Search Results: making a guy chase you

When we were best friends in high school... it was easy. We were stuck in the same school, we'd run into each other every day... so he'd have to forgive me, when we fought, and move on.

And we always fought. We were the kind of friends that were irritated by each other, more than happy with each other. But even then, we both valued each other over everyone else. And his opinion was priceless to me. Our arguments were always a few angry comments and then we'd cool off, or change the subject... Ugh... it's hard to explain. But both of us were the type of people that thrived on conflict, so it didn't mean we hated each other... even though it might look that way in the moment... And when we were good, we were great! Laughing, making fun of everything, playing games with each other. Anyway, that was a (poor) sum up of our relationship. :)

If he really was angry at me... I'd give him space until he didn't look mad and then I'd say something funny to make him laugh... And it usually worked! He'd be grumpy for awhile, but then in a day or two, he'd be back to his hilarious self.

Now that he lives an hour away... I haven't seen him since we had that fight a few years ago. The last text he sent me was him asking me why I left high school (which I did for other reasons), and saying he didn't want me to leave (which was really, REALLY, out of character for him, btw).

Anyway... I miss him. Badly. Like... I feel like part of me is missing, I miss him so bad. He's too stubborn to contact me again after I told him I really was leaving. I actually ran into him... but I couldn't talk to him because I was at work. He didn't try to text me... I did... after that day. But after I asked what I wanted to know at the time... I thought I would cut ties with him. Because talking to him hurt.

I don't know if I'll be able to talk to him yet, but... when I do...

If you were him, and you saw a girl that you knew a long time ago, go out of her way to reconnect with you... Would that turn you off? Is it unappealing? I don't feel like it's "chasing him" to want to hang out... but... perhaps it is.
