View Full Version : So Eh... D'ya think he likes me or what like?

So I was at the Gaeltacht (like an Irish summer camp). I fancied this guy Max and I told my friends. It got around fast, but he fancied one of my best friends, which became a little obvious (and so painful to watch) near the end. On the last day, people swapped numbers, and Max asked me for mine. We wrote our numbers down for each other. I thought he was being polite asking and it might be fake. When we got home, I couldn't read one of his digits so I guessed it. That night, I text him and got no reply. I thought it really was a fake number or else he just really didn't like me.

I missed two Gaeltacht meet-ups, and the one I went to, Max missed. When I was with his mates, the lads pointed out a few times how alike we are. One said we'd be perfect together and are made for each other. Another one asked my closest friend did I still fancy him.

The next week (three weeks since I've last seen him), Max text me "Hi(: (it's Max)." Turns out I'd guessed a digit wrong weeks ago. We text for a few hours until 12:30am - but his friends made it very clear teasing him that he always went to sleep early (10:30). He replied the next day and we text a bit but he stopped. Three days later he text me sorry for not replying sooner, but he's in the UK visiting family. I thought he wouldn't text me then due to costs, but we text for a few hours until 10:30. I stopped and replied the next day. We text throughout the day, but he stopped. He text me two days later (today) saying he's home, and he's sorry for the late reply, but he was out of credit. We text a little. I asked how the holiday was but I felt like he didn't wanna talk (short-ish replies). I asked was he coming to the next meet-up and he said probably so I said I'd probably see him there. We haven't text since.

We mainly talked in detail about our families, school, college courses and common interests. He replies usually within a minute of my texts, but I sometimes felt like I was trying harder to make conversation than he was.

Like, his friends pointed out to me how alike we are, said we're made for each other and asked my closest friend if I liked him. A week later he text me - which continued while he was on holidays, so maybe he likes me. He also tagged me in a picture on FB that he thought I'd like - but then again he tagged four others too? But then I remember he fancied my friend and not me (although that was over a month ago now), and I'm probably just picking out "signs" which mean nothing, so he probably doesn't. What do you guys think?I'm sorry that it's so long! This has actually been edited down a LOT! :L Thanks for reading it even!

EDIT: Teens here don't date first. They kiss and then depending on how much they liked it, they might arrange to do it again (I think it's a bit of a horrible culture), so asking him out would be weird.

Are you from Cork by any chance like? :P :) Judging by the way you speak I figured you must be a local! :P :L

I'd say he just got a bit bored of texting, can happen to anyone, doesn't really mean anything. If the lads are saying that ye're so alike and all that, one of them could put in a good word for you or something. Set ye up maybe.

Also, that's a kind of 'mild' and 'nicer' way of explaining to the foreigners what meeting or shifting is! :P :) See if the lads will set you up with him and then if he likes the meet he might ask you out! If he doesn't ask you out, that doesn't mean he doesn't fancy you. He's probably afraid to do it, I probably would!!! :L Get your friends or his friends to encourage him to ask you out! :)

Good luck lad!!! ;)

Haha, I'm actually from Dublin, but I've always actually wanted live in Cork as it happens!

Yeah, I remember with the girl he fancied at the Gaeltacht a friend said he didn't want to shift her, because he didn't want her to know that he liked her and didn't want to put himself out there like that. The fact that the teachers were there at the disco probably didn't help either - that freaked me out! They were standing on chairs watching everything!

Thank youuu! :)

Hahahaha ya that's definitely not a turn on!!! :L The parish priest used to organise the discos here, because he thought it would be a great place for the young people to 'socialise'.... That was all fine until he went in to it one night... Jaysus, the poor man nearly had a heart attack at the unholiness of it all!!! :L There was never again a disco in Mitchelstown until he died.. of natural causes we presume!!! :L

Haha, ohh the poor man! We had mass and then straight after a disco at the Gaeltacht. I think it was their excuse for getting us to dress respectfully for the disco. :L

So we had the Gaeltacht meetup and when I got there, Max walked from my friends over to his friends. There was only 7 of us. So my best friend Annie and I just gave each other the biggest hug ever and when we started talking his friends all just grabbed him and flung him over to right beside me (but I was watching out of the corner of my eye while talking to and hugging Annie like). So we went to the cinema (saw a half-scary movie), and he almost sat beside me. He was sitting down when his friend called him because he'd saved a seat for him at the other end of the group of us! We text a bit during the movie, but he was really interested in the movie so I told him I'd stop so he could watch it.

Afterwards we talked a tiny little bit. We sat beside each other in Burger King, but it was out of chance and we didn't talk there either. To be honest, I was a bit too intimidated to talk to him!

We were texting today, and he took ages to reply at first, but for the past four hours we've been texting properly like with fast replies. It's like, I'm still not sure if he fancies me? Ahhh! :L

Not exactly sure, but maybe he's not sure what he wants. You could try texting him about meeting and then see how interested he is in you. I would think he would say yes if he does fancy you. If you did get any of his friends numbers, see if they can help you out and pressure him into saying yes. Good luck :)
