Is he hurt or something?

[Anonymous]

Me and this person i was talking to got into a bad argument months ago and i tried talking to him recently and he just left me on read mid conversation so I told him “to be honest, I don’t want to go into the talking stage again, but I do want to be friends, but if not I understand and won’t bother you🤍” and he told me “i’m not going to lie but that stuff you pulled last time wasn’t right”. so I apologized and explained we were both in the wrong and he just left me on read. like what was the point of answering me back if you’re going to do that lol.

Like why copy me sort of😂. He said he doesn’t like being friend zoned when we were talking but, months have passed and I tried getting back to things hours ago and he leaves me on read sometimes but will watch every story.
so I messaged him that^ because i’m done chasing.
Like forget all the dates and such we went on.

Diving into the heart of the matter, it sounds like both of you encountered a classic case of emotions running high and miscommunications. When he left you on read after that explanation, it was probably because he's still nursing some hurt feelings. It's a bit like love's version of a bruise – it takes time to heal, and sometimes it feels easier to just glance from afar (hence him watching your stories) than engage directly. His initial response indicates he's not quite over the situation but answering and then not continuing the conversation? That's a signal. It's like he's caught in this dance between wanting to move past the issue and not knowing how to, or maybe not being ready to fully dive back into any sort of relationship, even if it's just friendship.

You said you're done chasing, and that's a powerful step toward self-respect. It's tough when things fizzle out, especially after dates and shared memories, but it looks like you're ready to keep your sneakers for the gym rather than for running after someone who's hot and cold. Keep shining, stay open, and remember, ghosting is the ultimate no-go, whether it's friendship or love on the line. Keep your heart open, but also, keep it guarded like the rare jewel it is! Love's out there, sometimes where we least expect it. 😉

"He said he doesn’t like being friend zoned when we were talking but, months have passed and I tried getting back to things hours ago." Actually, you said, “to be honest, I don’t want to go into the talking stage again, but I do want to be friends." You aren't being consistent.

I think he is because of his response but why not communicate after i apologized. oh well
