A guy had recently tried to befriend me but I kept avoiding and ignoring him because I doubt his motives for doing so until it was too late when I realized that he was sincere in befriending me.

Again, I'm lonely and I regret losing the would-have-been a good and lasting friendship. The Painful Consequence of Doubt

Is there a way you can try to contact this guy and make amends? I'm sorry you are feeling lonely.

I can contact him anytime but communicating with him anyhow may be awkward. We still smile at each other when we meet anyway.

I just regret being stupid. {{{{sigh}}}}

I can understand that piggy....but you are only human. We all make mistakes, but what sets each of us apart is how we recover from.

It may be awkward the first time you have communication, but it will get better after. One of my motto's is "Prepare for the worst and hope for the best!" 99% of the time, the worst doesn't happen....heck you might even be pleasantly surprised The Painful Consequence of Doubt

Go for it. You have nothing to lose. Your both probably nervous and shy. Someone has to start.

just last Tuesday he sent me an empty text message. Probably this is his way of reminding me that he still exists. I have already responded with four messages but he hasn't replied yet.

He's probably mad at me.

What makes you think he's mad at you? He smiles at you when he sees you and he messaged you. To me that sounds like he's afraid of getting rejected again. Stop responding to him for now. Once would have been enough. He may be confused. First it's "Go away! Go away!" and not it's "Come here! Come here!"

Take it easy with yourself and with him. Good luck.

I feel that he's just hiding that he's mad at me. I'm really puzzled by his behavior. I want to forget him already but an echoing "what if?" question makes me wait.

"Feelings aren't facts," Piggysmile. Maybe you need to approach him in person.

I have already begun to take my mistake lightly but my feelings get more attached to the past as I appreciate him more. I still regret that I had let my fear of being fooled get between us. Some people considered as homosexuals just naturally doubt guys approaching them so nicely.

September, I'll meet him personally once school's back.

Hi,

I saw this quotation and I think you may like it:

If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties.

Sir Francis Bacon (1561 - 1626)

So while the process is painful, the consequences is certainty!

Best of luck!

Abundance

I began doubtful and now I am certainly lonely. I hope to get over this disgusting loneliness soon.

My doubts have started to turn into certainties after a couple of months. I saw him yesterday and he didn't seem angry at all. I was just thinking nonsense. He even patted my shoulder.

I want to spend more time with him this semester even though both of us will be definitely busy. I just don't know how I can show him that he is important to me.
