i was super annoying and now he won't talk to me..
Question Posted Sunday June 19 2011, 5:17 pm
So this guy I've been talking to for the past couple weeks is really different than the rest of the guys I've ever known. I'm kind of "defensive" you can say when it comes to guys because I've had some bad experiences but he says he understands and isn't a douche and that I can trust him and he wasn't going to ditch me. He reminds me a lot of myself. And he had hinted at us being a "thing" quite a bit. I told him some of my darkest secrets and he could relate to them and was understanding. I feel like the last couple days I was being really, really clingy because I always ask like when we are going to hang out again. He's been sick and I was aware I asked it a lot and it sounded clingy but I just thought eff it. It really isn't something I do and not like myself.. I know it was really stupid. But after I asked yet again he started using like one word responses like "naaah" and "noo" and I asked what was the matter? And he said "nothinnnn." So you know he was annoyed. So I stopped texting him. Now he hasn't texted me at all today. And I don't want to text him because I don't want to be annoying.. SO what can I do to fix this? I really don't want to just stop talking to him now.. but what can I do?

Rumely answered Sunday June 19 2011, 11:44 pm: Give the guy a chance to take a breath or two. Guys generally don't communicate the same way girls do. They don't feel the same need for constant emotional communication that girls often do. I can't speak for all guys, especially being of an entirely different generation, but I would find constant texts to be an annoying distraction, especially if it interrupted a conversation or activity I was engaged in at the time. I wouldn't get too worried about going one day without texts from him.
Back off a little. Keep in touch in a fun way a couple times a day. You don't have to stop talking to him, just don't smother him. Relax and enjoy your time with him; again, have fun and don't be overly "emotionally demanding". If the guy enjoys his time with you, he will want to be with you.
