Hi Connie,

i appreciate anyone who can say something like “though we are both scared I’m willing to try it out/move forward.” Etc thats a whole love language in my book. So good for you.

i messaged that to someone I was interested in and who was pursuing me on Instagram and they never responded so I was hurt by that . Lol

Like why do people pursue people then shut down or not communicate. I find it very disrespectful & immature. Like you’re messing with real people with real hearts and feelings , the least you could do is communicate in turn.

Besides my biases. He may just need some time or whatever. All you can do is be patient . Or set some type of boundaries around time.

People with effective communication skills would say and sound like this. “Hi, I understand you would like to talk about this now, but I need some time to do (x). Can we talk about this on (date).”

So moving forward I would open up communication around communication and time boundaries.
