Ok so I had this church camp a week ago called KOV and it’s basically a church camp with a lot of competitions. Everyone is out on a team and you have team games and etc. and it’s always the best week of my summer. This year I was a main leader, so I got the chance to be in the main leader dance. Dance practice was every day after camp from 8-10:30 pm. While I was at dance practice, I met this guy who was in the Blueberry team (I was on the tomatoes). I never knew him before but he and I started talking and we got along really well. He was VERY attractive and just the sweetest human being. On Thursday during camp, I had a red ribbon in my hair because I was on the tomatoes team and that was the color. His team and my team were going up against each other in a game at one point and he came up to me and said “give me your ribbon” and I gave it to him cause I didn’t care. He wore that ribbon in his hair the rest of the day. At the end of camp that day, I told him I wanted my ribbon back and he said he’d give it to me that night at dance practice. I told him that it was unfair that he had something of mine and I didn’t have anything of his, so he took a hair band off of his wrist that he had been wearing all week and he put it on my wrist. He then took off a bead bracelet off my wrist that a camper gave me and he started to wear it (even though it was obviously very tight on him). That Thursday (cause camp is Monday-Friday) he and I were like kinda flirting during the dance practice about how I have his hair tie and he has my bracelet and etc (cause he tied the ribbon on his wrist and refused to take of the bead bracelet no matter how tight it was) but like very subtly and we played basketball together during break and it was cute. As dance practice was ending, he came up to me and asked for my snap and I obviously said yes. Then, that night he was snapping me nonstop and kinda flirting with me but not too hard but still a lil noticeable. On Friday once camp ended, there was an after party for the leaders to stay from like 5-8 pm and I originally had to leave by 5:45 to go to the lake but I just couldn’t leave everyone so I decided to call my mom and say nvm. So I ended up staying the night at my friends that night instead. He and I were snapping the whole time and flirting and etc and I had to give the hair band back cause I found out it was his cousin’s, so he had apparently brought a scrunchie of his from home to give to me in place of the hair band. He also told me he wasn’t giving my bracelet back which I didn’t care cause it was cute when he wore it. Over the next 4 ish days he and I would be snapping and flirting hella hard this time and it was great. He told me that someday he would take me fishing, hunting, teach me how to drive a stick, take me to a graffiti walk, make homemade pizzas together, go to fright fest together in October, etc. etc. He and I even FaceTimed from 11:30 pm to 7:30 am the next day. A whole 8 hours straight on FaceTime just talking about anything. Stories and etc. I really liked him so far. But then on that 5th day, he went to work and was like “hey bro im going to work so I won’t text you till late tonight✌🏼” and i was like “okay” which is weird cause he called me bro and just how he said it but I was like oh well it’s prob fine. Then I stayed up until he got gone at 11:30 pm even tho I was tired cause I wanted to talk to him and he said “go to bed” and I told him that I wanted to talk to him and he didn’t respond so I said “I can’t sleep” and he responded with “I can gn” and that one hurt a lot. I just said “gn” cause I had nothing else to say. The next day after that he was just leaving me on open a lot and giving one word responses and only texted me once to say that he was gonna go see black widow in theaters tomorrow so he was excited…but that’s it. I texted him telling him he was acting weird and that I don’t get what happened. He responded by saying that “when we first started talking I was tryna hint to you that I want a relationship with you but I don’t. We won’t last because your going to college in a year and I’ll be heading to Tennessee for flight school and I just have a lot going on. I think you’re a great person but I just don’t want a relationship right now. Idk if you liked me but it seemed like you were wanting a relationship and I just don’t” and that was basically what he said. He’s a year younger than me if that helps you understand better idk. It just sucks cause he led me on so hard and like we donteven need to date idc, I just like him tho. He goes “can we just be friends?” And I was like yes ofc but then he didn’t even act like friends anymore. Friends still talk to each other. He’s just ignoring me completely now. Did he find another girl? Someone who is better? Or prettier? Idk. All Ik is that I loved talking to him and now he won’t even talk to me and it hurts A LOT. Okay that’s really the whole story. Thanks for listening🤍

Hey! I understand how much it must hurt for you but I also get the college pressures he's talking about and the both of you are right on your parts. You seem to get along really well and that's not something that should be just let go of. Try talking to him about how you could not be in a relationship but still at least talk and hangout and harmlessly flirt if it's okay for the both of you. I suppose he does like you and that there is no other girl or anything. I really root for at least something between you guys, please just try talking to him.
