Sorry that this is so long - I did not plan for it to be so copious - but please do get through it and explain this situation.
What I am about to describe is probably a very generic situation, but I am yet unlearned in the ways of love or, to be politically correct, the ways of "like." Please do read and clarify my doubts and questions and confusion.
Basically, I got to know this guy. We started talking and we continued talking... a lot. Since the beginning, I had harbored a crush on him which merely grew - rather than diminished - with the passage of time. I never told him of this and we continued being very good + close friends. I was also not overt about it - I am expert at hiding my feelings - hence, there is absolutely no way that he could surmise that I like(d) him.
To put it simply, in the past week or so, he hasn't responded to any of my texts - well, that's not entirely true. Allow me to explain.
At the beginning of last week, I texted him a fun, conversation-starter type of text message. No response. I'm a logical person, not prone to overreacting so I figured that either his phone stopped working, or he was out of minutes or he had fallen asleep.
The next day, he texted me during school about something that related to school - this proved that phone did work and that he was not out of minutes. Had he possibly fallen asleep? I don't know, but I didn't think too much about it. Anyway, that texting "conversation" in school lasted for a mere two texts, and I was the last to text - but I was fine with it because we shared a class later in the day.
Later that day, I again texted him. Again, no response.
I did this for the next two days... with the same result. No response.
Now, I'm not the type of girl to overreact, but I'm still cracking my head over this. I don't easily appreciate, let alone truly like, a guy; to be honest, for this to happen feels like a betrayal of sorts.
The most confusing thing? Throughout this entire time, he's been completely normal in school with me. We talk, we laugh together, etc. I know for a fact that he can indeed text and that he can respond to texts as well. I gave up trying to understand and I just felt uneasy the entire time with him - I know that he is not a pretentious guy because he's not that type, but this is just puzzling.
Why ignore my texts, if he even IS ignoring my texts? And if he IS ignoring my texts, then why does he continue to talk to me in school?
I don't know what to do. I've decided to ignore him myself. I mean, if he's not responding to my texts nor showing any initiative, then clearly he doesn't want to talk to me. I'm not going to be some sort of dog and go after him, regardless. I'd much rather keep my sense about me than do that. However, I do not ignore him completely; to be precise, I exercise disinterest during a conversation of which he takes part.
However, I feel that is quite immature of me... Has anyone else gone through this? If so, please do help! May I reiterate, my questions are: 'Why ignore my texts, if he even IS ignoring my texts? And if he IS ignoring my texts, then why does he continue to talk to me in school?'
