Lost in Translation.
Relationship?
Sorry if my question is a little long here, I’m somewhat of a rambler/storyteller.
Only just recently did I finish High School, thank goodness Summer is in full gear now, but as it would seem I am still dwelling on a few things. At our After-Grad I finally managed to sum the courage up and go speak to my crush; who we’ll call “John” for the purpose of this. I’m a shy girl; it took two years to do this. He’s such a sweet caring guy; we ended up talking for hours on end, and even took care of a few drunken teenagers together. The next week, back at school, I was approached by another student who then told me that “John says you two are unofficially dating.”
It never crossed my mind. Sure I had a crush on John, but I never thought he would ACTUALLY feel the same way. Wait, “unofficially”? We did not talk for that week, and it was not until the final week of High School that we finally hung out again.
I was invited to a party, turns out I was also the only chick there out of eight. When one of the other boys would flirt, John would tell them to back off, he stayed at my side (cuddling) for a majority of the night while the others played videogames. When the other boys went outside to hang out, John pulled me over and we kissed for the fist time. Turns out, his stomach got sick an hour later, and me (having only one thing to drink) took care of him when he got sick. He said he did not want me to leave him yet, so I stayed.
The next day I sent him a message, asking about what our “relationship status was.”
No response. Not for weeks. I was beginning to feel a little crushed, or angry, I’m still not sure.
I finally got the reply:
“Well, I don’t want this to get too serious.”
Slightly crushed, I said to him that I did not care if we were in a relationship or not, I was just worried about us no longer being friends.
Shocked, I then received the message: “No, I don’t want you to take it too serious that you could get hurt.”
Did I miss something? I am so lost. What should I do now, what should I even say?
It’s been exactly a week since we last spoke. I’m afraid that things may have gotten awkward again…..
Sorry if I was long winded, or drawn out, or even odd-sounding in any way. I’m just…Lost in Translation?
