ok, so I told him how I felt & got no response but his brother says he really likes me........?

I have posted a couple questions about this guy I am seeing. I told him recently how I felt in a letter since I never get a chance to talk to him in person (yes, I should have done it on the phone but I am a chicken sh*t). So he continues to text me but never mentioned anything. Most people said he was probably not interested in me that way ( I have 4 kids and live 90 min. away).

So I get a call from his brother last night who is a good friend and as we are talking, he tells me that he told him he really liked me...alot. I am beginning to feel like I am back in school! I could tell he wasn't just telling me to be nice but I am baffled.

If the man is interested, why in the hell is he acting like it's nothing? I was pretty much decided I was done playing games...and I have made several attempts to talk to him about it & I am done chasing him. Does this really change anything?

He text the other night and I didn't respond...I felt like he needs to grow a pair and man up....

I realize I was immature myself in my own actions so I am not trying to put all the blame on him but at this point, I am reluctant to call him and try, yet again, to talk to him about it.

I can see why texting is easier since you can edit what you say and have time to think about your response - I am just sick of always being the one trying to find out what the hell is going on...and yes, he is emotionally immature.

I am thinking that since I have made so many efforts at conversation, I am just going to sit back and see if it means enough to him to make an effort. Not trying to be passive-agressive, just sick of the game.....

I don't blame you one bit. It is hard to be in your position because despite all your attempts, he doesn't come to the table. There is only so much you can do, and you are doing it. So the situation as it stands is not for a lack of effort...

I think the barometer that I tend to use is to ask myself if this type of (characteristic, quality, habit, etc) is the type I am looking for and how far could a relationship go with this person. Yes, this does sound a bit like High School when a friend of a friend of a friend is asking .... blah blah blah... Almost sounds like you need to corner him face to face to get a straight answer.

I guess he feels more comfortable in a texting kind of world.
It sounds crazy that he prefers that over a real conversation and for him not to respond to your letter may indicate he is not emotionally mature.
And if you're wanting to take this relationship to the next level, then it's time you set the bar level and if he doesn't meet those standards, then find someone that can.

You need to call him on the phone so that you have no doubt that he knows what is up. Lay it all out for him and what is the worst thing he can say? He isnt interested? Then at least you can go forward and not backward.

if he needs an interpreter you need to find a real man
