Should I text my guy friend?

Tagged as: Friends<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (10 August 2012) 3 Answers - (Newest, 12 August 2012)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

He's a friend I made at college and he's awesome. I liked him, he wasn't interested that way, it was a little awkward but we're cool now. I do not want him to know that I'm still into him. We've talked just a few times over the summer (he mostly initiated the conversations).

He hasn't been online at all for several days and I'm a little concerned because that's not really like him. I know it's most likely that something has happened to his internet connection (he's been piggybacking on a neighbor's unsecured wifi) or his computer isn't working or something, but still. I have anxiety issues and worry about people unnecessarily a lot, so I am trying not to overreact here, but I want to text him to be sure everything's all right. School starts in 2 weeks and all summer long I've restrained myself from randomly texting him. Should I send him a hey-what's-up text (not a creepy why-haven't-you-been-online text!), or hold out knowing that everything is probably fine and I'm a worry wart?

He’s probably just enjoying his summer and been too busy to go on-line, you certainly shouldn’t get yourself stressed over this. Just send him something along the lines of: “Hey, how’s things?” Then maybe a bit about what you’ve been up to, concluding with something like “chat soon.” That’s not creepy, or over the top at all, it’s just a nice text to send and then he’ll get back to you whenever he can.

I wish you all the very best.
