Male opinion is welcome. At first my crush acted very interested, made physical contact here and there, stared a lot and suggested that we go out regularly but never made plans. I started ignoring him and acting like he doesn’t exist for revenge because I thought he was just playing me. He was all like ‘you never liked me’, ‘look at what you lost’ when we never even went out in the first place… Recently I wanted to clear things up and asked him out a few times but he said nothing, one time he said he wanted to but he was travelling that time and I believe he really was. He started texting me and always initiated flirty texts first but ran away from me in person. He suggested to go out again (with our friend included) but I said I wanted just the two of us and still nothing. After I called him out he said he likes me via text and he’s sorry for not asking
me out. He gave me a lame excuse why he couldn’t meet and told me to ‘calm down’ and stop being negative since I was a bit annoyed. I said texting is not for me and told him to let me know when he’s free to no response. He texted asking me to approach him first (weirdo) so I did, but he acted like I wasn’t there, he wasn’t trying to converse much either, he was just talking to his friends. He avoids eye contact, only says hi, he’s not flirting in person anymore. He stopped texting first after I said texting is not enough. Is he stringing me along? Why say you’re interested and suggest anything if you never intend to actually do it?
