I know this is a pretty minor thing but I’ve texted my boyfriend to ask if he wouldn’t mind helping me fix my chest of draws which keep falling apart and he said a while ago he would help me.
Anyway he replied saying he wasn’t sure because he doesn’t know what he’s doing tonight and he needs to go visit his friends who live about 3 hours away. I get that he has his own life but I’m annoyed that he replied so bluntly because I haven’t seen him in over a week and I thought that would be a hint to him that I wanted to see him!!
I know I may be selfish but wouldn’t he want to see me too?!?
How can I respond to his text?

Hey is it Friday night where you are ? Its not exactly an exciting option for a Friday night is it lol. How are things otherwise that is what you should be looking at imo. x

It’s Friday lunchtime here. Yeah I get that and I shouldn’t have been so last min I guess.
Was just thinking of putting ‘Oh nice, have a great time. Let me know but no worries if you can’t’. Does that sound ok without being too annoyed?

Things seem fine and to be honest I have t asked him to hang out and I’ve been busy with friends his week so haven’t given him much attention. When we are together everything is normal but I miss seeing him. Just don’t want to seem needy

How long has he been your boyfriend? How often do you see each other.
You shouldn’t have to make up excuses about fixing furniture if what you really want is to spend time with him? It’s not needy to want to see him.. But are you feeling this way because you rarely see him?
And no.. Don’t text him the ‘no worries’ about the furniture again. Just tell him to have a good time.

Well he text me saying he is going tonight and comes back in Sunday so I just said ok, have a great time :) and left it at that.
It’s my friends birthday this wkend so I’m gonna be super busy. I just don’t know if he is really into me or if I’m being blind to his games.
Things I know is that he has told his family about me which I guess is quite a big thing for a guy, especially as we have only been dating 3 months!
I know it’s early stages so I’m tying not to fall in love with him too soon. I can tell a lot of things have been on his mind with work etc and he said he ‘needed’ to go to see his friends and family this weekend which is rare for him to say so I don’t know if anything is up.
I miss him so much and I want to tell him but I don’t want to seem weak and scare him away.
I just miss his presence and I think with us seeing so much until the past few weeks hasn’t helped as we’ve moved quite quick for only going out for 3 months so maybe he just needs some space and I want to give him that. I’m not going to text him now as I want him to enjoy his weekend.
The thing that really confuses me about him is one day he’ll text quite a lot and the next he only texts me once and it’s really random like I’m so tired!! I don’t always reply to those texts.
Also I texted him yesterday saying I wish I was on holiday because I had a bad day and he replied saying ‘I am a holiday!!’ I don’t know what he means by that but I just joke replied to him saying ‘ haha that’s good to know’. I can tell he isn’t a natural texted but why send me random texts that don’t mean anything??!!!??
I really want to open up to him but I don’t know how!
