Question Posted Saturday November 26 2011, 1:39 am
Guys, I need your honest answer as to why you try so hard to be forward and let a girl know you're interested..only to go completely quit and distant one day??? I don't get it. I know this one guy who made it pretty blunt that he was into me, he was always talking and making the first text message move. And now it's like he just hasn't made any attempt to try and talk. I've texted him a few random times within the past week, and he doesn't reply. What can I do to make him go back to how he was acting? Thanks so much!!

Don't worry, some day you'll meet somebody who likes about you what this fellow perceived as a "flaw".

Most likely reasons are:
1. You aren't the only girl he likes, so he could have lost interest in you.
2. He wants you to do some of the chasing.
3. You didn't make it clear enough you like him back so he moved on.
-You said you txt him a few times in the week, so I added an extra number for you:
4. He can't reply to you with his phone for some reason (lack of credit?!)
Do you actually like him? Or did you just like the attention? If you like him, why don't you just simply ask him why he seems to have lost interest all of a sudden. There's no need to beat around the bush - just say it how it is, so you can know the truth and stick around if you want to or move on.

Maybe he did like you at one time, Maybe he also was just trying to use you as a booty call I really couldn't tell you the exact truth as I don't know the entire situation. Anyway, I'd stop trying to contact him. If a dude is into a women he'd find a way to contact her so if he hasn't responded then don't waste your time. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]

These kinds of guys are just "fishing" for the right girl... its like they are talking to everyone and waiting who they want to talk to then, they use girls to fill up the spaces in their life until they decide to get to know one specific girl more than the other...
DOnt text him ever again, just let him know you DESERVE respect and replies and the way he is treating you is not right, dont reply dont text anymore, try to be busy and move on...
I dont think you can force him to go back to how he was acting though...
(i wish but it just doesnt work that way, you dont want anyone making or telling you what to do either!)
Seriously, Im also in your situation and I cant wait to read others advice for you bec i need it badly as well...
These kind of guys arent worth it and youre better off without them.
