Dating problems

Hi! I am not experienced with dating so I need help. Well this guy and I had been dating for a few weeks. He called me every night, but we only saw each other about two times in total. He told me how much he liked me etc. etc. He asked me to dinner one night, and I said I couldn't go (I had a good excuse trust me). He just stopped calling me after that so I thought maybe he felt rejection. So I called him and asked him out, and he said he couldn't go but he'd call me later, and he never called and he hasn't called and it's been like 2 weeks. What should I do?

P.S.

I'm in my late teens.

Well, it sounds like, despite what he said, he just wasn't all that interested in you, because if he felt you were rejecting him by turning him down once, you let him know that wasn't the case by calling and asking him out!

Hi there

It sounds like you did nothing wrong. You talked a lot and got to know each other. You saw each other a couple of times. You didn't scare him off by turning him down once unless you said it in a mean way which I doubt. You even asked him out again by doing so assured him you were interested. If he so easily brushes you off after you saying no to one date (and you explained to him, right?) then he isn't worth it and doesn't want to pursue dating.

Set your sights on someone else.

It sounds like this guy took the easy way out, instead of telling you how he really felt. His feelings might have changed, or whatever, but instead of being honest, he used this as an excuse to not talk to you.


As hard as it may be, I would go your own way, and move on.


Good luck,
