Feeling stuck and need some advice
Hi there. I need some advice on what to do moving forward with a guy.
I've been talking with this guy for a few weeks now. We went on one date and really hit it off and have been texting occasionally since then. Our text conversations are often flirty and have moved to sexting on a few occasions. But he also seems a bit all over the place because sometimes he won't reply to my texts at all. So I'm a little confused about how he feels and what his intentions are. I'm pretty sure he is interested in me. And I have told him straight-up that I am interested in him.
Right now, I feel stuck. I feel like we are not doing anything to move the relationship forward. I'm frustrated because he'll seem really interested then go without texting me. Another date is difficult due to us living in different cities and winter travel, but not impossible. I don't want things to go stagnant and I'm worried they might be moving that way. I don't want to just give up because no one has ever made me feel the way he does when I'm with him, so I'd like to continue to pursue him in hope that a relationship may blossom. But I also don't want to be putting effort into something that isn't going anywhere.
So, my question is..... do I continue to pursue him? And, if so, what is the best way to move this forward until I am able to see him again (which very well could be a few months)?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hey Apple!
From what you're saying, it seems like the two of you are having some issues communicating effectively. This is often the case in new relationships, especially when the primary mode of communication is texting and you guys don't have the opportunity to see each other that often in person.
It's great that you've been honest and forthcoming about how you feel about him. However, I do believe that relationships are a two way street and can only blossom if that honesty is reciprocated. From my personal experience, the only way to avoid stagnation and identify if a relationship is worth pursuing is to have an open conversation about where you stand currently and what you both want from the relationship.
Ultimately, whether you should continue to pursue him or not is something only you can figure out as you know your situation and self the best. This is just my two cents on the situation :)
Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for the advice! I really appreciate it 😊
