is he being short with me?


Question Posted Saturday September 19 2009, 2:08 am

19 female. i like and HAVE liked this guy joe who is 18, for awhile now. we're pretty good friends too, so you wouldnt think it would be hard for me to ask him to hang out right? WRONG.

i'm always so nervous of getting rejected, who isnt? so i never ask him to hangout, i rarely text him first, it's how i am. lately i've been getting better. my friend gave me 4 free tickets to a major league baseball game sunday, so of course i think about asking joe to come. this was our conversation:

me: hey my friend is giving me four tickets for the baseball game friday. i'm going to find two other people to come, but do you want to come?
him: i have a football game.
me: on a sunday? werid. just thought id ask.
him: you said friday!
me: oh sorry i meant sunday.
him: what time?
me: 1:10
him: i have a hockey game.

...REJECTED:( i mean i know he's not lying, i know he does play hockey and football, he wouldnt lie to me but i just feel dumb. and i have these handcuffs and he stole the keys from me so then i was like:

me: will you like leave my keys at your neighbors tomorrow since me and my friend will be over there (i didnt want it to be a hassle and bug him so i said that..)
him: just come get them
me: will you be home?
him: sometime yea
me: ok i'll just text you and see if your home
him: alright

is it me or does he always seem short with me? or is that how boys just are? and now i have to see him tomorrow, i will be embarassed because i asked him to go to the game and he couldnt. maybe its just me overanalyzing but i dont know. what do you guys think?

you're right - he's definitely being short with you. but a lot of guys are like that, especially through texts. you can't base whether he likes you or not off the way he's texting. but don't be embarassed that he couldn't go with you! it was nice of you to ask and nothing is wrong with that. i guess just try to hang out with him more and see how he is in person. if he's still short with you when you're hanging out then either it's just the way he is or he's not worth it. good luck girl!

guys are like that. hard to understand. it is easier to be straight forward with them instead of hinting around. with my husband when we were dating i used to be that way. i learned to just tell him if i want to spend alone time with him. i tell him hey i want to spend alone time with this day this time. and he agrees lol. just tell him you want to hang out with him or ask him if you could attend his games? or tell him you have liked him for a while. with the keys you could do like hints hed understand like.. can i get my keys back to the handcuffs or ill have to come use them on you something like that.

no no no no nooo. boys are just like that, well most boys. I know my boyfriend is. It's like he uses the least amount of words as possible hahaa. You're just overanalyzing it. If he was flat out rejecting you because he DIDNT want to see you he wouldnt have asked you like the time and stuff. trust me, I know what I'm talking about haha. and since he said "just come get them" about the key thing, it means he wants to see you, rather than just drop them off at his neighbors house. which is good :] it's his subtle way of saying he'd like to see you.
this whole thing wasnt rejection at alll. it was just kinda like ... bad timing.
hope i helped ! if you need anything else, feel free to inbox me. have fun ! and dont sweat it so much :] good luck, xxo.

In this situation you are over analyzing it, he wasn't rejecting you otherwise he wouldn't have tried to correct you. Honestly guys aren't the best talkers and most of the time they don't know what to say. Also he told you to come over to his house instead of dropping them off at the neighbors, if he was purposely blowing you off than he would have just agreed to drop them off instead of asking you to come over. Tomorrow is the perfect time to try to get him to agree to another time to hang out with you. Just say since you can't make it on Sunday do you want to hang out some other time, and ask him when he is free so you don't have to worry about him having a game.

aww you sound soo sweet!firstly you didnt get rejected. im sure if he didnt have a game hed be sooo happy to come. you need to know this...girls=overanalyse boys=dont really think much about things. hes not being short with you its how he txts. he must want to see you if he told you to come get the keys from him in person. guys arent really the txting type usually theyd much rather speak on the phone or meet up inperson. dont stress about it. he didnt reject you so stop think about it lol just go there and see him for abit like get your keys and talk to him about things.its obvious he wants to chat with you just relax
