We confessed that we are in love, and now he's completely shut down. Why won't he talk to me?

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

I am in a situation where my heart feels like it's breaking. I have been talking to a younger guy, which I told myself I wouldn't do, but with him I have broken a lot of rules and have fallen in love with him. I told him that I loved him and he told me once that he loved me. Then he moved from saying it to not believing me. Yesterday I wrote him a love letter and made an 8X10 picture with "believe me when I say, I love you" on it. Now I am waiting to hear from him and he has really shut down. He did tell me he doesn't wanna get hurt, but is that the only reason why he has backed off? Why doesn't he want to talk about it? How do I get him to talk to me about it without seeming too desperate?

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

The guy I fell in love with is 17 years old and I am 19. Yes, he is a senior in high school and I am a sophomore in college. We were not supposed to fall for each other. We both agreed that we weren't going to tell one another the "love" word because we knew it would make our situation more difficult then it already is. I am in love with a great guy, same age as me, but he lacks intimacy. He is so focused on his career that he doesn't really have time for me. So I found it in this younger guy that I work with. Not to mention the younger guy is in love with his ex girlfriend which he claims he doesn't love. But we both had an understanding and one thing lead to another and we fell for one another and so fast. Crazy situation huh??

If he's quite younger than you the age might intimidate him in that he feels he's not experienced enough to be on the same level as you. Maybe try going slow and not jumping to "I love you's" just yet, and by spending time with him he might build up the confidence he needs to fully come around. If he feels pressured into moving faster than he believes he can, he might drift away more and more. Just take it very slowly and maybe he'll mature more at love.
