Search Results: the point of giving up

My Co-Worker who I like. Asked me almost everyday if I wanted a ride home for like 3 weeks. I said no. Finally I said yes and gave in when he said “when are you gonna let me give you a ride home”

when i I did get in his car he said “finally I get to give you a ride after I’ve been asking and asking and asking”

since then (about a month) he’s giving me a ride. And has picked me up in the morning sometimes. ( roughly 25ish rides home and 4-5 ones in the morning)

its to the point now where he just says “are you ready” when’s he’s leaving and doesn’t ask. ( I’ve never asked)

also when ever we get to my apartment we usually end up talking for anywhere between 10-60 minutes in his car.

Once We were talking. I Said “sorry for bothering you with my problems”

He said something like your not bothering me. That’s what true friends do. I wanna be your true friend” another time I was really sad and having a bad day and he drove me home and he talked is his car for the 10 min drive and for 30 minutes after. We just sat there and he tried to make me feel better and I texted thanks after and he said “no need to thank. That’s what friends are for! Love ya ( my name)

Another time I told him I guy I asked out called me ugly!! He said “don’t take what he said to heart, don’t believe what he said is true because it’s not you’re amazing and you’re beautiful and you have a lot to offer someone” a few days later I told him I used to think they had a point and he texted me “They never had a point, they were never right. You should always be confident in yourself and what you have to offer”.

If I say I’m a werdio or I’m boring he’ll say “no your not”.

He left for vacation and said “when I get back we’ll have fun”

Ill point out I’ve only know him since may

The thing that trips me up is one day I was upset and he said “I wanna be your true friend, I hope you know that” what the heck.

This guy and I have been doing this dance for years now, trying to figure out if we should date. Distance was the problem for a long while, but now we're close by again and he told me he wants to give us a shot, but he wants to be sure of what he wants first.

He's never been in a relationship, so I know he's sort of clumsy and often doesn't know what to do (he said it himself when we kissed - it was his first - the last time we met up). He's also 4 years younger than me (I understand I need to be patient with him). Recently he's been distant, although the last time we spoke he said his feelings hadn't changed and promised me he'd let me know the instant he changed his mind about wanting to give us a shot.

He's been distant in the past (we suck at texting) and I've blatantly asked him if we could try harder to communicate. He's said yes on two separate occasions and he's followed through-for a few days/weeks each time, before reverting to distant texting habits again.

The fact that he's distant is stressing me, and I don't feel it's right to ask him to put effort in again. I can't tell if he's doing it on purpose or if it's just the way he is at this point.

I only want him. I've tried to date other people when it seemed hopeless in between long months of no contact with him, but it always felt unfair to them because he's my number one interest. Even if I do try to date someone else right now, the instant he says he wants me I'll run to him.

I don't know what to do. Time will probably be the answer, but quite frankly I'm torn between giving him the benefit of the doubt and giving in to the hurt, stress, and confusion I feel. I won't take it out on him cause that would be unfair (or maybe I'm making up excuses for him now, idk) but I'm tempted just to stop putting effort in.

I've been very clear with him and he knows I want to be with him. Should I just not respond to him for a while and see if I matter enough for him to call?
