is it a waste of time waiting for someone to start the conversation? (UPDATE)
 

I feel it would be just as valuable to post this here as it is asking my friends because of the gay demographic here lol, buuuutt:

I've never actually met this guy but seen him around a lot and liked the look of him, we were messaging for like 2 days and he was responding very quickly and generally giving very full replies but we never talked about anything serious. I broke the convo off, in a hope of leaving him wanting more haha, and i'm now just waiting for him to start a convo.

Is this futile?

I would go for it. I mean, what's the worst that could happen??

Marc isn't gay is he?! :omgno:

No, I do appreciate your advice regardless of your sexual orientation lol.
In all seriousness, the worst that can happen is painful awkwardness when I see him around all the time in the case of rejection, considering he lives in the next block :(

Nn he's probably thinking the same thing

lmaoo no i'm not lol. Yeah, I understand that but even if that does happen it'll only last a couple of days probably. You'll end up regretting it if you just don't do anything :laugh:

Well it could turn sexual and a few pictures get sent, nothing too graphic but after both of them deciding its too much effort and you dont have much in common you hear he's shown somebody your classy pics

It all decends into chaos and the pictures get spread around and you aquire the nickname 'slaggy ____'

It follows you for ages and after not seeing him for a while you randomly run into him and realize hes ugly and puberty really **** in his cereal bowl and he's now greasy, has the starting of a comb over and really crap tattoos directly tattod on him from google images and you now realize you're way better looking and much more fun than him.

Jesus Christ.

Ain't nobody callin' me slaggy Tom

Look what you've caused Marc

but I'm sorry for waht u went through

Mess. Tom forget what I said!

nah we save that nickname for T*

True, but if he was interested why wouldn't he message if I already have done haha

:laugh:

He's playing it cool. Boys are so obvious he wants you to make the next move.

It was my turn to play it cool lol. I'll give it another go when it's been like 5 days i guess

Suck him off.

They Bite

No i don't

I see you read my autobiography.

If you don't make an effort then there will always be a 'what could've been' feeling you'll never 100% get over.

Maybe he doesn't like playing games? Instead of making him want more, breaking off your convo's with him may have made him feel you just weren't interested.

..it could be that he's very awkward and shy himself, Tom and he needed you to lead the conversation but was actually really loving texting with you and getting to know you ...some people are just not comfortable conversationalists and not ones to initiate themselves so when you stopped..?../then it just all stopped but not necessarily any indication that he doesn't want to chat to you either...if you like him, t-t-t-t-take a chance/Abba...the worst that can happen in life is regret...everything else is just an experience and something taken from that experience...x....

Oh Amy... I laughed but I feel ya... if this post wasn't so long, I would make it my signature...I swear :hehe:

If it looks like the feeling is mutual, so go ahead and start the conversation. Do what you feel, not what is "right". This is not Survivor, strategies are not a compulsory.
