[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me do you a favor I wish someone did for me when I was younger: if someone wants to reach out and get in touch or reply to you, they will. It's so easy to do (and easier today than it was when I was younger).

Give it up. This kind of thing does not change. He is not waiting for a sign that he is interested in you after all. He just...doesn't feel the pull. To be social, to respond to messages, to respond to you.

I thought about giving up multiple times and considered not even telling him that I'm leaving my phone behind for a month and not sharing my new phone number. He does sound depressed, and my birthday falls on my trip, and I thought if he reaches out and receives no response for a couple of weeks, he might start worrying. [/quote]

Instead of playing mind games iwth him, how about just not reaching out to him, don't think about him in the meanwhile, and if he writes, writes back when you feel like it, and expect him to write back when he feels like it--no sooner no later. No expectations. [/quote]
The hard part is not to think about him. It would have been easier to stop interacting entirely but he told me so many times how much he appreciates me, and it seems that he does want to stay in touch, just on his own timeline. [/quote]

He wants a casual friendship with you, nothing more.  You're reading way too much into his texts because you've deluded yourself into thinking there is something between you.  There isn't.  If there was he would put in an actual effort.  He wouldn't text you once to see how your trip was and then not follow up again.   That's not what someone who is interested in someone does.   You have 2 choices.  1.  Accept this friendship for how it is, which is infrequent but sincere texts or 2.  End the friendship because it isnt the level you need it to be.    [/quote]
Even in a casual friendship, I wouldn't reach out to someone with a question and then not read the response. I would either not reach out at all or if I cared and did, I would most definitely read how they are. He probably saw a notification regarding my message and figured that I'm alive and this is all that matters 🙂 [/quote]
