When a guy responds to texts even if he's busy.

[Anonymous]

I like him and am attempting flirting through messages, but we talk regardless with texting. What I am wondering is does a guy just try to be nice if he responds to messages when busy at work, or does he maybe not mind being seen doing it? He's a cop, so I don't mean working with a customer or something right then. I noticed his responses were kind of short but he never failed to answer. I asked if my timing was not so good, and it wasn't. He responded to about 3 or 4 messages while it wasn't so good. He was in a situation where multiple cops may have seen him getting texts and responding.

well I think that's what awesome about the begining of a crush or like or those stuff everyone give full attention and care and very excited and both feel amazing then it goes by time :D either by he being with or by he gets what he wants and leave (Ugly truth gotta love it :D)

[Asker]

He knows I like but he is not really looking because he is dealing with some hurt from an ex girlfriend a few months back. We've been texting nearly daily for about 2 months though. Just haven't ever done it during something like that with work stuff. The closest was during a class he wasn't enjoying. And I am shy. I have thought about the wild stuff, but get nervous around him and can hardly talk anyways. Wouldn't have the nerve do more than suggestive comments on messages every now and then.

well as I said I think he likes you but take care don't fall easily :D good luck

[Asker]

I don't fall easily. I got hurt bad before and have my guards up. He knows it.

[Glory90]

yea I know you seem wise and mature but love blind us :D

[Asker]

Yeah, cute guys know how to twist shy girls' insides into knots.

[sikoo31]

he likes you.

i wouldn't respond to a girl like that unless I liked her.

and lots of guys don't like texting to begin with.

[Asker]

I hope he does! :) He's cute and really sweet!

[sikoo31]

well, ask him out.

[Asker]

I did ask him to meet up with me once when we both had our kids (both single parents). We did and I was horribly nervous around him.

[sikoo31]

haha you must really like him.

well ask him again, try to relax this time.

[Asker]

He notices that I get nervous. He's nice about it. Would like to ask him to hang out again, but I get horribly nervous and almost feel like I will be sick (attractive and charming huh?) and get scared that he may think it's odd to ask him to hang out.

[sikoo31]

haha he probably just thinks its cute that you like him so much you get nervous around him.

i would.

[Asker]

I hope he does! :)

[sikoo31]

i'm pretty sure he does.

he's still replying to you after that date right?

[Asker]

Not really a date considering the kids were there, but yeah. We text alot. Usually me starting because I want to get that thrill from a response, but he randomly messages me just to say hi and what's up type of thing. He didn't stop after he found out I like him, so I am hoping and guessing that's good.

[sikoo31]

well either he's too nice or he likes you.

but since he's a cop, I doubt he's too nice.

[Asker]

LOL, he can have tough cop moments. I know that. :)

[sikoo31]

i would hope so.

[Asker]

He can hold his own. People give him respect.

[sikoo31]

that's good

[Asker]

He's a nice guy but knows when to be tough.

[sikoo31]

good balance.

Time to see if he's going to close the deal. Are you always the first to initiate text conversation? If so, leave it until he initiates. If he does, good stuff. If he doesn't, and there isn't a call to talk and ask you out again, move on.

[Asker]

I have left it. He initiates then after a couple of days. I would like him to close the deal, but am also scared of getting hurt. He knows that.
