Question Posted Wednesday June 3 2009, 11:10 pm

ive been dealing with my ex for a few weeks now we're the on and off couple we've dated about 5 times and now we might get back together.. well im not sure anymore. what had happened was i wanted to see how much he cared about me because he always says he loves me and because im still young i believe such strong words that actually mean nothing when boys say it most of the time >.< .. but anyways i said i was moving and he got all sad and upset and made it a big deal which made me happy he cared and hes like i was planing on asking you out but since your moving i guess i cant.. so the next day i told him im kidding im not moving and i guess.. he wasn't really planing on asking me out it was more he just said to make himself seem like the caring whatever because when i told him i was kidding he was like oh .. and stop texting and calling.. i dont think he was really planing on asking me out.. *sighh.. ive been waiting for his call or even a message for a few days now and nothing.. should i wait a bit longer or forget about him because he's all talk?

he probably really did want to ask you out, but it seems like you really upset him/worried him by lying to him! when he found out it was a joke, he probably felt really stupid and embarrassed for saying he was going to ask you out.

if he doesnt call or text in two days, then call him and tell him you're sorry. be really nice and subtle when apologizing. eventually, he may start to miss you and actually accept your apology, if he loves you as much as you think.

just give him time. id be pretty upset if i was him, too. boys may be stupid and immature, but they're still sensitive, especially when their ego is deflated.

i hope it all works out for you! take care

He's probably mad at you. You should never trick people into believing something in order to see what their reaction is. Especially when you're trick is something that makes them emotional/scared/hurt.

He most likely got upset when you said you were moving. He might have really wanted to get back with you and was sad when he found out you were leaving. Then, the next day, you're say "Ha! Sike! I just wanted to see your reaction!" (I'm sure those weren't your exact words, but he probably sees it as that)

Now, he's not texting/calling you because he's mad and upset that you would trick him into believing that just to see what his reaction would be. You can't play with people's minds just to see what they would do if it was actually true.

Instead of asking if you should wait longer, you should be asking of ways to apologize to him and explain why you did that. It's not his fault that he's upset with you. Unfortunately, you're going to have to take the blame for this one.
