Okay, so this is going to be really long.
I know this guy who I’ve grown up with, and he moved away when we were in middle school. Throughout middle school and most of high school, he was nonexistent. Then the last two years of high school he started coming around more and more, always coming over to talk to my dad, but he would always make fun of me or mess with me. This went on for a while, then I realised I liked him and he possibly could like me too.
He went away to the military and I didn’t talk to him until I saw he was out of basic training. I talked to him on his birthday and Christmas (which are 4 days apart) and that was the last I talked to him.
He texted me a month or so ago, just out of the blue, and I was really happy. I was doing rough because since he left, I was lonely and didn’t want to talk to him because I didn’t know what was going on. So I talked to him for a little while, since he said he was coming back home for a little while.
So he texted me a week after I hadn’t gotten to talk to him, and I was upset because of something my parents had said to me, so I was kinda a jerk. My parents told me to text him the next day and see what he was doing. So I did. I said, “Hey, what’s up?” A minute later I got a text saying “At his girlfriend’s house” with a bunch of emojis at the end. So being the mean person I am, I texted back, “Awesome! Have fun!” I was really upset after that. I haven’t talked to him in a month.
Prom was this past weekend. My mom posted pictures of me and my date (just my best friend). I was in the middle of taking pictures with my best friends and I get a text from this guy. I was really upset because he hurt me when he kinda led me on, and I don’t even know if they are together or if they broke up or what. So I told him this “Prom. Text me later.” I get a text back “Oh I’m sorry hope you have fun.” I texted back a few hours after prom saying “I did.”
I got a text yesterday asking how prom was, and I was upset because I keep getting confused by this guy. I mean I’ve liked him for a long time, and I can’t seem to understand what’s going on in his head. So I just started talking to him after my parents said I was being too mean to him, and I basically told him again I liked him after we had a long and uncomfortable conversation (well, for me it was uncomfortable).
How should I go about this? I really want to keep him in my life, but I don’t know what to think of him and his actions. I want to understand what’s going on so I can find my next move.
