We are going on a date tomorrow. He was busy all weekend, so I did not hear much from him. He sent me a text telling me that he was feeling sick and he apologized. BUT that annoying girl and him have been talking often. (Saw it on her facebook ~ She freaking announces everything!).

I am beginning to feel like he likes her more than he likes me. One of my guy friends told me that sometimes a guy does that because he is not sure how to act around a girl he really likes and it is easier for him to relate to friends that are girls..

Is this true? Does this guy like me or should I move on?

Also, I have heard that guys are like rubber bands and they "pull away" when they begin to feel strong emotions toward someone, and they will spring back when they are ready...

Wait until after your date to assess things. Be interested and interesting. Be complimentary and courteous. Smile and appear confident.

I would not agree with the rubber band concept. If they feel strong emotions, they likely would attempt to get closer rather than pull back, unless they feel their actions are not welcomed.

Be someone who makes him feel good about himself. He'll then pull you closer.

We had a date, and I had a really great time and I believe he did too. The next day I send a follow up text and I said "Thank you again for buying dinner. I had a great time, you always make me laugh.. Next time it will be my treat."

I have not heard anything from him since. He has also stayed off of facebook & other social sites.

What gives? Is he ignoring me?

There could be any number of reasons, including not wanting to appear too eager. There's no rule that says one must respond to every text, much less within a time limit.

Don't read anything into it. If he enjoyed being with you and wants to repeat the experience, you'll hear from him. Meantime, don't be like that other girl, hounding him with calls, texts, etc. Be cool and give him time and space. He'll appreciate that.

To add to what Pusser said, the "you always make me laugh" line was used way too early. You've hung out with him for less than a month!

Also, many people including girls don't reply to text messages most of the time or at all so don't worry about it.

@ WhoIam, I have known him for several months, and we have many mutual friends. Everyone knows he is hilarious. I did not think I used that line to soon.

So, he asked me to join him to an event and I can't go because of work obligations. I sent him a facebook message apologizing for not being able to go to the event and asked him to join me in watching a movie this weekend instead.

Was this ok? I feel like the guy should do the chasing during the beginning stages, but he did ask me and I honestly can't go.

Of course it's okay! You're WAAY over thinking it again He offered, you couldn't. Came back with a counter-offer that's more intimate and good for moving forward instead. If he doesn't jump at THAT offer he's a bit of a dud.

Keep us posted!

Oh, did you get the PM about my truly-not-full PM box?

@ Poetman, I tried to send you a PM a few weeks ago, but I was not sure if you got it.

We are going to see the movie this Saturday before a group event with our mutual friends.
