So I've been seeing this guy for a few months, but nothing official. We've grown close. We slept together several times. (The first time was actually a week after I met him. It was my first time and I know this sounds really bad.) I did tell him that I care about him a lot and that I really like him. However, he never said anything about what he felt for me. When he didn't say anything back, I did tell him that its okay I get that he doesn't feel the same way about me. He still said nothing. Not an I like you. Not even a I don't like you like that. He has however always been affectionate and caring towards me. He acts like he does care.
Anyway, recently I got frustrated with his lack of verbalizing his feelings. He realized I was upset and asked what was wrong. I said that I was upset with my self for having sex with some guy after knowing him for a week. We didn't talk for a week after that. I did try texting him during that week but got no response. Then last night I emailed him and apologized and poured my heart out. I'm not really sure he read it though. He texted me and said that I made him feel worthless. I guess that what I said about him being "some guy" really hurt him. So I guess that he really did care about me. Now he doesn't want to give me another chance. He won't even really hear me out. We did text back and forth a few times until he went to bed.
Since he said that I made him feel worthless, I almost feel like he doesn't believe that I truly like him now. So I made a list of reasons why I like him.it is pretty lengthy.its pushing 100. Would that be something that he would appreciate reading or would he think its weird? I feel terrible for hurting him. I just don't know how to fix it. Any advice? I really don't want to lose him.
Update: Thanks everyone for the advice. I ended up emailing him the list along with an apology. I also made sure to clarify my feelings for him. Now I'm just going to wait and see what happens. Hopefully, he will forgive me.

I'm glad you sent the letter. If I received an email from a girl that hurt me, I would definitely open it. Even if all bets were off regarding any reconciliation, I'd want to know what she had to say. I'm a "Why" guy; I need to know why things happened, not necessarily to fix them but to be more prepared for the future.
That being said, he may like your apology and respond positively. Let me ask you something: I know you said you explained yourself to him, but how much. Most (definitely not all) guys love explanation: A happened because of B, so if we do C we can have D instead of A again. Just a thought.
Well, this one is thought. I see that well you were frustrated and well that made you say what you said which in my opinion you have the right to be because he was leaving out an important part of a relationship which I know cause I'm passing true something almost identical only its the girl who lacks the showing of affection and know I'm not talking to her because she refuses to approach me to talk about the problem. But anyway. I think you shouldnt give him the list. Try to make him meet you somewhere and make it a place where you can focus on yourselves. Then tell him that you had failed to understand that the way he shared his affection mas more physical than verbal and that you werent thinking when you said he was some guy, because you wouldn't have given him yourself and if he was just some regular Joe that you would have share such a special moment with him. Apologies, then let him think it out. Never take your eyes of of his even if he looks away. Now if he is a sensible guy he might fight a little but then accept your apology, but if he won't then he is just giving it way to much bull. So its up to you, your goal now is to show him that he is a bigger part of your life, and sometimes love acts foolishly because it cares.
Yes! Send it! But then back off. It seems like he's the kind of guy who has so much emotion that he's afraid to let it show (or so much emotion that he doesn't know how to let it show). A list like the one you are writing may let him know that you are safe and that he can be a little vulnerable with you. The thing is, I think you should let it go after you send the list. The best way to chase a guy away, sometimes, is to chase him. Tell him how you feel in a way that is as lengthy as it needs to be and WAIT. At times it may be excruciating, but no pain, no gain. Good luck.
Let me ask you something out of curiosity, since you are a guy. If a girl that hurt you sent you an email, would you actually open it and read it or would you delete it and forget about her? Be honest. - 2 months ago
I'm kinda in a similar situation. First of all, you shouldn't have slept with him within a week. He may now probably think your easy, even though guys tend to want sex quickly it's kind of a test what they do to see what the girl is like. Whether she's easy or a hard nail to crack.
Guys can be quite tricky and you never know what they're actual intentions are. He hasn't made any attempts to give you the assurance that he likes you too, maybe he's shy or maybe he just wants to be friends with benefits. Although he shows affections (I got to give him props for that cause most guys don't) which leads me back to saying he's just probably shy.
What I can tell you that is give yourself a little break from him maybe a week or two. Get your head clear and see what your true feeling are and make sure it's not lust or an infatuation. Before you do that though tell the guy to do the same and after you think your break is over, you guys should talk about your feelings towards each other.
The list that you did is very good. I suggest that you ask him to do the same so you can have something to talk about. In the case that he is shy talking about his feelings make the situation as comfortable as possible.
If things work out in the end, whatever you do try not to have sex with him for about a month, talk about your relationship and where you want it to go. If it doesn't work out, it just wasn't meant to be.
Girls why can't some of you apologize to a guy if you know you did something wrong or accept the truth if we find out something that's true? Well me...

What is your favorite outfit for a night out with friends?
Chip and Pepper jeans with a tight, white, low-cut shirt and black, high-heeled boots. I wear a silver necklace with a circle made of diamonds at the end and my diamond earrings.
How do you style your hair and do your make-up?
It takes like an hour to do my hair and makeup! First I blow dry my hair. Then I use foundation on my face. Then I straighten my hair with a straightener (ceramic so it doesn't hurt my hair). Next comes blush, eye liner, eye shadow, mascara. Then I curl the pieces of my hair to frame my face. Last comes lipstick and perfume!
