This will be somewhat lengthy but please I need help.:what:
So at the very of summer vacation I met the perfect guy. (Mark) He's my best guy friend's buddy and I thought he was cute for months. I followed im on IG one day and he texted my friend asking about me and we got introduced. Our mutual friend told me he's never seen Mark so intersted in anyone. We only had about a week to get to know each other but with the right person a week feels like a month. I'm pretty shy and reserved and I tend to be awkward around new people, he's on the shy side too (which I like) but we hit it off and never ran out of a things to say, and he makes me laugh. So basically I fell hard and I never have before. But he had to leave for college (I'm 16 and he's 18). We agreed to stay in touch and leave the door open. "why did it take me so long to find you" is one thing he said that still stands out to me. Making me think he really did like me. He came back for Labor Day weekend and that was the last time I saw him. He's only 2-3 hrs away but he works so his weekends are busy.

We don't talk frequently when he's away, which is fine considering we're not in a relationship. On Saturday night he texted me saying that he was on his way back home. We talked and he wasn't saying that he wanted to hangout. I assumed that he wanted to see me otherwise he wouldn't have told me he's home. So I aaid "well if there's time come say hi" which I thought was cute and casual. He then asked me to come over right then and there (it was past midnight) and offered to walk over and get me (we live in the same neighborhood. But I have strict parents so I declined. He then asked about the next day (sunday) and I told him I'd be free all of three days he's here. He then said goodnight with kiss emoji and texted me the next morning. But again, said nothing about when he wanted to hangout. I left it up to him, I said to let me know what time was best. But absolutely nothing. Eventually he only replied with a "haha" to one of my texts so I stopped replying since I didn't know what else to say. This was Sunday. I figured he'd text me monday or Tuesday then. Nope. Not a word. What could I have possibly done? His car wasnt there last night when I drove by around 6:00 and it was still gone by 10:30 (im not a stalker its on my way through the neighborhood). i miss him and I want to see him. I thought about just asking what's up (the mature thing to do) but I don't want to have to be the one to reach out every time. He'll be back in less than 2 weeks for thanksgiving, I wonder if he'll say anything.
He's probably on his way back to school now, but should I ask him what happened? Will I look desperate? Or should I just ignore him If he tried to talk to me again. And why do you think he suddenly didn't want to see me?

Think I got it all, but it sounds like you both like each other, but neither person is sure of the next step. Know it takes courage but you should call him if you're losing sleep over it. If you can hold out till Thanksgiving, see him in person. I find texting is a horrible way to discuss anything that's serious. While he's not that far away, I think the distance, and the fact that he's with college girls are going to be tough to overcome. Hope I'm giving a balanced perspective, but more than anything try to stay friends. You never what could happen down the road.

Yeah that's why I wouldn't want to actually be in a relationship with him, I would be constantly worrying about what he's doing or the girls he meets. Thanks for you reply, I think I'll wait and see if he even says anything when he's back here for thanksgiving. If not I'll just move on.

Don't overthink things most guys are pretty simple. But with some you have to make the major moves. And also just talk to him and see if you wanna date and maybe you guys can try it out and see if he changes when you guys are a couple.

Yeah he's on the shy side, I don't think he's ever had an actual girlfriend before, which is surprising since he's very cute. But back when we first met he usually iniiated hanging out, I only did one time. And I don't want to actually date him. We've just agreed to leave the door open, meaning when he comes home we spend time together (which is why I'm wondering why he disappeared this weekend). Basically when he's home we act like a couple but there's no title, and we're both free to date other people if we do meet someone. Which neither of us as far as I know. I don't want to be his girlfriend because I would constantly be jealous of all the older girls he'd be with at college. And I'd constantly feel worried.
