Polls: Guy's Behavior

It’s almost like he saw me when nobody else did because I was sort of a loner. He wasn’t and girls liked him etc. But he was genuinely kind … he listened when no one else did, he changed the page of my book when it was on the wrong page , he complimented me, he had his sister to talk to me when no one else did. And our mothers exchanged numbers for carpooling. I never forgot it after all these years

he's married now with a family and I reached out to thank him and I was left on seen. I wonder why he changed especially when I didn’t think it was anything more than nice niceness

This year so far has been pretty lucky for me. Met not one but two amazing guys. One didn't quite workout but this new one seems to be hitting the jackpot. He's almost everything I'm looking for in a guy.

It's early days though so I don't want to jinx anything but I think this might be it.

Here's my story:

I attended a fun summer daycare (not for babies) and met my crush there. I was hanging out with my best friend while she chatted with the person in charge. That person told me, "You are the shyest person I have ever met. Well, you and [my crush]." I was curious, asking myself, who could that be? The very next day, he sat next to me on the bus. He's pretty cute, and I began to develop feelings for him.

A whole year passed, and I hadn't revealed my crush or talked to him. Finally, I gathered the courage to tell my sisters. This turned out to be a mistake. They told my best friend and then my crush. When my best friend and I discovered that my sister spilled the beans to my crush, she insisted that I talk to him (for the very first time!). I said, "I don't know what she's talking about. I have nothing to say to you." I was so mean and embarrassing, right?

After that, his behavior became quite strange. He would always be right in front of or behind me in line, sit across from me on the bus, and twice, he followed me around when my best friend was out sick or something. One time, after being away for two weeks, I returned and was walking to the end of the line when I turned to see him staring and smiling widely at me. I literally jumped!

A few years later, on a Monday, I told the person in charge that my last day would be that Wednesday, and my crush stood next to her, looking a bit sad. Typically, we'd go to the pool on Wednesdays, but he always skipped because he didn’t like it or something. However, on that Wednesday, he came, but only to avoid going to the pool. He stayed out of the pool and watched everyone else swim (including me!). (It was my last day, not everyone else’s, which made me suspicious.) Later that day, at pickup, he stood in the middle of the hallway and watched me leave. So, what do you think? Does he like me back, or am I just imagining things? ❤

I think a lot of men like older women. They feel comfortable with older because women have more experience and wise to show him the way.

He said he will return it. He gambled a lot of money, his own (I don't know how much), 200 of mine and 800 that he borrowed. In comparison I make 1200 a month. So he gambled what would be my monthly salary and probably more. He makes around 3000 or more. But it seems he has a big gambling problem.

He saw messages on my phone that I am planning to get an additional job to do in the afternoon. And he said that I must not work that much and that I need to think about the baby. I snapped at him told him that I really need the money. All I have now is like 3 euros which can get me a cup of coffee around here and he tells me not to work that much. As if I have a choice... He didn't leave me any. I keep crying he says he is sorry but that he can't do anything about it, that it is in the past.

As stated in the main question, the person chose not to read it... and the letter ends stating that if the person doesn't accept the olive branch I will walk away and don't want the person in my life. After months of time and space the person claimed to want a connection of some sort, but (1) without reading the letter or (2) accepting the request to be more mindful.

I'm sticking to my guns and walking away, however I'd like to know what y'all think... I don't know why the person would want to keep bugging me to maintain some sort of connection when clearly we're not morally on the same page.

We were texting about how our days were going and I told him what I was up to and how I was excited because it was nice out and I got to wear my new dress.

Then he told me that he wanted to see it. Is this something usual to ask a girl that you’re just friends with?

I hearted his goodnight… I know technically he was the last to text, am I expected to reach out or should I leave the ball in his court?
