We've been texting for 3 months but he still hasn't asked me out, do you think there's a chance?

I’ve been talking to this guy for a while, and I really think we get along well. But it’s been 3 months, and he still hasn’t asked me out or taken any other steps. Is he just playing with me, or am I rushing things? Do you think I should ask him directly, or should I wait a bit longer?

I experienced the same thing once. The kid wrote 2-3 times a week for 6 months, and I felt like everything was going great. But then I learned that there were others he was talking to in parallel. I asked him directly about his intentions, and he said they were just friends. So I think you should ask without dragging it out, or else things get even more confusing.

I think you should just ask directly, there’s no point in dragging it out. You could say something like, ā€˜We’ve been talking a lot, haven’t you thought about meeting up?’ This way, you clarify things comfortably without putting too much pressure on them :joy:

You’ve been chatting here for 3 months straight and it’s been nice. But one can’t help but think, ā€œWe’ve talked so much, why aren’t we making any moves?ā€ Especially when waiting like this, people start to imagine even more in their heads. It’s a tiring situation, I’m sure.

There’s something else going on here. For example, what if he’s more into someone else? Or is it strange that he doesn’t want to meet? I mean, three months isn’t a short time; he should have made a move somehow. You should push a bit more, maybe you’ll learn other details.

If they are someone you trust and are in constant communication with, there could be several reasons why they haven’t proposed a meet-up: They might have an issue like social anxiety or they might be flirting with someone else. Communication is key here. But if you want to know more, you can consult a relationship coach.

Well, did you propose anything during this process? It feels a bit strange to always be waiting for the other side. Maybe the kid is also waiting to see what your reaction will be. There’s no rule that a guy has to propose, after all. :grimacing:

Let me go into a bit more detail: Actually, when we’re messaging, a very warm person always asks about my well-being and makes jokes. But when it comes to meeting, either they don’t bring up the topic at all, or they change the subject. I also get hesitant; why would someone who has been messaging for so long not be able to gather the courage?

Look, to be frank, you are a valuable individual too. How long are you going to tolerate someone who sees it as their right to constantly write to you for 3 months but doesn’t take a step? Here, either the initiative will end or continue, but as long as this uncertainty persists, you are wasting time.

Let’s be honest, let me speak from a guy’s perspective. A guy is either really shy or sees you as a sure thing. Unfortunately, some guys think about other possibilities while keeping someone hanging. But look, it doesn’t always have to be this way; he might be struggling to express himself.
