I just love it in San Diego, it’s always the perfect temperature and there’s so much to do.
My Mom and Dad own a sail boat so it’s wonderful to go out for a good sail and BBQ with family and friends. If you have never been there it is a must!

Getting to the point…my Mom introduced me to this guy that has a boat one slip down from ours and I thought he was pretty cute so I started to hangout with him. He’s in collage to become a doctor, has two jobs, loves kids, and is a surfer…what more could you ask for you say??
Well, when we are alone he plays little games with me like touching my face, tickling, and just over all finding ways to touch me. BUT…when anyone else is around he acts like I’m not there, ignoring me and even turning his back to me.
I cant always be in San Diego because of responsibilities where I live so sometimes its weeks before I can see him again. I’ve always been alone so I came to like his company and grew to care for him A LOT, so when I can’t be there I like to text him which I don’t do more then once a week or less so not to crowd him.
He has never text me without me texting him first, called me or sent me an Email and when I do text him he acts like I’m bothering him and that he wants nothing to do with me. He’s twenty and I’m almost twenty two, so I know he’s young and all that. My question is…why does he act this way, and am I wasting my time?

mmmhh..well it does seem like he may be just interested in a physical sense...versus in a committed relationship.
If he really liked you for more he would at least initiate a conversation..w/ out u having to be the first..
Yes u guys are both still very young, but in my opinion you are wasting your time w/ this guy...sounds to me he is not ready for a committed relationship..and he is prolly really busy going to med school..i know it may not be what you wanted to hear..but I speak from experience here.;)

Hes young and not ready. He's testing the waters when you are alone to see how far you will go. I would kick him to the curb and not waste my time.

Hmm, that sounds familiar. Guy I was seeing just quit calling & responding to my texts when everything seemed to be going well. Whatever. **** them if they don't give you what you need - move on.

Ha ha, your right, that's not what I wanted to hear but I take your advice seriously because I have no experience.
Thank you very much!:heart:

Ouch! We're not all like that. I like to look at it like this... "There are boys... And there are men."

Read the book "He's Just Not That Into You" and it will answer your questions.

I'm in San Diego too. I don't suppose you have an aunt or an older lady friend who's looking? :wink:
