Yes Or No?

Dear Reply Guy:

I have a crush on a dude from college. I think he likes me too, but I'd like your advice!

I email him once in a while but he never writes back... does this mean I'm annoying him and should quit writing? So because he doesn't reply I have started to think he' just not that into me, but...

He hugged me last time I saw him, and said he was looking forward to next fall when we'd see each other again at school.

Does it sound like this dude is into me, or should I just give it up? Tell me what I should do to not be annoying.

thanks!

:) tina

Dear Tina,

Don’t take his lack of response via email as a serious indication that he is not “into” you. As I am already sure you know, life can sometimes get very hectic, and there is a distinct possibility that he has just been very busy and has not found the time to write you back. With that said, hopefully you are not emailing him a 100 times a day pouring out your heart and soul. That could very well turn him off to the idea of corresponding with you.

Since I have faith in you that you are acting less like a stalker and more like a civilized lady, the next step should be to ask your “friend” if he would like to go hang out and see a movie or take a hike when you two meet back at school. Get this person to commit to an outing (notice I did not say date) and you should have a much clearer picture of his feelings for you.

Is this a case where he only thinks of you as a friend? It very well could be, but it could also be a case where this guy is “into” you but wants to take it slow and make sure there is a real connection before he openly displays his affection for you.

Good luck and make sure to keep The Reply Guy updated on your progress!
