-- Posted by Tinabelle at 11:02 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 I deleted this guy I like and have been best friends with for 5 years off my friends list on myspace, cause I was really frustrated with him, and I was convinced I wanted him out of my life cause I'm tired of feeling sad all the time. He kept hinting around that he might have feelings for me, but refused to come out and say it, or do anything about it. And I'm FRUSTRATED like hell about it, cause I've been in love with him for 5 years. Anyway--after I deleted him, he sent me an IM and here was the (short) convo: HIM: So you deleted me off myspace? That's fine. ME: Best way to focus on people who actually care about me and my feelings. HIM:Oh yeah, COMPLETELY ME: God you've been such an asshole lately HIM: You know what that's fine because I'll be honest with you right now: You know why I've avoided talking to you lately? Because I've dated so many people that I felt like I was done with all these stupid relationships until you told me how you felt. And so finally I was like "oh wow, this might be the one..." But apparently not, because somehow I feel like I know you the best, but I really don't sometimes. ME: Then you should have SAID that instead of making me go crazy for two weeks after COMPLETELY pouring my heart out to you. HIM: I dont know how to tell someone my feelings. I suck at it. (2 hours later) ME: So you're just gonna not talk to me anymore? HIM: No, I will. I'm just gonna gather my thoughts. Why do I have the feeling it's over? :'( Why would he say all that? To keep me after he thought he was losing me, or to end things cleanly? I'm so SICK of feeling so sad and stressed out all the time. I've put up with this for 5 years! I'm a firm believer in that if we didn't have to fight for what we love, there would be no passion in the world--but damn. I can only take so much :( Halp. -- Posted by Stand Up at 12:38 am on Dec. 29, 2008 I'd say to give it a rest. At least a few days. See what happens and then worry. For all you know he just needs time to clear his mind and do things the right way. Don't pressure him for a while, then if he doesn't make a move after let's say 4/7 days, then talk to him and set the record straight.
