I met this guy I really like, and I got the feeling he liked me too. We started texting each other, and at the beginning he used to text back instantly. I got really excited because I have a major crush on him and I think I went over-board texting him – every time I texted him, the messages just became longer and sillier (I cringe when I look back at them now! :'( … ) Every time it would take him longer to text back … He doesn’t text back quickly like he used to. It took him days to reply to my last message, so I started wondering why … ?
I was left confused so thought the only way was to turn to the net … and now after going on a few websites about texting guys (yes I’m that sad … ) I’m pretty sure I’ve put him way off since I’ve come across as too desperate …
And you don’t understand how stupid and sad I feel making this absolutely stupid mistake (texting him back quickly with very long and silly texts) … because I’m sure he’s no longer interested with someone who seems like a desperate and over-excited puppy … 🙁

Is there any way to get him interested in me after ruining it via text?
I don’t know how to reply to his last text (the one that took him years to reply to) because it sounded like he’s no longer interested and he’s just texting back to be polite by not completely ignoring it … 🙁
I don’t want to seem desperate so do I ignore it and see if he texts back again? Or ignore it and see if he says anything to me next time I see him (which is probably later this week) … and if he asks why I didn’t text back (if I don’t) what can I say to him? Any witty suggestions since he’s quite a funny guy?

Please, anyone help? I feel so gutted I wish I can go back and edit my texts …

Don’t do it. Don’t text back.

You have to understand that men want to be the ones who chase women, and when you make yourself SO available as you have (understatement 😳 ), he has nothing to chase and won’t find you attractive.

Stop texting him altogether. If he wants to contact you and ask you out on a date, he will. In the meantime, buy and read Think & Date Like A Man, so you understand some basic rules about dating that will lead you towards GETTING the man, not chasing him away as you have. 🙁 Here’s the link where you can purchase and automatically download the book to start reading today: [url]https://www.askapril.com/relationship-dating-advice/think-and-date-like-a-man.html[/url].
