Advice please

feel pretty down right now! man trouble-(lol is that gasps of surprise i hear?)
Anyways heres how the story goes!
About 2 months ago i broke up with my boyfriend of 1 year and a half! he wasnt good for me-always put my opinions down and making me feel bad! Sometimes my fault sometimes good! They only reason i stayed with him for soo long was because i never really felt loved as a kid and i would do anything to hold onto it but eventually i couldnt take anymore.
So once things were over it was great and i felt free and for the first time in ages i knew wot i really wanted!I started seeing my friends as much as i used to an eveything was great. started getting into a habit of getting drunk an sleeping around:frown: dont really no why i do it!! makes me feel good i suppose.

Anyways the guy i m frustrated about isnt just some random shag! we ve known each other for a while as we play sport together! we always got on really well as we like the same music and tv etc and he really makes me laugh! anyways the other night i met him in the pub and we went to another pub just me and him, he payed for drinks, pool etc. He didnt drink anything! he then invited me back to his and we watched a dvd! it was really nice. Then things started getting a bit heavy and we were almost having sex but before we did it he asked me if i was sure to which i reply "no" i decided that i liked him to much just to use him for sex. he was great about it an we just spent all night chatting! we got on really well! in the morning he was still total sweet and i stayed til about 3! he gave me his number and said to txt anytime and he said we should meet up on sunday! so then on sat i really embaressingly drunkenly txt him but he was kewl about it. On sunday i was busy but i txt him much later on saying " do u wanna do something monday was gonna txt u 2night but i didnt have the courage" he says " busy on monday during the day but i might be free at night" i say "look i really like u, if ur not interested i wont take offense" --he says " i am! we ll meet up on monday if i m not busy" i say " kk kewl just let me know as soon as u do so i can make plans" Him --"okies wil do night night" alll monday nooooothing no txt! i was pretty sure he wasnt really interest but i gave it a shot! anyways i txt him saying" cheers for txting think i got u wrong" he says " sorry i was busy all day" I say " yeah i figured but u said u txt and i think ur pretty rude for not" and then nooo reply! now i feel really down and i dont even know why! i think its frustration about lack of boyfriend and how badly i ve handled this situation with this one!! wot do u all think!! I know i sound really desperate btw and i m deeply ashamed of myself bt at least use will never know who i am!! thanx alot guys!

Don't text him again! If he's worth your time then he'll be a man and text you. If you chase him to no real response you'll only feel more desperate and depressed. It's great that you were having a good time being single..but did sleeping around make you happy? Maybe you were just searching for male validation, trust me the best place to find respect is from your freinds! Have a chilled night in with your best girl friends and you'll feel so much better.

just give him some space and time. perhaps he's somewhat confused about his feelings. but good luck with him :wink:

Just because he was busy it doesn't mean he wasn't interested in meeting up with you. Don't put too much pressure on the situation - if he's worth it and interested, he will text you again. Good luck :smile:

Go to sport tomorrow and speak to him in person, going by those texts it doesn't sound as if he doesn't like you.

Yep go to sport tomorrow because if you can't see him as your too uncomfortable then you ruin the chance for a potential friendship if the relationship aspect doesn't work. The fact that you can talk for hours sounds like you do really get along so go to sport and see if he approaches you, if not act casual so that you can gradually get to the point where you can talk and be freinds again, maybe more.

the worst thing about seeing him at sport is two of his best mates go an 3 of my close mates go! an they all nooo about the situation! i would soooo dont want him to make me look like a fool! cos i can handle the rejection but just not infront of a lot of people i get on with! lool we cant exactly act like nothing happened when all out mates know!

Sometimes its better to ring than text, that way you get all your answers in one call. No matter what he does in that call, you would know where u stand :s-smilie:

I think you were very rude to him. Lol. Go have a chat with him. You know you want him, plus you cant avoid him forever. This isnt Yr 7. Lol.

Maybe you're like me and kinda sleep around because it makes you feel wanted and like validated as a person. Insecurity things.

And definately remember the twin rule : Never text always call - because you cant ignore a phone call.

And make him do the work. I think he's probably interested you're just coming across a little to strong. Go to sport and kinda only talk to him if he talks to you.

Just remember he'd be lucky to have you :smile:
