If he's not just processing then he's not interested anymore.
Posted by celticlioness
very simple, and I'm sure most of the men will disagree with me, but when a female is the one asking the man it immediately sets their interest level to zero no matter how interested they were in the first place. Men like to take the lead and while they may be flattered by a forthcoming lady doing the asking it will merely be a temporary ego boost and the result is they won't be interested anymore.

none of my friends would believe this..they all think...he's just playing hard to get or giving me as good as i gave him and making me wait
the reason why they wouldn't think he's just not interested in me anymore is because they know absolutely everything..what he's said to me in the last couple of years how he behaves towards me..and that theres no he could have moved on
some of them even think he's in love with me :O..
i dont know whether i agree or disagree with that but what i can say is that i cannot believe he would just not be interested..especially as we still continue to talk...he still calls me!!! he still talks to me the same everytime we talk..as if nothing has changed in the way he feels!
Fair enough. I'm only a dude. Far be it from me or other dudes to tell you how a dude would likely see things in such a situation. *shrugclick to expand

IMO he's come to realize you're OK with being chased and the only girl he really wants .. your ego is on cloud 9, you enjoy the chase too much to want to be caught .. now he's gonna mess with your mind and it's already working

i'm just saying that i know him. and i know what he has said to me in the past. so i know that what he feels isn't a high school crush that you get over in one day..
this dude has liked me for years now.. i don't know about you but would you get over a girl you have liked for years and years in the matter of days or weeks?

I wouldn't have answered the sms either... as it would seem here you didn't show enough interest before... if any. I would be questioning your motives... the 'why' beneath the message. I might even think that you sent me the sms by mistake !
Anyway... you say this has been going on for years ? You are not playing the hard-to-get game very well I think... if that is what you were REALLY doing. Just like dogs chasing cars... men get tired... you should have slowed down when you saw him falling behind. That was 100 miles ago... and you are scratching your head wondering where he went ? The other cars weren't his type... that was probably true... but a lot of other cars could have driven by while you were away... willing to brake from time to time. It is going to be very difficult for you to get his attention now... not hopeless... but difficult. Decide what you want.

that is all
If you knew him so well you wouldnt be asking why he isnt responding. You dont know him because you shut doewn every chance for this dude to get to know you and now since you finally decided to come around he should be ready willing and able? Honestly maybe you shouldnt rule out that he is over his crush on you afterall its only a crush.click to expand

Bingo...or like I originally said processing. Deciding whether or not you're "settling" or setting him up to flake out. Male thought process

omg really?? you think he might think that he's like a last option or something for me and thats why i'v decided to see him after ages? :O i never even thought of that
or that he thinks that he'll agree to it but then i'll ignore him or change my mind after he does? :O
didnt think of that eitherr
so what do i do nowclick to expand

He might be hurt or maybe his ego is. Also I'd been questioning the sincerity in your sudden interest.

YEESSS... I think you've got it now ! Best not to worry about it... just wait. Any further attempt on YOUR part will make you seem needy... which is something that you DON'T want. Sounds like you will probably run into him eventually... just forget you ever asked him the question... it never happened.click to expand

You sent him like ONE text? Maybe he didn't receive it.
Posted by FishyPisces
I don't blame him for not answering TBH.
Put yourself in his shoes, would you respond to a text from someone that has been rejecting you& keeping you at a distance? Don't think so. He might have (had) feelings for you but the man has an ego, and frankly you're not the only girl in the world.. If he might respond back, don't lead the guy on and be straight forward about your intentions.

does she even desire to build anything with him ?
he's too clear about his intentions, too interested, too available
I think she's just worried her devoted ego stroker may start chasing someone else

i guess soo, but i would still say rejection is a strong word, if you knew about the other guys i'v met that liked me and who i literally hate or am repulsed by (its the truth) and the way i have treated them i would say is a definite rejection.
i'd say NO and i'm not interested.
i didn;t do that with this guy because he's above the others in a way.
however if it seems to be that way, i shall bear in mind about what you said in the last line about being more straight forward with him
I actually do believe you didn't intend to turn him down completely, however to most people being hesitant over and over again is pretty much equal to rejection. That's the thing with some virgo's, they keep the people that are interestedin them guessing from a distance as they analyze the whole situation. And sometimes when you guys finally made up your minds, its too late. Not always though. Thats why I mentioned being straight forward, as a cap he will understand that you want

OK
maybe he gets off the fact you don't appear interested in having him .. he's not getting the praise he believes he's entitled to get from any female and this could explain his persistence .. getting you to obsess over him would be achieving sthg that appeared unrealistic at first .. just in for the challenge
maybe he's a mindfuck in a nice guy suit

Earth sign love is so foreign to me.
My Cap guy friend is always talking about how all these women want him... but he has a hard on for this Virgal that keeps him hanging. It's been going on for years. He's even dated one of her friends.. she acted all cool about it.. then stopped talking to both of them.
Then he dumps the friend and Virgal chased him... only to back off again. He sleeps around a lot but keeps it all on the "low".
I don't get it. *shrugs*
Posted by Impulsv
I agree with shell shocker I don't get why people like to torture themselves. Live for the unrequited love or chase. Ughh is that typical of earth signs?

* women, and how pretty/sexy/hot/ they are and how much they like him/love him, and how much they're all over him and want to do things with him, and how he gets tempted but then stops himself for some reason lol...he'll always say he stops himself from doing anything with any of them..and you know what once he even counted down the amount of "casual" offers he's has from women for you know what..and told me about how many of them he turned down like WHAT THE HELL
and he'll bring that in to every conversation we have lol!!!!
whats that all about— because yes that really shows me how much he's in to me when he does thaT! *rollsss yes*
Because he doesn't get why you are not into him? He seems to be trying to prove to you that you are missing out on the deal of a life time by turning him down.
"because yes that really shows me how much he's in to me when he does thaT! *rollsss yes*" --- well, doesn't that look like he is reserving himself for ONLY you?click to expand

In days of old 😄 men pursued women passionately ~ the woman allowed herself to be chased. I would never chase any man, whether i am in a relationship with him or not. I would treat him with respect and kindness...but chase.....never!!
Ladies, let them do the work!

where have you been all this time??lol
i AGREE WITH YOU a hundred per cent, i just haven't had a single word of support to back me up, instead people think i'm rude and i'm leading him on and i should make more effort.
exactly what you described is how i've been for the most part of our friendship..and i totally think it should be the guy chasing the woman!!!!!!!!!
and if it is ever the other way around it is just wrong...
honestly you're the only one to back me up here
this is why i sent him one message and left it

No, you have let him chase you, do all the work etc. for 2 years (even though you have since cut it down to 8 months), he has chased you and you have not allowed yourself to be caught, at some stage any man will just give up - and long before now, this guy had a lot of staying power. No-one is backing you up or not backing you up, you have merely been told umpteen times that he is giving up this long drawn out chase due to lack of reciprocation. Now becuase of this you have texted him and you're now you're wondering why he isn't responding - stop for just one second and think about it from his point of view, not your ego.click to expand

if you were blessed down there, he'll be willing to forget how hard he worked to deserve it

This guy friend of mine ...who i assumed has liked me for a long time now.. did ask me out quite a few times in the last year or so... we've met up in a group before..but it wasn't long before he asked to see just me and chill out in only my company..anyway..i shouldn't even admit to this..but i didn't react perhaps how he would want... i didn't exactly say no but i wasn't particularly enthusiastic either....that was mostly because it was a really busy time in my life i didn't have time to think about going out with him..
he did make it clear he wanted a relationship...
so anyway..he did eventually stop asking to see me..fair enough i guess..i'd say he stopped asking now about a few months ago...
now... a few months later...a lot of my close friends just said to me that i should just hang out with him as a mate..or see what happens..and that nothing serious has to happen now..i guess they thought he must have liked me a lot because he's still around after all this time and has actually had different girls/women after him but he kept on continuously telling me hes not interested in any of them..they're not his type ..etc etc..
therefore what i did a day ago now is... message him saying.."hi whats up?.. i was just thinking recently..that we could chill out sometime and do something.."..but he hasn't replied or called or anything..and usually he doesn't take this long to respond to something i've said..
so i don't know why he's not... has he lost interest now all of a sudden..(after a couple of years)..
is he just confused and shocked (because this is not like my usual aloof and distant self)..this is the most forward i've ever been... or what...
my guess would have been that he would have been happy that i've finally given him something positive back..but instead...i get nothing..
