I just want to share a recent story that I feel could offer a new perspective on the traditional "he's just not that into you" advice.
I've (28F) been seeing this guy (28M) for about a month. We had incredible chemistry from the get go, but after a few weeks, he stopped initiating contact. So you can imagine what my brain started doing then... He would still reply to me and we even went to a park together, but things felt slightly different. He also mentioned being depressed, but I didn't really associate those situations.
A week goes by and same damn thing. This would usually be my signal to bounce, but I like the guy so I decided to try something new. I brought up how I felt about the situation. That opened up a whole dialogue in which he shared that he was feeling down and uninterested in his life, and in which he acknowledged how I felt and said he would do better to communicate when he was feeling that way. This even culminated into potential relationship talk.
I have to admit this surprised me, but I want to share this with you in hopes that it inspires people to express how they feel and what they need before writing off someone!
