I dont understand myself. One minute I want him to talk to me and the next minute I don't? What is wrong with me?
Question Posted Thursday October 27 2011, 10:46 pm
There is this guy who I like and I think he likes me back. Recently we've been talking and it's been great. The problem is that when he dosnt text me I freak out but when he does text me I don't want to talk to him. I got I text from him and thought to myself"ugh he's a little pushy I hope he's not like this all the time" but then I realized just a few hours ago I had been glued to my phone waiting for a call or text. I'm so confused. I want to talk to him but then I don't.

It's normal. Maybe you really like him but you're just protecting yourself. My boyfriend is not into the phone whatsoever he tries. He's not a big texter either. SOmetimes I find myself glued to the phone waiting for his next text or phone call. Other times he'll call or text and I could careless. Sometimes in relationships its about the chase. You want to see how far the person will go for you. In my situation the chase has stopped and we are both comfortable in the relationship with one another. In the beginning the chase starts. At first he's chasing you and then you're chasing him.
You should google the 'settler and the reacher' theory it's very interesting. Hope everything works out and good luck! [ AdviceMistress's advice column | Ask AdviceMistress A Question ]

It's ok to freak out, your letting your guard down and you can be afraid, you may feel like its going to end and he is going to just never talk to you again. But he has no reason to ignore you - therefore if he isn't answering he is probaly going to be busy. Why would he ignore you? You guys are fine.
The reason you may think he is being pushy is that you are looking for a reason to push YOUR feelings away, a reason not to like him. If he does seem pushy, maybe because he likes you too? Isn't that a positive!? (yay)
Stop trying not to feel what you do feel. You like him, it's a great thing, but yes it can be scary too. Keeping talking, and develop the friendship. Find out a little more about him etc to confirm your feelings, I wouldn't say you need to anymore. If two people like each other it will come together, especially if he is interested in talking to you back and it's going great. Your fine just chill, and tell yourself you've got nothing to worry about. [ mariahwannabe's advice column | Ask mariahwannabe A Question ]
