Hi Eliana,

I think you’re right. In many ways it would be a lot easier for me if I could say ‘maybe i’m looking into things too much!’ but I’ve had mutual friends ask me whats going on between us, without me saying a word. So I can’t say it is based on my own assumptions. I actually  denied that he liked me, but it got the stage where it was just obvious. We’re both still young. If he spoke about girls to me, I’d get the picture. But he doesn’t. His behaviour is just totally unsubtle. Taking a photo of the back of my head because i spoke to another guy, asking people who i was talking to. Why would he care? Why did he go bright red when someone said i thought he was good looking? Seriously. Now he is aware that I was intune to his behaviour and maybe he’s embarrassed. I don’t know.

He made excuses. I think you are right. Why should I be pining over someone who seems to think I will always be in the background waiting for him. It’s as though he just expected I would be okay for him to act like this. His girlfriend most certainly doesn’t like me. despite me never saying a word to her.

The mature thing for him to do would be to reply to my text and say ‘Ok!’ if he really did see me as a friend. Because we tell each other personal things. He’s playing games again. I also am proud that i actually was the one to be courageous and to address what has been going on between us.

My question for you is – how do i react to him when I see him next week? I would rather not see him, but I have to for college.

I feel like ignoring him.

Thank you for your response. I hope I can meet someone at the right time.
