[HelloWorld18]

So last Wednesday my friend invited me to go to the lake with him and his family (who I'm pretty close with), during that trip, we met these two girls. Who both said I was very girly, which makes me worry my friend is now embarrassed of me. But anyways, the day before that trip, (Tuesday) my friend was talking with our mutual friend trying to convince her to go ice skating with his girlfriend and his girlfriends friend, she didn't want to cause she doesn't like his girlfriend, and casually he said "You don't want to go ice skating with me and HelloWorld18 and my girlfriend and her friend next SATURDAY (which has already passed)?" And she said no. By the way, I never knew he invited me, that was the first time I heard. But fast forwarding to Sunday night, Sunday night is when we returned back home. It went pretty good, the car ride was good (6 hr car ride) and then when we returned to our separate homes, we continued texting, but just a bit. Then 5 days later I text him "Heywhats up?" He didn't read it till 7 hours later, (which was at 1 am) and he didn't respond. Then today I text him with a random question, then I asked him "How's life been" and now he hasn't responded or seen the text yet (iPod and iPhone, so I use iMessages).

This trip wasn't like the other one I took with him, because we did a lot more stuff this time cause we met those two girls and their family, their family invited us to go on their speed boat, so we did that most of the time. I acted a bit different, and maybe even depresses cause one of the girls thought I was a stalker cause I asked her for her Facebook, while both of them thought I was too girly and feminine. Now I'm worrying my friend doesn't like me or he is now embarrassed of me.

So what I wanna know is some advice.

Also, do you think my friend just said randomly that I was going ice skating to convince he to go with him or do you think he wasn't thinking when he was talking and just forgot? I'm worried about two different things, he's too embarrassed to hangout with me anymore/doesn't want to hangout with me cause of that trip OR I won't be invited to go on any other trip with them to the lake and their boat.

helloworld, I guess I have no advice for you. Dating/friends and such are complicated. Maybe he has a rational reason for his behavior--IDK. Don't be too judgemental about yourself. Sometimes our relationships are up and down and they confuse us...really think things through, maybe talk with another friend and then go with your gut instict. I know I'm not much help but its all I got right now.....hope you sort this out.....D.

I feel this way almost all the time. I don't know your friend, but maybe he's just going through stuff or is just not ready to talk in general, there's a lot of people that take a while to text back for various reasons that have nothing to do with their relationship with you. I'm sure it's fine, just try to relax a little for now.
