Hello everyone!
Who am I?
Hi everyone! My name is Rick. I am 20 years old and I am from the Netherlands. I am a gay male.
Why am I here?
OK. I'm going to try and explain this is as simple as possible, but like my title says, it is complicated!
I do hope you will read it because I desperately need advice!
What's my story?
About half a year ago, my best friend (female) said she had this really nice gay guy who was in her class. She said he really made her laugh in class and that his humor was just like mine. So she kept saying: "Maybe you should meet". But he was in a relationship. I was not (I had never had a boyfriend).
However I did met him once and he looked kinda nice and he seemed kinda nice, so I decided to talk to him on HYVES (which is like the Dutch version of Facebook). So he was like: You look really nice , etc , etc. So we started talking on MSN. Meanwhile, he was still in a relationship of 3 years. They actually lived together for 2 years. He never talked about his boyfriend. He made some loose comments like "Me and my boyfriend haven't been close for a long time", but I never really got into that.
So then a few weeks later, he talks to me again. He says he broke up with his boyfriend and is seeking a small place of his own. So I'm thrilled, even though I thought it was sad his relationship was breaking up. So two days later, he e-mails me and says: should we hang out? So...we hang out, went out for coffee @ starbucks, went shopping in Amsterdam, it was great fun. It was a really nice first date! So was the second date. It was great!
Then came the third date about one week later. We went to buy some new stuff for his place, so it was fun, he bought me dinner and was exceptionally nice to me. He was also a bit shy, he kept saying he thought I was more attractive than him and how his ex-boyfriend made him lose his selfconfidence.
He was really, really into me. He had my photograph hanging next to his bed. He bought all the candies I liked. He was always busy texting me, e-mailing me, msning with me, calling me and he mentioned me to all his friends and he showed my picture to them aswell because he wanted to "show me off".
So, on the third date, we kissed and then everything went really quickly. I wanted to have sex with him because he had been so nice to me and he was having such a hard time getting use to his new home, so we had sex. No detaills here but during the sex he was really nice and respectful to me, it was my first time and it felt like I made the right choice to do it with him.
But then everything suddenly went wrong. After having sex, he was really abscent minded. He went to do his homework. He later dropped me off at the train station and said he really needed some time. He would call me but he really needed some distance. "It was all too much".
So I'm really confused. That was about 1.5 month ago.
I deleted him on MSN, HYVES and I deleted him from my phone after a week because he didn't contact me.
I called him one week later. He said he still really needed some time. He really likes me but he is just not open to a relationship yet. I told him, I would never call him again. I said: "The initative lies with you. If you want to contact me, you should do so, but I'm not going to contact you anymore".
Now, he does still talk to my best friend. He still mentions me a lot and he often asks if I still talk about him.
What advice do I need?
I really want to know two things really.
First of all, do you think he is EVER going to call me?
Secondly, what do you think I should do when he does?
