Am I making excuses rather than facing the truth?

Hey everyone,

I understand that this probably isn't one of the most important/serious questions that surface on this site but I would really appreciate some advice. I finally had the guts to add someone I really like on Facebook. (I know, yet another silly Facebook sob story.) Actually, the term "like" doesn't really do my feelings justice. I lost contact with him over a year ago due to our work settings. But I haven't gone a day without thinking about what could have been. So I was advised by a friend to look him up on that site, low and behold he had a profile. I felt incredibly unsure of what to do. Being nearly a year later. But I sent him a message and he responded.

We chatted back and forth and he had made known to me just how happy he was to hear from me. Then after he sent that message, I responded and he hasn't sent a thing in return. Its been nearly a month. I've since learned that he had broken up with the woman he was seeing and now he's gone on a work related trip.

I feel as though I've dug myself into this deep hole. Im not sure what to make of it all. Im stuck. My feelings are still so strong, yet am I making excuses rather than facing the truth. Or am I over analyzing things? Maybe he really is that preoccupied... If only I had left things well enough alone.

This type of dramatic behavior is very out of character for me. I don't know how to handle these things. As odd as this may seem, I have this strange gut feeling to continue to wait it out.

Anybody?

Hi

First of all, no question is more important that another. If this is bothering you, then of course it's important.

You could try messaging him on Facebook with a light opening question. Maybe something along the lines of 'Hi, long time no speak, what have you been up to? Anything exciting?' This gives him the opportunity to write back and it may just get you chatting again. If he really is as happy to hear from you as he makes out, you'll be chatting again in no time.

Hope this is of some help :)

Good Luck x x
