A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I've had this crush on this boy for about two months and when I first started to like him I got his number and we'd text a lot and flirt and at one point we even kissed. But he just got out of a major relationship so he doesn't want anything serious. Which I do. But I told him I understood and after that we'd still talk and we were friends. But now he doesn't text me anymore or really even respond to my texts. So I haven't texted him in a few weeks. I still talk to him a little in person when I see him, but I feel like we aren't even friends anymore. Could he maybe think that I don't want to be friends anymore because I don't text him anymore or something? Should I? Thanks!

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

As of now, I just really want to be friends. I understand his situation and even though I do like him, I would much rather be friends than nothing at all. And I'm afraid that he won't end up texting me.

DV1 agony auntHe probably needs space, and kissed you at a time where he was most vulnerable. Right now, it doesn't matter what you want, what matters is what he needs. Leave him be, and if he finds you, then he finds you. Otherwise, you're going to have to let him go...

communication is always difficult and waiting for someone to respond can make you go almost crazy.

so you won't like my advice at first, mostly because it goes against all of your instinct. i apologize up front for that.

i would suggest, that in whatever case, you wait for him to start texting you or contacting you in private. if you are into something serious, you will for sure appreciate that he approached you first. so let him (and you) have that opportunity.

you will feel better about yourself if he makes the first move, and he will feel more confident about himself because his actions made gave results.

if he does not respond in some more time it basically means that he is not into you anymore. be kind to that thought, because that means he respects you and didn't use the opportunity to play with you or tease you. he honestly spared both of you any communication that does not feel good.

believe me, stepping away and making a clean break is the most gentle and most honest way to say to somebody that it does not work.

often that has nothing to do with you, so remember not to blame yourself.

you wrote he had a bad breakup, so give him some credit...

hope this helps, and i hope the best will happen to you.
