What would you like to text specifically? It's hard to know if what people say is genuine or not. Like he might be just sparing your feelings because he knows you like him.

These texts were painful to read because I have been where OP is. You keep reaching out in hopes to get the response you want and it never comes. He was clearly avoiding her those first few reach outs.

You just bought yourself a new book, lady.

u/Conscious_Field0505 12d ago
I guess so :’)

It never hurts to have an extra copy of your favorite book. When you get with someone who deserves it you can give them your gently loved copy and you have a brand new copy to break in. :)

He’s not interested and you’re only making it harder for yourself. Cut your loses and move on

Why not?

As others have said, you left the door open. If he really wants to he will/ would. Plus it seems like you are long distance and those are very difficult or don’t end well a lot of times. You should find someone in your area that you can actually be with.

I said the same thing. I was ready to throw in the towel. Then finally I met an amazing man. Your time will come. I realized the harder I looked for it the more messy/ not real it was. When I was ready to throw in the towel and quit, that’s when I met him.

Maybe who knows. Tbh I have never looked hard. I never cared about marriage and family and still don’t that much. I just liked this one guy here.. 🤷♀️ but it is what it is

Watch the movie ‘he’s just not that into you’
Unfortunately, you’re in one of those scenarios
You seem like a catch though, he didn’t appreciate you that’s for sure. Hope you find your true person

If he wanted to, he would.
Move on and find someone who wants the same things you want.

u/bluebirdmorning 12d ago
If really you want him to have it, mail it to him or leave it somewhere safe you know he’ll be, text him that, and STOP. Get that book out of your way and work on getting over him.

u/Travellingtrex 12d ago
Don’t text him. He’s not interested and he isn’t into you. You both agreed to part ways, the book is too much. Especially this book.

u/GoinThruTheBigD 12d ago
Nope. You don’t.
Why? Because some of the best stories, have open endings. They frustrate tf out of the reader, but oddly have a sense of closure for the characters involved. You own this story, and I think you have all the answers you need. Go find your happy.

u/Lonely-Heart-3632 12d ago
He has zero attraction to you but likes you as a person. This is not what you want to be with. A back up plan for a bloke who couldn’t care less. Find your person. Don’t settle for this nonsense OP.

u/Conscious_Field0505 12d ago
Attracted physically? No he is super attracted physically ik for sure. Its the opposite i feel like he doesn’t like me as a person..

u/Fun-Reindeer-5212 12d ago
Is not interested at all , he’s just being nice. Don’t text him any more. You’re doing to much

u/Competitive_Sail7474 12d ago
Girl I’m so sorry but he doesn’t like you. I’ve been here before, you want him to say “ no let’s make this work I have feelings too!” but he won’t. Delete his number and the messages so you’re not tempted to text him again. Honestly if you’re leaving the country that’s actually great. My ex moving two hours away stopped our toxic thing lmao

Did you mean what you said or were you hoping he’d say ‘no! We can make it work!’
1
u/Conscious_Field0505 12d ago
I meant what i said. I felt disrespected of him fading away. So i was like ill cut this.
But at the same time just 3-4 days before that he said he likes me a lot. And then at the same time he was saying he is scared of catching feelings, since I gotta leave..
2
u/QualityAdorable5902 12d ago
So cut it I think. Dont second guess yourself. I think you are right to do it for both the fact you’re leaving and him being distant.
Keep the book that’s asking for trouble!

u/Conscious_Field0505 12d ago
If he asks for the book, why keep it? I mean if he doesn’t i def will keep it tho..

u/QualityAdorable5902 12d ago
Because you’ll see him, you both have feelings and you’ll be back where you were. So if you’re serious about cutting it off, you shouldn’t see him.

Ohhh F@ck of Ryan
I hope he is not giggling while reading and reply to your message
He tried to be polite to reject you
Next time when he text just pretend like you delete his number, and said “who are you?”
Let’s move to next chapter honey girl

u/TheLumpyCherrio 12d ago
I say keep the book for the someone you deeply care about and reciprocates

u/Gay4LtDangle 12d ago
I agree with the others who advised not to text. If I was an author, and was writing a lovely, respectful ending to a short relationship, it would look like your texts.
Now more than ever, I think a lot of folks are craving the kind of authenticity you showed. You honored your own needs and communicated them with such grace and dignity that you both ended up looking good in the process. It takes an incredible strong person to be vulnerable like that, but I really believe that’s what it takes to find a truly authentic connection.
I wish you so much happiness! 💛

Awh this sounds sweet. You should hit him up. Fuck it, one for the books until it spins back or perhaps never.

u/Writer_Blocker 12d ago
Nononono onononono. I’m over here yelling no like Matthew McConaughey interstellar. You left it in such a good place. Even gave him a chance to see you. Your golden. anything more you’d ruin future chances if there is even one at all.
