Hey,

Last easter I fell for this Guy, someone who I'd normally wouldn't go for yet when we started talking we hit it off. We met at this annual camp and both found we had a mutual love for art. This got us talking together for hours on end. Eventually he told me He liked me (a lot) and I told him I liked him too.

However, After the camp we sort of made a silent agreement not to go out - He lived 400 miles away and neither of us could afford transport - nor had the time. But I still like him - I texted him as any person would, "how are you" "Whats up". Not in a every hour/day way, but like once in a while when I wanted a chat. However no matter what time of the day it was, he wouldn't reply. If he did it would be hours after.

(sorry for the long story) I met him again on this get-together with the people of the camp, but the only contact I had with him was a smile and wave - the rest of the time He didn't approach me and I was to shy to say hi when he was with his friends (who I didn't know). Now I'll probably won't see him again until (and it's a if) I go to the camp next year.

So, what do I do? - I can tell that it seems like he's no longer interested in me, I'm not stupid, but it doesn't feel that way. He kept trying to catch my eye in the camp band rehearsal just before the get-together.

Argh!!!! Any ideas and what do you think?

Hello my friend.

I'm not sure this is what you want to hear, but your best option might be to just move on. Yes, you and him had a spark, but only for a brief time. It was a spark, nothing else, at least for him.

There might have been multiple reasons for him not to reply to your texts, or to barely speak with you, but in the end, it doesn't matter. What matters are that no relationship with him would work, for you only see him once a year, and that too is unsure. Like you said, he lives 400 miles away.

The lack of communication on his part just makes things worse. It might be time to move on. There are other boys out there my friend.

"If I do good, people might accuse me of selfish, ulterior motives, but I will still do it. Because I believe no one is malicious, not in their core, in their raw being.
The best in them is clouded by sorrows and fears, take those away and you'll bring out the brightest of lights in them.
Because no one can be happy without being kind, without giving ourselves to another, and we all love to give ourselves, it is our true nature.
That is why, even if I might get disappointed, I'll always give the best I've got. A single candle can light a thousand others and still burn." - Skezra

I agree with John. Time to move on, sorry. It's proven that the majority of couples who get into a relationship knowing that it'll be long-distance break up within a few weeks of moving to the same town anyway. Hate to be pessimistic but there wouldn't be much point. There's other guys out there who love art & the same things you do. You'll find another eventually. In the meantime, you can still be friends with this guy, but if he makes it awkward, just leave it. He'll probably come to his senses in the end, and if he doesn't, his loss. You don't see him very often anyway. Don't let it get you down. Good luck! [:

thanks, thinking about it it probably is best to move on.

thank you!

Hi Kristi,

Your word is 'Context'.

The feelings and the relationship you have with your friend are very real. But, they're in context of summer camp. Enjoy them there, that's where they bloom.
