Search Results: quotes about being in love

The guy I'm seeing is dealing with a loved one being diagnosed terminally, throwing him off in every way (previous post). Here's where things are now:

-I was the one who was initiating more convos since the news

-He asked me what I was doing the one night and when I answered with my non-important plans, he didn't follow up

-Turned out his friend had an extra concert ticket and he thought my response meant I was unavailable

-After giving him a (joking) hard time on the phone for missing out on the concert, I texted him after saying he should come over to make up for it

-No answer all night

-Next day I came across a relevant quote on IG, sent it to him and asked if we were ok

-He responded with paragraphs saying that this is why he tried to end things initially because he knows the state he's in is unfair to me, he doesn't have much he can give right now, but that yes in his mind we're good, he still cares about, enjoys, and appreciates me, he just hasn't reached any clarity in terms of what he wants in a relationship

-I apologized for possibly being too much in my attempts to be there for him, told him he knows where I stand but I'm going to be giving him more space

-He answered hours later saying "Don't worry about giving me too much or too little space, try not to worry about me at all, I'm doing what I'm doing and I don't want to have to feel apologetic about it. Right now my focus is me, it's selfish but it has to be. Work is demanding, my goals are close at hand, and I don't want my life to feel complicated"

-To which I simply replied "Aye aye captain" because that, to me, screamed that he needed space

-He continued with the convo as usual, asking how my day was

Since then he's been the one to initiate more convos again, seems more present, and after sending me a song in the morning, joking around as usual, then not talking for half the day yesterday, I get a goodnight text before bed. Could my attempt to give him space really be prompting this?

SORRY FOR THE BIG BLOCK OF TEXT! Please read it though. Thank you. :)

Instance 1:

At lunch, my friend, who I'll call Devante, asked if my real name was Katie.

"No," I replied, "My real name is Kaitlin."

Now, prior to this little tangent, my crush, who I'll call Jackson, asked me to quote "drop some bars." 😂 This was because Devante and him were freestyle rapping beforehand and roasting people. But, this isn't the first time that's happened.

Jackson has asked me to sing or rap for him several times over the course of a couple days. Each time, I've said no because I'll embarrass myself. This time, he had some leverage because I hated being called Kaitlin.

"Rap right now or I'll call you Kaitlin for the rest of your life." Jackson challenges.

"No, I'm not rapping. And I won't answer to Kaitlin if you call me that."

So, after that, he kept calling me Kaitlin anyway, knowing it gets on my nerves.

Instance 2:

As Jackson and I were walking to our next class together, I asked him if he had recorded any of the songs his band played the other day at their gig at a local place (My friends and I went to see them play and later went out to eat with them at like midnight lol).

"Yeah, but only two." Jackson responded.

"I was just asking because I absolutely loved all the songs you guys played the other night." I explained.

"Thank you. It means a lot... (insert awkward pause) Uh, especially considering the work we put into it." Jackson says.

"Well, I love that your lyrics have meaning, the guitar is epic in your songs, and, of course, your voice." I smiled widely, waving to him.

I heard him say "Yeah," and nod bye to me quickly before he went into his next classroom and I walked on to my class because people were shoving him into the classroom trying to get in.

So, do you think he may like me? Is he flirting with me? I have a crush on him, and was just wondering if these interactions tell you anything about our relationship or his feelings. Thank you!
