So school just started after Christmas break. Earlier this week, the weekend before school started, I texted him, trying to get his attention about something important (I'm only obnoxious when it comes to something important... one, I wanted to ask if he wanted to hang out, two, I wanted to ask if he ccould start driving me home from school.) he didn't reply, and I kinda needed his answer the day after, so I texted him again, and even called him, but still no answer. I didn't hear from him that night or the next day.

The day after that at school I was lucky enough to run into him. We talked, and I asked what that was all about. Apparently he forgot his phone in his car... plus he's had a lot of family over for the holidays and he just needed some alone time. I understood, but still asked him if he could start driving me, and he said it should be no big deal. The reason I wanted to have him start driving me is not only do I not want my mom coming to get me everyday, but I actually just want to see him for a little while... but I didn't tell him that.

So, school ends, I wait for him by the door.... nothing. I didn't see him. Apparently he went straight to his car and pulled it up, ready for me to jump in and go. And for some stupid reason, I forgot to mention it to him... I just get giddy when I'm with him. So I decided that I'd ask him the next day.

Then today, I waited again, and I assumed, again, that he did the same thing as yesterday. So I went out there and waited. And waited. And waited. Finally, ten minutes after school ended, I texted him, asking where he was. He called me, saying that he didn't realize that he was picking me up. I explained to him that I had asked him everyday, and I guess we just had a miscommunication. He offered to come pick me up, but I refused and got off the phone as quick as I could. I was upset... really upset.

So I guess all I have to ask is what should I do? I'm planning on talking to him tomorrow about it, but all this seems kinda weird to me. I'm not really sure what to say to him, how I can react.. I guess I generally need advice on the whole situation. I apologize for the lengthy post, it's been a loooong day. Thanks

It sounds like an honest mistake to me. Did you actually say anything about it being an every day thing, or did you just try to imply it? A lot of guys don't pick up on things being implied. I can see how he would've thought you just meant that day, it doesn't sound like he meant to just ditch you.

Sure sounds like he actually thought you were just talking about that one day. There's no reason to get mad at him for it. I mean it was probably just a mistake. And all humans make mistakes every once and a while. He even offered to come back and pick you up. When you talk to him, just make sure that everything is clear and understood between you two and tell him that you aren't upset. And then everything should be fine.
