I don't know if he's worth the wait or if i should just get over him.
Question Posted Saturday January 12 2013, 10:24 pm
So my brothers friend james he's in 9th grade and I'm in some7th grade. Ever since last summer we've both had crush on each other so we would try and hang out when school started. But every time he wanted to hang out i wasn't able to. Soon enough he thought i was blowing him off. Yet i wasnt and he told my friend that he was sad and mad at me , by the way he never talks to my friends about us because he doesn't want anyone to know he likes me. It been 2 weeks sence we talked. I don't know if he's worth the wait or if i should just get over him. Or if i should text him
He put himself out there, and he thinks you rejected him. It's totally reasonable for him to think that, and not to want to put himself out there and get rejected again. You can tell him that you didn't blow him off (and you should tell him that) but he probably won't believe you, not entirely.
So if you want to show him that you do want to spend time with him, but just genuinely couldn't when he asked, the 100%, super obvious way to do that is to invite him to hang out yourself.
Trauma answered Sunday January 13 2013, 3:55 am: Waiting two weeks does seem a little much. But, he is upset with you because he thought you were blowing him off, and although you really weren't, I can imagine why it might seem that way to him. This could be his way of trying to figure out if you're really interested in him or not. If you are, then text him and explain the situation to him as best as you can.

Xui answered Sunday January 13 2013, 12:33 am: What would prompt you too text him now? If it is two weeks later and you both have not tried to contact one another then what exactly was the reason for waiting so long? If a guy wants to hangout and something constantly comes up then you should try to work around it. You could try to text him and explain to him that he had caught you at a bad time and you had no intentions of blowing him off. See what he says, If he has a bad response then maybe its best you move on. However, One thing I don't understand is that if he liked you so much then why didn't he try getting a hold of you? Sounds awfully quick to jump too conclusions. Maybe he had a crush on you at one time but I would be questioning how much he really was into you. Someone who really likes someone does not just disappear that quickly. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
