Those Dreaded Things Options

[towntown2]

Okay..last night, I sent a voicemail to this guy I've been talking to.
In that voicemail, I told him that I like him and that he doesn't have to be obligated to reciprocate the feelings.
I didn't want to put pressure on him, and so I told him that if he doesn't like me back, then I'd still like to be friends without the awkard stuff.

Now, usually, he calls me daily around this time, 11-ish to noon.
I'm pretty sure he got my voicemail..
I'm theorizing that he hasn't called back because he doesn't want to.

Ugh!
I hate waiting for phone calls like this!
I just feel so bleehh because I'm not used to being the person who's pursuing somebody else. I'm used to being the pursued. This is hard.

The anticpation is really killing you isn't it. I think you should chill out. I have an idea. Tell your mom that you're sick, and the only way you'll get better is with some of grandpa's ole medicine, Black Berry Liquor.

The stuff is absolutely discusting, but it will get you drunk and worry free. I swear by it. Just drink the whole bottle to yourself. The only thing you might ahve to worry about is f**king up when he actually calls. One thing you do not want to do (if you like this guy, which I'm asuming you do) is answer the phone when you're drunk.

Don't worry, I have a solution for this to. Have your father answer the phone. Tell him that you might be pregnant and that the next boy who calls is probably the father. Believe me, your father will take care of it. Dads don't like boys who get their precious little girls pregnant.

Seriously though: Just chill, you sound like the susspense is just getting to you. Just find somehting that will occupy your brain until he does call. Hell, try to bring yourself to a mentality where you don't expect him to call at all. That way you won't be disapointed if he doesn't (well, at least you won't be as dissapointed), and if he does call you will appriciate him even more because you fell like he didn't have to in the first place.

Bottom line, just chill for a while. Try to stop stressing out.

Yup.

You took the first step in revealing your feelings, and that is the most you can do... for now. :] Just wait it out, and try not to think about it (as hard as that may be).

why did you tell this guy that you like him over his VOICEMAIL????? duh now he thinks he has time to think or to avoid you forever now...and you know that you want to be with him, you know it! gah! always always ALWAYS tell someone something important in person, or if you must, on the phone, but in person nonetheless. oi, good luck here. just wait it out and of course you don't want to appear pushy, but if he doesn't call by a week, just call him and ask what's up and casually bring up your message.

Oh well, all you can do now is sit back and relax. Do something fun to keep yourself busy. Go dancing.

that is the lamest thing i ever heard, i would definitely reject someone that did something like that to me....it tells me that it isnt important enough to tell me in person

I couldn't bring myself to tell him in person or over the phone.
I would've thrown up from nervousness.
Whatever, he probably won't call back, and I know, I know, it's my fault.
Maybe I f**ked it up.

Don't blame and bash yourself and sit in agony. You didn't f**k anything up; if he doesn't like you, he doesn't. The heart chooses it's own path. [/corniness] Seriously, though, you took a big leap of faith, and although it didn't turn out the way you liked it, there are plenty of fish in the sea. [/cliche]

Or maybe he hasn't checked his voicemail. I usually don't check for about a week and by then it's pointless. My phone is late to tell me I have voicemail.

That or he likes you back and is scared because he has butterflies?

Do you know if he regularly checks his voicemail? Almost everyone that I talk to routinely don't listen to their voicemails.

^ None taken.
I've learned my lesson now.
He returned the call yesterday. He said he just wants to be friends, and things haven't been awkward.
