MsSacha Hi I am currently going through this and I want to learn to wait patiently for this man. He has completely caught me off guard and has me so intrigued. I'm afraid I made the mistake of moving too fast only hurting myself. This man was saying all the right things however his actions showed differently. When I first saw him I was attracted to him however things changed and figured I would never see him again then he was brought back into my life under the same circumstances and I felt a vibe. I tried to resist these vibes because of our daily interaction however one day we clicked on a musical level and I asked him for his number. He said that he was hoping that I asked for his number on a personal level and things were good. We had not gone out however we saw one on a professional level five days out of the week. We have learned a lot about one another we share common interest. The thing is I started to move too fast. He's a Pisces and he has captivated me. I want to be around him all the time. We talk openly but then things started to change and started to become awkward for me, I started walking on eggshells around him, not being myself. Then I began to jumped to conclusions and told him I would keep things professional, he says he never got the text. After spending time feeling hurt I knew I had to regain my confidence when Im around him. That's just what I did! I've talked I got an understanding he understood my reasons and now I feel like I can take things slow but is it too late to start over now?
PritiS So I saw one of your other articles and it was great! :) I have a crush on this guy, and I have to admit it because I confessed to him, and he rejected me. Although I also said it would be great if we became good friends because he seemed like an amazing person and I would like to get to know him and he said it would be great to be friends also. Basically I rushed into by confessing but I hadn't thought I would be able to see him again or have a connection in the future and we progressing into even being friends at the least was not really imaginable at the time. But when school started, things happened and I see him... But we don't hang out or anything, we only say hi to each other. He has my number but he never texts me, it's always me sending a text message and a conversation starts. He's the type who likes to take it slow and I get that, but how do I establish a friendship?! It's so hard.. i'm extremely shy and I can't talk to him. It's hard for me to have a conversation with him and I can't deny that I like him because once again, I confessed to him about a half a year ago, and I'm almost positive he knows that I still like him.
- PritiS @Heather Jensen, I do try talking to to him, but I don't know what to talk to him about. Also how do I go up to him with all his friends watching? When I come up to him, his whole friend group and him notice me and you can sense the awkwardness. Even the people around me can feel it. I think it's because I've done some pretty desperate things in the past involving him and I regret but I hadn't known that makes a woman look desperate because this's my first in texting a guy, crushes or just anything involving guys. His friends and him say hi though to me and it seems as if they would like to know me, but it seems like I can't seem to accept the fact if he and I just come out to be ultimately just friends in the end. He's talked to me in the past before but like I said, I'm so shy barely a sentence would come out now and then. And it would be because I asked him questions about a specific topic he knows much about. He and I don't talk as much anymore because we don't really have something to talk about and I don't go to the places he goes to as much anymore. What do I do? I feel as if I haven't put in my best effort. I don't want to regret in the end not trying as much as I could even if we just become friends(even if I can't accept that idea...).
- Heather Hi Priti! Have you tried to just talk to him? I know it's hard, but trust me, it'll be worth it in the end and I bet a friendship will come out of it.
Cassie This is great advice thanks!:)
A Thankyou for the tips on like all of these articles. I feel like I just need to be more outgoing I guess.. cause I feel confident on the inside but don't really show it around people I don't know too well, especially guys. I sometimes feel like a noone wants to be my friend or attempt to get to know me. (except my already close girl friends) and I wish I knew why.
- Heather Definitely! That's the key -- you've got to be outgoing and confident!
Tori Over the past year I have became best friends with this guy.. Sometimes he acts like he likes me more of a friend and sometimes he doesn't. I don't know if I like him or not.. We now live in different towns but spend every weekend together. He is the best support I have ever had. He is very opinionated about other guys I meet and he doesn't like them before he even meets them.. I don't know if he's being like a brother and protective or being jealous..
- Heather Hi Tori! It sounds like he does like you -- he is just too shy to admit it. I'd talk to him a bit about it and see how he reacts!
SmitySmit This article is basically what Im going through right now. I've never really talked to him before except for once. It's just getting there.
- SmitySmit @Heather Jensen, whelp, I talked to him casually so lets hope I can keep it up ^u^
- Heather Hi Smity! I know, that is the hardest part in the world, but once you get passed getting to know him, it makes it easier!
Anonymous I've been really close friends with this guy for the past 15 years and last year I told him that I've had a crush on him..he basically ignored what I said and didn't talk to me for months. We go to the same church and we both help at a child daycare center. He just started talking to me again about a month ago, and I'm feeling very awkward around him because I still have feelings for him and he's sending mixed signals. Any suggestions? Help would be fantastic!
- Heather Hi Anon! Have you tried to talk to him about your feelings again? Or are you thinking at this point, it might be better to just bury those? What are your conversations like? Does he flirt? :)
