Found this guy online and I've been crushing on him for a while. weird thing is he has a lot of follower and inly follows a little bit of people, and he happened to follow me back.
I finally found the perfect moment and took the chance and i messaged him. within minures he responded to me! we chatted for a a couple of days about things like hikes etc, and the conversation lasted until he just stop responding in the vening. I am not sure if he forgot to reply because he wasnt rude at all in his other message, i don't really know. anyways i upload videos on my story and despite the fact the he didn't reply to my last message he watches my stuff still (the recent ones which is odd) and likes me pics. its been two days since we talked.Β
buta part of me is trying to now give him my number. I am really nervous just to send him the message and say hey i think you are attractive here is my number, maybe we can grab a drink sometime.
what do i do? I'm really nervousΒ

I wouldn't worry about how many followers he has.Β You're a great person, I'm sure and bring something special to the table - so his followers don't matter.
He enjoys speaking to you. That's evident based on speaking to him for days. Lets go with "he forgot to reply" He that feels good. Plus, I"m sure he finds you interesting because he watches your stuff and pictures.Β So,Β lets walk away from this and think that he enjoys you and thinks you're great.
So,Β if a guy thinks you're interesting and great why wouldn't he want your number?Β Β He'd would love to grab a drink with you - It'll be fun. So,Β push all of the ????, doubts and nerves out of your mind and go for it!!!

Does asking him out feel like the next natural step?
A lot of LoA advice makes it seem like we shouldn't take action if we feel nervous, but when you think about it, it doesn't make sense. I'm sure many soldiers, firefighters, cops, surgeons, even the student giving a class presentation, were all nervous but their action ended up doing good.
So if this feels right in your gut, then just let yourself feel the fear and do it.

Being nervous is a sign of lack of confidence. It makes perfect sense to boost yourself before throwing yourself out there.
Any surgeon nervous about an operation needs to call in a Co worker that isnt

Good news. I went in positively and gave him my number.
And we've been texting since.
Yesterday were were supposed to hang out. I was so excited and looking forward to finally meeting him as we've been hitting it off pretty well and have texted non stop.
I texted him an hour before we were meeting up to tell him I was ready then he tells me he was no longer sure what time he would be off work as there was an event.
I responded calmly but I was pretty upset. I told him I wish he told me earlier in the day because I had to accommodate my schedule to see him.
He said he was really sorry and not to hate him and that he owes me.
Im upset because he canceled last minute and it was me who had to get that info from him an hour before.Β
I haven't responded to his very last text because I didn't want to feed this bad energy and just responded as calmly as possible. It's been almost a day but don't know what to do. I am not trying to do anything stupid and a part of me feels like it's now on him.
Any advice would help.

I finally messaged him after I was able to relax the following day. After our plans had fallen through, he's started to act really weird. He jokes around but it's now to the point where it's not even funny or cute, it's just really weird and kinda rude. I do think he;s trying to be funny as I know he has a very weird sense of humor, so I am not too worried about it. Anyways, I asked him if he was free Monday night for our reschedule and instead starts joking around again and never answers the question, then he suddenly stops responding. What I find weird is later that night, I saw that he was watching my posts. So I don't know what his deal is. Yesterday after a day of silence (the day I had asked if he was free to hang out that night for our reschedule) he texted me something really stupid that made no sense so I didn't even bother replying. I sort've did what he did to me, which I know is wrong but at the same time, I didn't see the point in even responding to the message and left it at that. I don't know what his deal is.
I know I am going to get the whole, you create your reality and you caused this. In a way, I did receive that weird text yesterday. After he ghosted me I was like he'll text me eventually and i strongly believed he would and I let it go, and low and behold, I did receive a text, and sooner than I expected. Not what I wanted, but a text nonetheless.Β
What should I do moving forward, I like him but he's really confusing lol
