First off, i have been dating and trying to keep busy.

Was with my ex for 3 and a half years..it was petty stuff i think that broke us apart.. fighting over things i regret.. no one cheated.. we did have alot of love.. he broke it off... a year later i leave him a vmail and he calls me back right away and i tell him all these regrets after a few minutes.. basically he said he couldnt just jump back into this which was understandable and that he needs to straighten other things out and also just get his head together for this.

We have been talking for months having long convos etc. I am in my mid 20's and only just got my permit a few days ago due to my dad's insurance being raised etc and money. So i told him i was going to get it and i actually got it friday rather than this week. He called last night to wish me luck not knowing i already took it... It turns out a friend had stopped over to see me and my family and i had two glasses of wine but felt tipsy from it because i don't drink much. I said good news, i have it already..took the test friday and said it was very easy. He joked calling me a nerd etc etc I Also said i wanted to call him but didn't know if he was busy(especially with it being friday when i got it etc) and he said i could have called which was nice. I joked with him which i did before that he should be teaching me to drive and helping me pick out a car. He said my father can do that and he said how my father would probably be insulted if he wasn't doing that with me.

I felt a little sad with him not even saying we'll see as kind of the possibility of one day soon he could teach me b.c i basically won't be allowed to drive my father's car anyway so its not about him teaching me. Also felt like maybe with the wine I sounded bad or stupid on the phone or something? I just think i would have said some things differently or not mention some stuff at all. Nothing too bad was said i dont think. We spoke for about 30 minutes and he said he was gonna go.

I texted him about 10 minutes later saying i had wine tonight with a frown face :( almost to show i wasn't feeling well and if i sounded different then he knows why. He didn't respond back. Should i call tonight to talk for 10 minutes or so or nothing so bad was done on my part and call in a few days?

fishdish agony aunti think you're reading too much into things. I think he didn't need the 'i'm tipsy' explanation, he probably didn't htink you were being that out of the ordinary so probably doesn't know what to say back to the i'm tipsy thing, and then the sad thing would confuse me too, like i'm sad i'm buzzed, i wouldn't know how to respond either! As for the car thing, don't take it personally, he may just need more time before he feels comfortablet taking such an active part in your life like that, so i would just continue to give him a little space, a little contact, and see what happens.
