Hi guys.

Me and this guy really like each other. We have been hanging out as friends for the last six months. A couple of months ago, he started working two jobs and I have not been seeing him as much. So we haven't been hanging out like we used to.

This is the story. I kind of got ticked off at him because he started working more hours and couldn't see me like he used to. I thought that he wasn't interested in me as much because he started working all the time and we didn't spend any time together anymore.

One day out of the blue he and a bunch of his friends showed up at the restaurant where I work. He came close to when I would be getting off my shift. I was still ticked at him because I have hardly seen him in a month and then he suddenly shows up expecting me to jump all over him. So, I left that night after my shift was over and didn't go and talk to him. One of his friends told me he was waiting for me to go and talk to him.

I saw him a few days ago at a mutual friend's house. He looked over at me and then just completely ignored me. Then he left with his friends. So now that he ignored me, I am ignoring him back. This game has been going on for a few weeks.

I don't know what to do to get him back. Did he ignore me because I ignored him first? I am tired of playing this game. I really miss him. I guess my pride got in the way? I am not sure if maybe I was overreacting to his work situation?

Is it too late now? I don't know how I can approach him because it looks like he is hurt. Do guys egos get bruised? Maybe he will not want to talk to me anymore. But I thought that we had a really good attraction and friendship between us. Will he give it up or do you think he still likes me?

Thanks.

Talk to him. Show him you're still interested. If he likes you enough, that will be all that matters.

If it's an ego matter just go beg him pardon. Let him win, that's all.

kaykay1989 agony auntMens ego's do get bruised and I think he is ignoring you because you ignored him first. I think he may of taken it as a brush off. Pride probably did get in the way but the only way to try and sort this and stop the petty games is to try and talk to him and tell him how you felt and why you did it.

Hopefully he will understand but maybe in future just tell him how you feel instead of the cold shoulder xoxoxox

Someone needs to break the ice. He may have felt you totally ditched him in front of all of his friends and that may have been embarrassing for him or showed him how little you care for him. Guys have feelings too. Either way be the bigger person. Contact him and try to get him to talk to you in person one-on-one. If he ignores you at least you tried.
