Hi Michelle
I think I just want to maintain a friendship- I know it doesn’t come across like that but I just recently lost my nan so I’m scared of losing another person right now if that makes sense. We resolved the part about the boundaries, he was more that happy to carry on the friendship and doing want we do. I messaged him asking how he was, then wished him merry Christmas and last message was an apology. I sent them messages to make sure he knew I was there for him and appreciated.
The unhealthy part is I isolated myself away from my other friends which i have been trying to change.
HParticipantHi Anita
Sounds silly but I saw that he had liked a picture of a girl on instagram…then thoughts went wild so I ended up sending the message. I got upset that he wasn’t talking to me but on instagram. Had a mad moment I admit! Severe anxiety problems
HParticipantHi Anita
Right now I just want him to talk to me and just carry on being friends. I ended up panicking and sending him the message I wrote yesterday but I’m just being careful not to send anymore
HParticipantHi Anita
I understand, I’ll leave that part out especially if it’s argumentative. Hmm initially I actually didn’t want anything from him but a friendship. I was doing a PhD and just wanted to focus on that. He had just come out of a long relationship, so I guess we just went with it as it was fun
HParticipantAlso should I mention something about how I spent time with him because I enjoyed it and not because I wanted something from him? I know we’ve argued before because my over thinking but don’t want him to think I forced myself to do it
HParticipantThanks Anita! Happy New year to you to! I’ll definitely let you know, just hoping for the best now. H
HParticipantHi Anita
Thank you, you’ve helped a lot.
I’ll wait a few days and then send it
Thanks!
HParticipantI can definitely add that bit on to what I’ve wrote! Thanks for that. I don’t want it to come across as a letter, considering my recent confession that I had feelings for him.
The thing I wrote is quite long and basically just thanks him for being there for me as a friend. He already said we need some space as I’m quite dependent on him…Should I just send it now or wait it out until he replies? Don’t want to lose him by sending him more messages.
HParticipantHi Anita
Yes that’s right- a lot of messages about my problems. I would ask him how he was. We had an argument on Friday night, he was very and nearly stopped talking to me. He told me the whole three years we had known each other it was one sided.
We semi resolved it on Saturday and had a one message exchange on Sunday morning. I then sent a follow up message on Sunday evening asking him how he was etc, and then another message yesterday wishing him merry Xmas.
Thanks
HParticipantHi Anita
Yes this is the same person. I made him feel underappreciated and sometimes forgot that his problems mattered too. He helped me a lot with my eating and personal problems but he had a argument with me recently so I’ve been on egg shells around him and told me it was all one sided for him. I had the tendency of asking him if he was ok but then sending him loads of other messages so the meaning got lost, if that makes sense. I’ve drafted a message for him but I don’t want to go back to spamming him as he’s not been in touch since Sunday.
Thanks
HParticipantHi
I need to write this guy an apology letter, he seems underappreciated but I want him to know he’s not. My problem is a send him a lot of messages sometimes and they lose there meaning. I’ve already sent him three messages- is it ideal to go ahead and send it then wait or give him time to respond? Such a silly question but don’t want to sabotage again
Thanks
HParticipantThanks Anita. Should I lay off asking him to do things online for a bit as well?
HParticipantHi Anita
Sorry should have said meet up in person as I think it’s time? Don’t want to force it though considering what i told him.
He said he was still ok with doing things as usual and wanted to carry on as feelings aside it was nice to bond with someone like that.
Should I let him ask him from now on or initiate doing things myself? I’m probably over thinking the whole thing but I don’t want him to think I did spent time with him because I wanted something else from him.
Thanks, H
HParticipantAt the time it was good to do everything you would do in person without the added pressure of having to please someone based on looks, if that makes any sense.
Any ideas on how to initiate a meet up without coming across as desperate as I’ve already told him how i feel? Should I wait a while? Meeting up as friends of course, would like to sustain the friendship
HParticipantHe’s definitely not married ( we have a mutual friend which is how we started talking). When I say family I’m referring to his niece he has to look after.
Thank you!
