Should I text him?

So, I met this guy, and I really like him. Apparently we've known each other since we were kids (which I don't remember.) and I've seen him lately, but I've never actually talked to him until 2 weeks ago. So, he and I really seemed to have hit it off. We exchanged numbers and I, of course, crushed hard. 

I've had a crush on him for a long time, but never talked to him. And it's funny 'cause 3 months ago I would tell my friends, "Oh! If only I were brave enough to talk to him! I feel like he and I would be perfect for each other!" and now that I'm talking to him I dunno what to do or say!

Back on topic though... So when I gave him my number he texted me everyday and would only stop if he had to sleep, even then he'd say goodnight. But when he and I hung out I felt so embarrassed and like he didn't really want me there... But that may just be me. But he was really sweet! He even told me that he wanted to kiss me, but before he could, he had to go home ASAP. So, there's something there. I know it. But I've been paranoid about him being a player and blah blah blah.

So, he hasn't texted me. He only texted me twice since we last hung out, and I texted once, he didn't even carry on our conversation. Didn't even say goodnight. Just ended it. And he's always busy, so I thought that could be a reason. 

But, should I text him? Or wait for him to text me? Like, I don't know if he's waiting to see if I care enough to text, because I think I've already proven that especially since HE'S the one who didn't say goodbye.

I was thinking that I should wait for him.

aunt honesty agony auntOk you have tried now and he doesn't seem to be that bothered about meeting up with you am afraid. Don't contact him again, give him the chance to contact you now, and if he doesn't well am afraid you need to accept that he isn't interested and move on!

KaileyLove agony auntUPDATE AGAIN!

So, turns out our plans for hanging out aren't gonna happen. So, I asked if he wanted to hang out the next weekend and he didn't really seem to answer my question.

I tried flirting A LOT more. But I feel like he didn't really get it. So my last message I just asked if he would come visit me the weekend after the next. He didn't respond to that message.

I'm so confused!!

He would text me nonstop last week! Now he BARELY talks to me!

I don't wanna be clingy, but I really just wanna talk to him. But I'm afraid if I to him too much he'll get bored!

KaileyLove agony auntUPDATE!

Well, I texted him. We made plans to hang out next weekend.

But it wasn't a particularly long conversation. He would respond an hour away from each text I sent. But I do know that he was busy, and he even admitted once that he wouldn't respond as fast when he's busy.

But I sent him a text in a response, and he never replied. But when I thought about it, he only replies quickly if I have a question, or if I'm flirting. But, he didn't say goodbye or anything again, which I think is a lack of manners.

Anyway. He and I will be hanging out soon. Maybe I just need to flirt a lot more.

aunt honesty agony auntI think you should go ahead and text him, show him you are interested and leave it up to him. It might be a case he is unsure how you feel about him therefore he has decided to give up. You have had a crush on him for a long time so it would be a shame to give up now when you have become so close so give him a text and see how he responds.

I can tell you that he's losing interest in you. I was in the same situation like you but I hadn't fallen into her at first. She made my heart pound by the way she texting me, talking to me and sharing with me. We hung out couple of times. My heart just melted. But then she seemed not to care when things turned in the reverse direction. Does he still tell you what he is doing and summarizing what he has been through all the day? Because it's likely most of people in this would do this way when they still like someone. Text him if you want because I know how hard it is when waiting for someone, then according to his text, you'll know what you should do.
