A female United States age 30-35, *orrytoomuch writes:

So basically I've never met a guy that I've recently started talking to through text. We have mutual friends and go to the same college. Anyways, we started talking on facebook and then he asked for my number. After that we've texted everyday except 2 and it's been going on for about 2 or 3 weeks.

I've developed a crush on him and he says things to me sometimes that makes me feel that he may be interested. For example-- he mentioned that we should hang out.. more than once. I always say that I'd love to but he never pins down a date. He seems to flirt a lot through texts and we text for hours (sometimes 6 hours!). He has told me he is shy but so am I. I've tried to show interest by asking him questions about his life and he always throughly answers. He always asks me stuff as well. I've also contacted him first and then he texts me first the next day... and so on and so on. I've told him to call me sometime when we were saying good night once and he's said "will do" but never has.

He lives an hour away from me and told me Sunday that he might be coming into my town this week. And I said "sounds great" the next he never said anything to me... I tried to "encourage" him and left him a comment on his facebook on one of his pictures saying "you're cute!" he just said "haha thanks". and never texted me. although-- he texted me the day before and it should've been 'my turn'.

Anyways, he's said things like "you should come with me to do...blah blah blah" or "we should go eat at blah blah blah" or.. "we should hang out when i'm in town".

Does any of this sound like he's interested? Or is it just simply getting to know you/friendly stuff. He said he's shy and so am I. But I don't want to hope one thing when he's just being nice. On his facebook he seems to have a lot of girl friends so I just don't know. What do yall think?

Well with this much of communication I'd say he is interested. I'm sure what makes him nervous is the new experience of having never met someone but loving them. He prolly would call...and almost bring himself to it but he chickens out...maybe ^^ Hey its easy for you, you just have to receive the call!

To be fair, I think you should at least meet him or both of you just agree to meet already before I start throwing tennis balls at you two. :P But yeah, you gotta at least meet him before you start hoping for more. I guess with his shyness comes slowness...I've been this nice to girls and when I am slow like this it is because I want the girl to say "ok lets meet at "xyz" at "123" time".

Also I don't think he has other interest in girls...the amount of time you guys spent texting and the effort he puts into answering you properly well he wouldn't do that if he had other interests.

Well hope you two meet, and hope something good happens. Be careful and be good. Good Luck.
