What do you think his problem is, Everything for making a relationship work is there so why won't he commit?

You know, sometimes opening your heart to someone can be insane and worth it. But the cruelest gesture is the constant denial and rejection. By nature I'm shy. And the assertive part doesn't come out of me unless I really want something because I can get very passionate about things. I work hard for everything but every-time I try at relationships I get shot down. I mean they say I'm smart, sweet/nice, beautiful, talented etc. but at some point for them I guess that's just not a enough. Take for instance this one relationship I really wanted with this guy: We'd talk, so the conversation was there, chemistry even. He'd even flirt with me and not bluntly either. So I got even more interested because I felt the feelings were mutual. There was no reason to doubt that until he wrote me one day, maybe we should just be friends. And although i was upset it didn't crush me. I was civil about it even with all that time I'd put into it, wanting us to work. So I stopped talking to him and for the past week and a 1/2 I ignored the guy. Then this week I wrote him back and he was even more eager to talk to me. So I kept it casual. But he kept trying to lead me on. So I indulged it just to satisfy my urge.So it was all going good until yesterday. I said something that I don't regret saying. My only mistake was hoping he'd understand. I was buzy so we texted each other. I wrote, "thinking about you boo.jk" Just being playful. And he wrote back, "now you kno you're not kidding." Then I said, "And what if I'm not?" His response came like 25 minutes later, saying why would you think that? My response, "You'll have to fine out."

So I was kinda kidding at first but I never thought he'd go off trying to take things even more serious. He got me to talking about stuff that reminded me of my ex, when he asked me why about something I said why about my feelings. And I put it plainly that although I had chemistry with other males socially, I couldn't see myself dating them because the conversation wasn't there not to mention they were to much like me ex. I won't deal with that again. But any way, after I said that he asked what do I want from him? I asked what do you mean. He wrote back saying, idk...what do you want me to do? I wanted him to call but he was so eager to text that night. So I said, How could you not kno what you mean? I want you to take a chance. Only if you do right by me. I'm not looking for a quick fix. And hell if it doesn't work out then at least we tried." And his response. ohh..mmhm...interesting. So I think I'm done with losers. I'm sick of giving people a chance when they just wanna play with my emotions. My sister wants to curse him out.lol.

What do you think, was he just laughing at me the entire time? And also what should I do now, move on or keep at it? Also what do you think his problem is? any advice for a sour feeling girl would be good. Thanks so much.

"I can relate"

Thanks NYCButterfly & Lyz Lenz. For Lyz Lenz: Honestly I never thought about it that way or that I was playing games with the guy. I really believed that I was putting myself out there even when he'd talk about wanting to date,which never happened. But I totally agree with what you said about putting what I wanted out there it. That's one thing I gotta work on is my ability to be more open to people cuz I'm shy. For NYCButterfly: My sis handed me this advice too. Thanks so much I really appreciate it.

"I can't relate, but I hear ya"

I don't know. I think it sounds like you guys were both playing games with one another and missed a chance at honest communication.

When he asked what you wanted from him you should have said, "Let's date." Put it out there. Unfortunately, it sounds like you were both trying to get the other one to commit first so you wouldn't have to put yourself out on a limb and you missed an opportunity. Cut the games.

I don't think its fair to just blame him here. He probably feels a little played too, which might explain why he got defensive and clammed up at the end. So, going forward, try honesty.

"I can relate"

He sounds like a normal immature guy who doesn't know what he wants. Since you seem to know what you want, I would just walk away and try to meet new people. If he is worthy of you, he'll step up to the plate. I think too many guys are used to getting girls too easy because we get fed up by their slowness and start following their lead - thus they get spoiled. If you do what you need and want by putting yourself first, maybe a light bulb will go off in his head. You put a lot of work in everything you care about -so you deserve a guy who will do the same for you. Don't you forget that!
