Lazy Sunday

So, I finally made it back to my apartment after an extended 4th of July weekend.

I haven’t done much today, other than wash my hair.

I’ve been texting The Quiet Physicist for a little while now, about 2 weeks. The texts have mostly covered everyday stuff, some random stuff. I have noticed that I have been the person to initiate every texting session between us. I don’t mind sending a text or two sometimes, but since I’ve been the initiator every time, I’m starting to feel iffy about it. I also ask the majority of the questions. I wonder if I’m texting him too much. I realize there must be some interest since he is responding to the texts I do send. Should I be worried that he has never texted me first though? I’d like to talk to him at some point, but seeing as he has never texted me first, I’d find it unlikely he’d call me first.

I could take it into my own hands and call, but every time I initiate something with a guy, it blows up in my face. I’ll admit, there is definitely some worry about rejection on my part.

I was reading another blog and one of the commentators stated that one of the best ways to gauge a man’s real interest in you is to simply do nothing. The author didn’t mean sit there twiddling your thumbs and let the guy do everything. What she meant was that if you were doing your end in getting to know someone and decided to simply do nothing and the guy never bothers to contact you, never asks to see how you’ve been doing, etc- then real interest in you is likely not reciprocal.

I’m tempted to do this.
