I love someone, but I always start the messages. Is that normal?

It’s been a month, and we’ve been constantly messaging, but I’ve noticed that I’m always the one who initiates the conversation. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but honestly, it’s starting to bother me. If he/she really cares, I feel like they should put in some effort as well. Do you think I should mention this, or should I pull away and think about someone else? Is there anyone else who has experienced the same thing?

What kind of logic is this? It’s strange that you feel uncomfortable just because you always write. Someone who isn’t interested wouldn’t respond even if you wrote. Maybe they’re just shy? It seems unfair to make a judgement about it without talking directly.

Let me be clear, if she were my daughter, I would say to her to leave while it’s still early. If there’s effort, there can be a relationship. If you’re doing all the work from the very beginning, you’ll end up struggling later. I’ve experienced this, that’s why I’m saying it.

Haha, I had the same thing! I had worried that I was always the one writing. But one day, I didn’t write and thought I’d see what they would do. I looked, and the next day they wrote, ‘where are you?’ Why not give it a try?

I think you’re exaggerating a bit too. Are you counting how many times you write constantly? Just because two people are chatting doesn’t mean everything has to be equal. Maybe they’re showing their interest in a different way; what’s with jumping straight to someone else? :roll_eyes:

In situations like this, if there’s something that’s bothering you clearly, you need to share your feelings directly. You might say something like, ‘I’m always the one who initiates, and I feel bad while you’re happy like this.’ But it may also be a matter of structure; it might not be very accurate to explain it solely with carelessness.

Let me add this as well, I hadn’t written for a few days. During those days, he didn’t write at all. That’s why it’s been bothering me a bit. My friends say, ‘If you don’t write, you don’t write, forget about it,’ but I’m very thoughtful. I thought maybe I should give it another chance.

But what do you want? Does the guy have to write according to your rules? Maybe if you didn’t think so obsessively, everything would be easier. Is someone supposed to keep a constant watch on WhatsApp just because they love you? :melting_face:
