Stocking getting Stalked
Two week ago, I went to church a tad early and took my seat not realizing I was seated directly in front of Smitie and Henry. Remember how they're inseparable cousins. A terrible inconvenience if you ask me. Well Smitie leaned forward and whispered my name so he could tell me I look nice which is sweet I guess. Except for the whispering. That’s not necessary. I don’t care for it.
I turned around and before I could say more than a thank you Henry started asking me about my weekend and of course the conversation took a random turn which left the two of us laughing while Smitie watched from the sidelines.
I feel like this interaction made something snap inside Smitie. And while I’m not entirely sure what was going through his head, I imagined the conversation when something like this:
“Blue’s moving on. I could A. Talk to her and then ask her out ooooor B. Interrupt all of her conversations with other people, makes things thoroughly awkward, and then retreat and try again in 10 minutes. Yeah plan B seems pretty solid.”
And that’s exactly what happened and what’s continued to happen for the past two weeks. What's really strange is he never actually talks to me. He just finds a way to be a part of all my interactions. Some of those ways include back rubs...

P.S. I was talking with another girl in my ward and apparently Smitie asked out her roommate for ice cream and said "I would take you to dinner, but I don't know if I like you enough to spend that kind of money."
Who says that. It kills me.

Haha, great plan Smitie. And on your P.S., I hope the girl said no! What a rude thing to say!
How about a guy who texts you every day for a few weeks and you hung out with and then ignores you all of a sudden? Any advice? Is it weird to text him months later and try to repair the friendship?
It’s hard to give good advice when I don’t know all the details, but I will try my best. Honestly, I feel if a guy texts you that often there’s something there so I’m going to assume that was the case. Since he did like you and was trying to get to know you, something must have happened for him to stop. Maybe he started dating something, or he could have thought you weren’t interested, or he decided the two of you weren’t a good fit.
Whatever the situation, if you want to get in contact with this person, I don’t think it’s weird to send a “hey, I haven’t seen you in forever! How are you?” text his way. His response should let you know if there’s a future friendship in sight.
I hope this helps!

Anonymous 1,
She went on the date and apparently the way he asked her out was the highlight of the experience and it just went downhill from there.

Thanks for responding Blue! Funny how things change quickly when I met another guy, and therefore I'm not concerned about the one I asked about. But instead, I met a guy who I clicked with right away, talked to a lot for several days, we cuddled and he held my hand, and then after, he distanced himself and didn't talk to me as much. Did he just want action or is he just a fresh RM afraid of commitment, especially to someone who's graduating and a couple years older? (I don't expect you to know the exact answer but I'm hurt and trying to figure out how to move on and learn from this.)
Dear PS,
First of all, yay for new guys! Ok second, he's probably just trying to figure out how he feels about things. I think we sometimes expect guys to know what they're doing and yet they're just as confused as we are. I would create opportunities to see him, but wait for him to make any big moves.
I hope this helps!
