Mixed Signals!

Men are pigs, get over it and move on. If he wants to talk to you, he will but don't wait around for him to decide that you're good enough.

Whoa.
:noway:

And it was her first post ever. Just imagine what other gems she has to offer!

Well, first of all, it has been my experience that guys don't typically befriend women that they have no romantic interest in. I'm not saying it's NOT possible for a guy to be "just friends" with a woman, but usually there is some level of attraction there.

But, having said that, his newfound distance does probably indicate that he's placing his attention on someone new. So you have to ask yourself what you want from this guy. If you're in it to win it, keep up with the friendship, but don't get clingy. Maybe it will happen in time, or maybe it won't. Just be yourself.

Yes.
You.
I know how to write.
I just don't care to write correctly at the moment.
I'm upset, okay? You guys around here say you're nice but... I was just asking for some help, okay?

if you really want advice...grow some balls and straight out ask him what is up....you seem to have a great friendship, and yes you two were busy at school, so since its the start to a new semester/new year be upfront with him.

sorry linds...I disagree.

Last thing guys like is why? why? why?

This is true. Men HATE a ton of questions. Even if they love you...

They hate it, but it's a means to an end. Would you rather just wait and wonder or get it from the source?

as for me, I didnt say stop speaking to him! Be friendly and intereact, etc...i just meant dont grill him.

If there's one thing I've learned about men: If you have to wonder whether they "like" you or not, they DON'T.

I know this hurts. I'm sorry. But I think most guys will agree with me. Even the shy guy next door will find some way to communicate their feelings. "Busy" doesn't count. No man is EVER too busy to show a woman that he's into her...

Yeah....don't do that.

People are just so mean...I've never seen people act and say such mean things to people on this site...But on a brighter note follow your gut instinct and always do whats best for you and never leave or put your well being in anyones hands. Know what you want and don't settle for less.

I hope this helps.

My girlfriend occasionally asks if I love her... Apparently smothering her with affection, kisses & being sickeningly complimentary isn't proof enough - I love her to pieces, I think she just struggles to see why - so I don't entirely agree with that, but it's probably spot on in most cases!

I agree with the last part, there are 24 hours in a day, it takes a matter of seconds to show somebody you care, whatever way you choose to do it.

And something you need to remember. If a man wants to spend time with a woman, if he wants to talk to a woman. He will. He'll be there. As much if not more than you want.

When men distance themselves they have a hard time disappointing a woman. But you need to realize you are better than those kind of games. Just move on. Be happy somewhere else.

I partially disagree with that. It depends on the guy.

I for instance have extreme tunnel vision. If I'm focused on studying, time flies by and before I know it it's 11pm and too late to contact people. I can pass through a week without knowing it. I'll say "okay, tomorrow I'll call ---" and then I get distracted and it happens again and again until it's a month later and I haven't talked to anyone. It's not that I don't care or want to. I just get enveloped in things and temporarily forget everything else.

right...so I would text you and talk to you...not be all why?why? why?
and if you were interested you would write back
its not complicated

depends!

I rlly want 2 start the new year off fresh and on a good foot but i don't know if I should talk to him about why he hasn't been contacting me as much?

No. Do not address the fact that he is otherwise occupied. You are NOT his girlfriend or his wife. You are his friend. Be the friend. Do you nag your friends if they've been busy? No, I doubt it.

Would that seem intrusive/ give him 2nd thoughts if he didn't already have them?

YES!

I mean, he's still really nice when we do talk and he flirts w/ me a bit i think but I'm getting so many mixed signals & I rlly don't know what to do!

If and when he flirts with you - flirt back. Full Stop. Do not do carryovers. Do not replay one-time moments. If he really likes you like that, you'd know and he'd show it. Move on. Stay busy. Do not be needy. Don't be dependent on his attention via text/skype. He is your friend. Stay within those boundaries. You are obviously open to exploring other possibilities within your friendship, via his signals, only that he is seemingly running hot and cold. Be temperate. Don't push. Have no expectations. Most importantly choose you and don't forget to live.

EDIT: Adjust quote box.

with grammar skills like that, he may not want to talk to you...the red pen would be in full force....yikes.

Goodness me, you're rude. With written skills like yours I would keep quiet. Ellipsis is THREE dots, not four and there would be a space when you've finished with them. You might also like to consider some capital letters and perhaps, an exclamation mark after the word, "Yikes".

M'kay?

Whatever. There is that better?
