    If he does, then he digs you and is hiding his feelings. UNLESS you have either texted him to much or (if you were in person) you could have been calling his name too much and he got annoyed with it. In that case you should just leave him alone if he has already gotten fed up with you. Let him cool down and he'll want you back again and feel guilty/sorry for being mean to you, trust me on this one! Please!

      Tips

      • If he doesn't want you in his life then he is clearly completely oblivious to how amazing you are! Chin up.
        Thanks
      • If he's mean and says stupid things don't take it to heart he's probably insecure or nervous to show his true feelings!
        Thanks
      • Stay happy and positive and no matter what, don't let this guy bring you down!
        Thanks

      • If he wants you back, he will be relieved when you text or call him and jump at another chance. If he ignores you, doesn’t text you, won’t talk to you, it may mean that he’s hurting, but it could also mean that he doesn’t want you back.
      • A relationship-worthy guy shouldn't make you guess. Let his actions be your guide; he's either in or out.
