Is it the right thing?

I left in delivered the guy I'm talking to (weve been talking for like 3 months now) and I did it because my guy friend said so and also some of my other friends. The reason is because he started going hours without texting me and we couldn't even have a proper conversation because he was just taking more than 5 hours to reply, when he really wasn't like that before.

It hurts so much and I've been crying a lot but I think it's the best, isn't it? I already confessed to him when summer break started and he said he likes me too (he liked me first) but I don't know why he's acting like this. I want to know if maybe he reaches out I don't know I just feel like he lost interest and im like really depressed right now because of that. :(

Never make your decisions based off what someone else directs you to do. Instead, consider their advice first and see if it’s applicable to how you wanna date, because in so many cases they won’t even take their own advice. When it comes to the dry/slow texting: the goal is to get the conversations off the phone and in person. Seriously, once you spend that time texting, having deep conversations, etc., then you leave nothing to talk about face to face, and you flat out may not feel comfortable to do so. Next, don’t play games. Your friend is telling you to leave him on read, but some people won’t take to that lightly and will play games right back. You don’t want a game, you want a relationship and you want clarity, be firm about that. Now is the time to ask vital questions, like what’s he want right now? A relationship or casualty?

That time I asked him if we were just going to leave it as friends and he said yes but for now because he doesn't feel ready. The thing is that I don't know if he's being honest, I just don't understand why he ignores me and honestly I think I'm gonna text him if he doesn't do it today

If you’re texting just to say hey or check in that’s one thing, but if you’re trying to have a serious conversation then it has to be in person. Seriously, you can’t be too afraid to voice how you feel to someone’s face when you have something going on with them.

Yeah I'm just checking in for now. We don't see each other until August because of summer break but I know we do have to talk about a lot of stuff, he's just like really shy but if he really cares that shouldn't matter. Thank you, though!
