So there’s this guy – as always. We’ve been on/off for a while, but never really established a relationship, mostly because we’ve been living in different places for about three years (we’ve known each other for five). We don’t always keep in touch, just occasional texting, and we Skyped twice a few months ago, but that’s it.
Anyway, I saw him after Christmas (we both visited our home town), and he seemed interested – was flirting with me, smiling/laughing, poking me and stayed close. However, I asked him if he wanted to hang out the next day, and he never got back to me on it (I texted him, because I had to leave early). Since then, I’ve texted him twice, but he only replied once, which has really been bugging me, because I don’t understand how he could be so warm to me, and then cut me off immediately?
I figured he wasn’t interested anymore and decided to be immature and not tell me, but I found out that he’d quit his job (possibly because of a break down??) and was now driving around selling stuff door-to-door, and apparently he might settle in a city thirty minutes away from mine (I’ve told him how great it is here). I’m attending a pretty prestigious college, wanting to go to med-school, etc – like, I have big dreams and goals, and I’m a pretty ambitious person. He dropped out of community college, bounced around jobs, moved back in with his mom, then moved away again – he just hasn’t found his niche, really, and I was wondering if maybe that might be the reason he stopped talking to me? Do you think he’s embarrassed about his situation? Or I am just so desperate that I can’t face fact that he doesn’t even want to be friends anymore?
Haha, thanks!
