Last Sunday Jake Ryan and I got into a bit of an argument, where I unintentionally insulted him (he was way too defensive – I was only kidding around) and he actually insulted me. I called him back and I apologized, but he never did, and things have been weird ever since. I don’t hear from him again until Tuesday when he texts me, and when I call him to chat instead he half jokingly asks me to make it “snappy” because he’s busy watching tv and having dinner. I just said “FINE!” half petulently and then hung up. He texted me “You’re in a good mood
” and I just said back “Not my problem you’re an asshole!” and I don’t hear from him again.
I call him last night (Friday) but he doesn’t pick up, though he texts me to say he’s out and asks how I am. Literally. “Hi, I’m with coworkers. How are you?” It was so formal and weird. I just wrote back, “Good. Just wanted to chat. Having fun?” Then he just says he is and is gonna go to sleep soon and “Good night.”, ending our text convo just like that. And that’s the last time I heard anything from him, and he hasn’t tried making plans with me at all, which he did constantly at the beginning. I just don’t understand why he thinks he knows me well enough to just cut me out like that, to rather abruptly decide he isn’t interested! I wish he’d just talk to me, but he refuses.
I tried, but he isn’t giving an inch. I don’t know what went wrong or what I did. I’m still having a hard time wrapping my head around the complete 180. This is like Colin all over again, only on a smaller degree. It still makes me sad, but only because I was so happy and he was so sweet before, and life is just that much sweeter when a boy is being sweet, if you know what I mean!
Well, what can I do? Nothing. At least I still have his prescription painkillers. (Ha.) What a disappointment.

And guys say that women are the confusing sex. They’re just as bad.

I’m sorry
That is terrible. I would suggest texting him one last time with the following: “Weird week. I think we need to talk.” Whatever way this ends up going, you guys should talk about it.

The older I get, the more I see how most adults aren’t that much more mature than children. Sad that anyone is that thin skinned.
I’m not single but, if I was, I’d take you out

Wow! I’m in shock! And he sounded so promising!
Guys really are the most confusing people in the world. It’s ridiculous, honestly.

That IS disappointing… but you didn’t do anything! And you’ve done all you can do now, with regards to contacting him. Let him get ahold of you and, if he doesn’t… then he isn’t into you enough to deserve you!

First of all, I would not recommend sending the dreaded “We need to talk message”. It is an awful message to receive, and it’s also revealing too many cards too soon (hey, this is a game after all) by seeming like the relationship is very serious. I would just send a text saying “Hey, so did our insult banter the other day totally blow this for you or what? Just wondering” That way if he responds (even if it’s not what you want to hear), you’ll get some sort of closure. Instead of just waiting to see if he ever contacts you….we all know how annoying that is.

Sadly, it looks like even he had a fatal flaw. It is almost as though he was seeking out drama!! I’m sorry
