His dad gave me his number so I could call or text him and the guy I like is pretty shy. So I text him two days ago and just wrote a simple hello and how are you, text message. He still hasn't text back and I don't know why, but, for now, since he barely broke up with his girlfriend, I'm cool with just being friends. Did I do something wrong? please give me some advice.
The guy your after just needs some space. His relationship was probably serious and it takes quite a while to get over someone you once loved. You didn't do anything wrong, are you sure he received your messages? You could check to see if he did by going to your sent messages on your phone and see if they were received or not.
If that's not the case, then wait a couple days before you text him again and just keep it plain and simple conversations like you have been doing. Be aware that he may not be interested or even ready for another relationship anytime soon but the friendship thing should work. Since he just broke out of a 2 year relationship he may not want any social contact so you can't force that upon him. If you really have feelings for him, but you will settle with being his friend for now, I suggest you comfort him in his time of need and try to cheer him up. You know, show him you care. If he won't talk to you then I'm sure you could talk to his dad about it and take it from there. Best of luck to you.
Hey thanks for the advice and I read your profile you do seem like a pretty wise guy that knows about this kind of stuff. so thanks, later! - 11 months ago
