know what to do, what to say to him, if i should call him, its just making me really mad and i need advice like now.

The only thing I can think of as to why he's being weird about this is you didn't actually say you liked him back so he may feel like a bit of a fool. Either that or someone else got him to say that as a joke (it doesn't sound like this or why would he keep texting?)

Probably he's really nervous and or feels like a fool. He basically spilled his guts to you and when you didn't say you liked him back, he doesn't think you do. Now you asking to see him where he can be reminded of how much he just made a fool of himself (in his mind) and how much you don't like him (also in his mind) - well, he's thinking about how awkward and uncomfortable that situation would be for him and is probably now going to avoid you because he's really embarrassed and needs to be alone so he can stop feeling like such a goof.

So as for what you do. You could a) play "hard to get" and not text him any more, wait till he approaches you again which he probably won't. You could wait out him feeling embarrassed and fool-like and see if he'll see you to talk to you b) tell him you like him back. Over text. Or call him. Very awkward on your part. A delayed reaction which may very well make him incredibly suspicious of you. However, there are things you could do to make it less awkward. Explain yourself. That the reason why you didn't tell him at first that you liked him back was because you feel uncomfortable telling him this over text message (or some sort of excuse that sounds plausible). You could send a text like this "Since you're not free I'd like to tell you that I like you as well. I didn't tell you earlier because I wanted to do it in person, which is why I asked to meet you" in your own words, of course. This is a lot less awkward than "I like you too!" randomly out of the blue but accomplishes the whole admitting that you like him just the same. Whatever you do, however awkward your next words to him are, remember that he just put himself out there to be embarrassed and will most probably appreciate it if you were willing to do the same for him. What are you waiting for! Get on your phone/email thing... and good luck =]

Maybe he's really busy at the moment and has other things to do. It's just for now but ask him if you guys can meet somewhere or talk tomorrow or another time. Don't worry about it too much. He likes you and I'm sure he has a good reason for not talking at the moment. If it still bothers you, call him or text him and see what's going on.
