Guy friend of mine (crush) has been going through a difficult time with a sick relative. He said he didn’t want to involve me in his problems…?

He said he didn’t feel comfortable talking about his situation and didn’t want to include me in his problems. Two days ago his sister was in the emergency room for cancer problems. I haven’t talked to him since then. I want to reach out to him to see how they’re doing but I’m scared I’ll come off as an intruder and too pushy because he had already told me he didn’t want to include me in his problems. Should I just respect his wishes and leave him alone? Let him reach out to me if he wants?

As it relates to your male crush, does he like to eat? Do you know any of his favorite meals or foods. Guys like food and liquid and if we are jammed up then we are likely not eating or drinking well. We do not want to be nagged about it but if someone showed up with cooked meal then that would be good.

I agree but I’m starting to think he politely pushed me away. 2 days have gone by and we haven’t talked. A few minutes ago he was online but didn’t message me. I would’ve reached out to ask how he’s doing but then again he already pushed me aside in regards to this topic already,

His loss !!

Then just tell him you available when and if he wants someone to talk too. Maybe send flowers.

Yes, just give him time and let him decide when or if he wants to talk to you again. In this situation, it’s better not to try to initiate anything.

Leave him alone
