I met this guy 4 months ago. We’ve met a couple of times but he’s said he’s not ready for a girlfriend. That’s fine, I’ve accepted that as I want more so I’ve backed off. however despite me telling him this he seems to text me every few days. We’ll chat and then he’ll stop replying. He knows I like him but it’s getting frustrating.
What should I do?!
TallspicyChannel your inner grown up.
You did the right thing in ending it because you wanted mote. You did the wrong thing by reading into any of this text for attention malarkey.
A. Stop responding
B. Tell him you will no longer be engaging so you can move onEither works. Do nothing, because he is doing nothing
Liz LemonHe’s using you for an ego boost. He texts for attention, you reply, you engage with him until he gets bored and stops replying. Then he wants attention again, and starts the cycle over.
You have to break the cycle. Just stop responding to him. You’ve only met a couple of times and he made it clear he does not want to pursue anything with you. You’re replying to his texts hoping he’ll somehow magically change his mind, but that isn’t going to happen. You’re just wasting your time. Put your energy into engaging with guys who want to date you.
RavenStop responding & move forward…
Hind sight n all….Cuz being a cold b×tch and not friendly at all because he doesn’t want what you do is the way to go.
Hind sight n all….What is wrong with chatting with him while you continue living your own life?
Does the world haveta stop because he does not like you the way you want him to?
kayeI don’t think you understand this. He’s not coming and going. You’ve only met a couple of times, he’s not ready for a girlfriend so to him you were only ever FRIENDS. And friends tend to text every few days to stay in touch and chat. It doesn’t have to be a constant string of texts. At some point someone will stop replying and a few days later they’ll text again.
Just because a guy isn’t interested in a romantic relationship with you doesn’t mean he has to never speak to you again!! I can’t imagine you’re in love with him after just meeting a couple times. So if you want to remain friends then do. But if you never want to speak to him again then tell him to leave you alone.
