There is one thing that should remain important for everyone .. and that is known as SELF RESPECT, running after him and going crazy about him will definitely make you loose your self respect infront of him .. .. Forget about him .. and BE NORMAL .. let him feel that he was "just another friend" of yours .. .. make him feel that you never used to like him or something .. just friendship .. ..
Wah! Finally a guy making sense here at GS. Yahooooooooooo!!!
There's this guy I reallly really reallly like. We were best friends, until I kept arguing with him for dumb reasons, but he always fixed everything, most the time, and I'd fix things when he'd be mad at me. So a year ago he promised me he'll stop smoking - he didn't. I found out got mad, ignored him and his texts. I realized I was wrong. Like I don't own him that I can ask him or get mad at him for these things, right. So I apologized and stuff. While we weren't talking he got closer to a lot more girls, which irks me. They aren't close as me and him were but they are friends. I apologize and everything. He's still giving me the cold shoulder. I made him talk to me, and he said I did nothing, and ya. Whenever I text him he's chill and talks, but it's not the same. He invited me to the movies - I couldn't go. and then he couldn't. So then I invited him to the mall, and well he said no, because I've rejected his offers over 2654465 times; he said he's busy, and I know for a fact he's not (up until Ramadan). I really like him, and i don't want him getting closer to these girls... should I keep texting him? Like IDK what I should do. BTW he quit smoking.
HB, you sound depressed about this guy....to the point that you're not thinking clearly. Why do you want to try so hard to get him back? You've apologized to him...you did your part....now respect his privacy and need for space. Part of being a good friend means respecting your friend's need for space and not smothering them.
Just the idea of trying hard to get this guy to be friends with you.....think about it....does that sound right to you? You shouldn't have to try hard...it should happen with ease. You want people to be friends with you because they actually WANT TO.........not because they pity you and it shouldn't seem like a chore for anyone. Again...you apologized to him.....now have some self-respect and give him space. If he's interesed in you....he knows where to find you. He doesn't define you as a person....your happiness does not depend upon him. I think most of the people who have responded to your thread are older than you....and when they read your posts....they see something that you're missing. They detect a clingy vibe....and that usually is off-putting to people...which is why most have advised to concentrate on other things and let him come find you if he's interested. If not....you'll live....and you may come across better people in the future.
