How come whenever you do talk on the phone, it's just you complaining?
Howdy, me again.
So I took most of the advice given to me in the He's Older thread. Things actually worked out REALLY well for a while. Me and the older guy got really close, not only physically but emotionally. We really connected and the week before I left, he came to see me after he got off work one night, we spent the night together one night, he invited me to a party one night at his place where he got REALLY jealous when his friend kept hitting on me. He also told me that night why it took him so long to make a move on me, and that I was one of his favorite people in the world. It was really nice to hear. Then the night before I left, he and I spent almost the whole night together, sober, just cuddling and talking and being with each other. Kind of soaking it up before I had to go.
Anyway, so then I left, and we continued talking as much as normal. But the other night, we both got really drunk, obviously seperately. Texted all night, he called me and we talked for a while. My friend embarassed me, but he didn't seem to upset by it. He told me he wanted to come down sometime this week. Well it turns out, he can't cause he has to work. But ever since that night, he's been distant. He keeps telling me he's super busy. But I just don't know. It doesn't feel right.
Everything was going SO well before I left, and now everything just isn't going well at all. I miss him so much and I tell him that from time to time. I also minorly freaked out when he posted a status on facebook that I thought pertained to me.. but it didn't. He didn't seem too upset about that either, but now it's just ridiculous. We maybe talk once a day for a few minutes. It's mostly me complaining but sometimes its not.
I just need to know if I'm wasting my time, or if he's really just busy and maybe misses me? I don't know. This might just all be in my head. This always happens to me though. I finally get attached and then he's gone..
Please just help me out as best you can! I'm driving myself crazy! Thank you!
How come whenever you do talk on the phone, it's just you complaining?
Mostly cause there is a lot going on here that makes me unhappy. I apologized for it today because I realized how rude I've been. He told me it was fine, but I feel like I'll have to prove it. So I'm going to work on that, just to salvage his opinion of me and our friendship.
But he's the one person I feel like I can trust more than anyone. I feel terrible about it.
Any ideas on how to make it up to him?
i think your just missing him, you know he is busy but you doubt yourself even before he was always busy with work its hard being the new guy at work, i dont think you shouldnt complain but maybe ask him what he would do in ur shoes when your doing the complaining also keep it to a minuim your suppose to be enjoying yourself when your talking to him i suggest getting some privacy when your talking to him, so your attentions on him. hmm on the idea department why dont you setup a trip like meet somewhere inbetween so he doesnt have to drive so much. I know your on a buget or something but have you though about planning a trip together somewhere? say for the weekend.. the other route is take a picture that your comfortable with sending to him in the mail with something sweet on the back if he doesnt have one of you already.

I also think you're probably imagining things that aren't there. Unless he actually tells you that he's upset with you or not happy, try not to assume that. If you're worried, just ask him- you could say something like "Hey, I know you've been really busy with work, but I'm worried that maybe the reason we're not talking very much is because there's something wrong..." and then listen to what he says. If he says everything's fine, then you have to just take him at his word and try to do what you can to make things better- like see if he's less busy on weekends, or like Gutter said plan a little trip for the two of you to have some time together.
I also think it's a possibility that you care about him more than he cares about you. You sound like you're in Serious-Relationship mode while he's maybe in Someone-Who's-Fun-to-Hang-Out-With mode. Which would explain why he's not providing you with a lot of time- he doesn't see why he should, if you guys are just friends.

If you are important to him, then he will find ways to communicate to you.
