So, I’m 18 and I know that’s young to be looking for a committed relationship, but I’ve just wanted a guy to notice me. The ones who notice me are only interested in what they can get and I keep seeing my peers having boyfriends stay with them for years. This has been happening for so long that I don’t believe any guy could be interested in me ever.

I recently matched with guy on tinder (yes I know this is mainly a hook-up app) but he seemed really nice and totally interested in me (he just asked such mundane questions it felt so nice and normal). We talked for a week straight on tinder then we started snapchatting each other. He was a perfect gentleman (we also have mutual connections so I think this gave us a wider range of topics to talk about), but all of a sudden he just seemed to lose interest.

We stopped talking for nearly two weeks so I decided to send to send a light-hearted, general snapchat, but he just shut down the conversation. I just assumed he might have been busy or wasn’t in the mood to talk, so a few weeks later I tried again but the same thing happened.

My friends know him and said he’s a lovely guy and I should keep pushing, but I don’t want to annoy him. I dunno whether I’m just over analysing the situation or whether he’s just not into me. Like I said, I’m not expecting anything to come of this, but some insight for future situations would be nice.
