    More Confused the Ever
    so me and this guy have been together for a month and about 4 days...when we hang out together its great...(couldn't be better) but then when we go our separate ways...everything starts to fall down. meaning that i basically have to be ALL UP ON HIM... calling, texting him and writing cute letters that come from my heart. i really care about him. and until this day i have no dought that me and him are meant to have something together.

    what i'm confused about is that i keep asking him why doesnt' he calls me? and he gives me this BS saying that he's depressed and he doesnt want to make me depressed....WELLLLLL he's making me depressed by not calling at all. and every time i call him, it seems like he wants to rush me off the phone saying that he's going to call me later but never does. so what should i do?? i really need some advice...because im trying to make this work but sometimes it seems like im the only one trying. :(

    Listen I'm sorry to say but the more you call and text this person the more you annoy him the more he wants space, My GF use to do that to me all the time, and it was so annoying, it does't seem like it but, he actually likes you doing that, annoying him, its human nature, he has all your attention, ever since I my girlfriend stopped annoying me... I stratered doing what she did so I'm basically in your shoes, and I'm training myself to quit bugging! Her! Its hard because they don't understand but learn to be mysterious and show him your busy give it two weeks and he will act the way you want him to, I'm telling you that because it happened to me. And other people I know good luck

    He likes what your doing, but doesn't want to do it back. Guess he figures you do enough for you both. Not very equal, but who am I to judge.

    yea i think your kinda right....so maybe i should do what u told me and stop calling and texting him....and if he complains then i'll tell him that he doesn't show me enough attention either. but let's just hope everything works out.

    Its only been a month - why get so intense? Stop calling and texting so much. Whether you're a guy or girl - that's enough to push anyone away.

    Ya the last person is right. Trust me don't rush things and play the field because all your going to do is stress yourself out for nothing. When you guys hang out hang out when you don't you don't. Don't trip over this if it doesn't play in your favor talk to someone else. Always keep your options open

    If he can't give a little to get a little, thats a red flag that he is selfish or controlling. Talk to him about your concerns and if he refuses to change and accommodate your feelings, you have two options, rethink the relationship, or stop texting. Sometimes the only respect you get are the ones you demand.

    I think you're going overboard with the whole thing... and scaring the guy away. Just one month, and you expect things to be falling in place as you desired. Honey, it doesn't work that way. You know something, if you want to be respected and want this guy to be with you for a longer period, then take my advice... please try to get to know him with little slow moves... he doesn't call or text is only because he might be trying to see the depth of waters. Either way you'll be the loser. If he guesses u're too deep into it already, then he would know he has you to empower control, and his chase charm would also vanish... so this is going to be fatal again. IF you want to retain this guy, make the right moves... with dignity... DON'T SHOW EMOTIONS(which u're already doing by constantly texting and calling) and trust me, will be manipulated later on.

    Forcing him one way or the other to call / text may result in some serious pain. If he wants to, he will. Just give him space, and give him time. But don't be all depressed either because that'll get you no where. Act okay with things, and be okay with things. CALM DOWN. Breathe, and be okay.

    When he calls, say" yeah we can talk for 2 min and then I need to do something very urgent" and hang up precisely after the initial few min... show you have other things to do as well... it's human nature, when we get attention, we take it for granted... and that's precisely what your b/f is doing... I repeat... it's too early for you to wait for anyone's calls... u're putting your life on hold for an uncertain future with someone you hardly know. If you stay normal and concentrate on knowing him more than jumping onto things, you'll never have to write a post on BReak ups here... later on that is..!
