Should I stop trying?
So I’m 20(F) and I’ve been talking to a 22(M) for the last 3–4 months. Everything was going okay until a few days ago when we had an argument because I couldn’t attend his calls since I was at work. After that, there was no message or call between us for almost 24 hours.
The next evening, he called and said he was upset because I wasn’t answering his calls. That annoyed me because he himself disappears for 2–3 days sometimes, and I never react like that. I just didn’t answer for a few hours because I was busy working.
I was already upset because of an Instagram story he posted with a girl. He was holding her waist with a romantic song in the background. At first he said it was an AI picture, but later it turned out she was actually his female friend. So during the argument I told him, “Don’t get angry at me, go talk to your girlfriend instead,” and I cut the call.
After that, I expected him to call back, ask what happened, clear the misunderstanding, or at least try to solve things. But there was nothing. Hours later he only sent one message saying, “Tum aisa bologe toh main kya bolu,” and after that again no call, no message.
All I wanted was a little reassurance and some care.
Whenever he gets upset, I try a thousand times to make things okay, but this time he didn’t even ask me once if I was fine or why I was hurt. That’s what disappointed me the most.
We’re still technically in the talking stage, and I do like him, and I think he likes me too, but now I’m starting to wonder if it’s real feelings or just attachment and timepass for him.
