Thanks FlaCooln. You confirmed what I believe: Dude would HAVE to know. But he does see me talking to other guys so maybe he thinks he's not the only one who gets attention, or worse, thinks I need the attention.
His last relationship was really bad, he announced he didn't want a girlfriend/doesn't want marriage, and when I first met him, everyone told me that. But when I asked him, he said he does want to.
If he says he won't chase and just waits for it to happen, does that mean a girl does all the work?
I feel like I've done a lot to show interest. But then I pull away, avoid him, etc.
It's so frustrating because when a nice guy drives a girl somewhere or puts time aside to help her, and texts "have a nice day" and stays on the phone for half an hour with her, it can all just be friendliness. I feel like he likes me because why all the staring and quietness and moodiness when he sees me with other guys.. I worry he just likes the attention not actually likes ME.
Plus on one occasion I said "I think I have to move away or something to ever meet anyone" and he goes "so there's no guys here?" And I said "no." And he goes "Right. You gotta spit out." (Meaning I took too long to make the point there's no guys here for me)
I don't know what to do anymore. I hate having to show interest, I am one of those girls who read all the books that say "a man will make it very clear he likes you, you don't have to give him anything" so I worry this guy knows but he doesn't want to do anything about it. Unless I have been giving mixed signals and he's not entirely sure.
