"I'm not that into him but I'm still upset he's not calling"


I was introduced about four months ago to a guy that claimed he was interested in me, from what my friends told me. We have actually become so close and we always hang out together but he has stronger feelings for me than I do for him. He has made every effort to hang out with me, but all of a sudden he is acting strange and distant. I don't know if he is frustrated because he feels there is no future for us and feels he is wasting his time with me or what. He has not called me lately and has been very short the past few days, and I am confused. Have I done anything wrong?

Dear Karina,

Ahh, classic case of boy likes girl, girl doesn’t like boy as much as boy likes her, boy stops liking girl, girl loves boy! Okay, maybe that doesn’t exactly describe your situation, but it is pretty close. So because of that, I am not even going to ask the obvious question – why you care so much that he’s being distant if you aren’t that into him – and forge ahead with my advice.

If you genuinely like this guy, and not just because he’s all of a sudden pulling away, and you really want to be with him, than girlfriend – you gotta step it up a notch. Sometimes when we feel a certain way about someone, even if we don’t verbalize it, it becomes extremely evident through our actions and the vibes we subconsciously emit. It’s quite possible that your boy toy picked up on your lack of affection for him, and in an effort to save himself from heartache, hurt and a shattered ego, jumped ship before you could do it first.

On the other hand, because you know how much he likes you, if your feelings for him really aren’t very strong and you think the only reason they’ve escalated is due to his recent withdrawal, than I urge you to leave him be. Let him go so he can find a girl who wants to be with him just as much as he wants to be with her. Holding onto him for selfish reasons is not fair to either of you. And don’t you want to be with a guy you have more than luke-warm feelings for? Then get out there and find him so you can start your hot, hot, hot romance!

Good luck!
