Search Results: leave him or give him a chance

I liked a guy at work but I was too busy to date... only I did not decide this until after we began dating. I thought as we only dated a week he did not heed much of an explanation. It seemed like I would be thinking he cares more than he does to offer him one, so I just stopped talking to him. He asked what happen and I said I thought it was to hectic for both of us. I felt bad about it as time went on bc it was shallow and I don’t like people treating me that way I should have been nicer but I also still want to be with him so I feel really stupid like I view it.

I think I fell in love with him ( we knew each other before) and that might be partly why I waned to get out of it. Also I really feel like I can be able to try properly this time IF he gave me another chance.

We are still friends but he’s tense around me and kind of ignores me around others but will seek me out- that’s very confusing. He also recently gave me a book of poem he wrote for me when we were dating. He framed it in a crafted wooden frame he made himself and engraved it and looked for me to give it , but then played it off like he just wanted to get rid of it and he thought I might want it.

I was confused by this too. I have been after that to spend time with him alone to see if there is a chance he still likes me and to see if we can have another opportunity.

He will never say yes he wants to hang out or no he doesn’t. He is either kind or annoyed when I ask but he’s always nice again quickly if he does get upset.

I KNOW I messed up and I totally understand if he’s like no fuck off. I just don’t like all this not knowing. It is true I never actually told him WHY I want to hang out. Do you think it will make a difference?

I don’t want to make a big deal by apologizing bc he might not really care and then I’d be embarrassed.

I think I should leave the past behind and just ask him out now and let him reject me if that’s how he feels?

I just want to move forward with or without him.
