Question - (7 February 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 7 February 2011)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

So I met this really sweet funny guy a couple of months ago and at first we never talked to each other but we were facebook friends since we were a part of the same organization at our university and i always thought he was a really nice guy.

I was very surprised when one day during winter break he sent me a chat message on facebook and from then on we started talking to eachother. He gave me his number and we started texting eachother once in a while, getting to know one another. Either he would text me first or i would text him. And he always seemed interested in talking to me.

Once break was over he stopped texting me , two weeks had passesd so i texted him and we talked for a while. I asked if i was bothering him or being annoying and he would say" not at all, you are not annoying:)" But then again two weeks would go by and he wouldnt text me so i poked him on facebook and he would just poke me back. But its weird because we would see eachother at school but he wouldnt say hi and i wouldnt either( i would get too nervous). Then i got so tired of him not texting me and not saying hi to me that i just stopped contact all together. So its been three weeks that we havnt talked but whats so funny is that he sometimes looks at me when we pass eachother at school and doesnt smile just glances at me like he is waiting for me to talk to him or smile and i dont because i want him to come talk to me and plus i get so nervous that i look at him for a few seconds and then look at the ground, its just so awkward between us now.

Before we would talk about everything but now we dont talk at all( i always regret not smiling at him but next time i will). I also want to add that he "likes" some of my pics and statuses on facebook but when were both online he doesnt chat message me. but I still like him alot but dont know what went wrong, why does he act like this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Abella agony aunthe may or may not like you. But at first he liked the novelty of talking to you, but it tapered off. Perhaps he felt he could not sustain the conversation with not enough interesting conversation topics zinging back and forth between the two of you.

Was he perhaps disappointed that you did not have more face to face encounters? If you were about to have a coffee and you saw him heading in the same direction, could you suggest, ''would you like to join me, and have a coffee with me?''

He might be even more shy than you. Thus yes, do smile, and even consider an even consider a sweet ''hi'' when you see him.

Though I am with you, on his need to re-ignite the connection between the two of you by initiating more direct contact between the two of you. You gave him the encouragement and his contribution to the encouragement has fallen silent.

In the mean time try to join in with things, attend things, organise to meet friends and generally get on with your life.

Don't put your life on hold, hoping he will spring up from his seat and start participating more enthusiastically.

You have done your best.

Now it is up to him.

Guys get nervous too. He might be waiting for you to show that you are truly interested in him. You are clearly into this guy so just go talk to him to see what's up.
