I sent him a not so good text, did I just ruin things between us for good???

Yesterday I sent a text message to a guy that I really liked but he was, I feel, playing games with me. He told me how he felt about me and he knew how I felt about him. We had been talking and hanging out for about 2 months at this point and I still have feelings for him and would like to see things all work out but here is what I said in the text: " I just want you to know that I want to move on, and just be civil with you at Webb's (myplace of work, he is a customer there) I am talking to someone new now. Have a great week. K bye."

That is what I sent him yesterday morning and as of this point in time I havent heard from him. I keep on second guessing myself and telling myself that it all happened for the best and for a reason and then telling myself that I still really want to work things out and see what happens between us, and if its meant to be that he will come back around and want to be with me.

I dont know if I just sealed my fate with him by sending him that text or if he will ever come around and call/text me again!!! I dont want to be the one who calls/texts him after I sent him that. But I just want to know all of your opinions here, what do you think will or could come from this good or bad??!!

What should I do at this point in time? Wait and see what happens? Make amends? Move on? I just dont know what to do??!!

Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don't.

You did the right thing. Don't reverse it. We always want to second guess those that play games with us. It is hard to imagine that someone you have so many feelings for may have little to no feelings for you in return. It is hard to deal with, but you are just going to have to take some time to get over him. Tasha, if a guy wants you, he shows you and when put to a [what should be a] challenge, he should respond. My personal opinion is that if he wanted you back, he would come chase after you....Even though you said you have moved on, its obvious it is very casual and new; so nothing serious, and nothing that cannot be undone.

Turn off the television and teach your children how to think.

*I do not read or write anything in the "Comments" section.*

 

On looking at the text you sent, it certainly seems as though you were saying you no longer are interested in starting or maintaining a relationship with this man.

Why did you send him a message saying "I am ready to move on" and "I am talking to someone new now" if that's not true?

Whatever you do now should be done in person. Forget the stupid text messaging and grow a backbone!

If you meant it when you sent it but have changed your mind, tell him so.

Say, "I sent you a message saying I wanted to move on, but I realize I didn't mean it. I was angry and frustrated and I hit send before I thought things through. I would like to continue to get to know you and I trust we can take our relationship to the next level."

If you are lucky enough to get a second chance, then knock off the silly game playing and see what happens.

If not, learn your lesson and move on.

Hello,i think that people don't understand once you text someone something it has been sent and you can't overturn a text.At this point in your life after saying some things you should have not said you have to be a lady and face the facts.Now you are sitting back trying to put the pieces back together that you have lost.YOU have to understand that just cause you are upset people have feeling them selves.I don't know why you sent the text but you made it loud and very clear that you was done with himand you wanted to see other people.Maybe you did this to hurt him but really you played your self.Now you want to make things right.This guy at the time may have not been the man that you wanted him to be.So what is so different now?I think as a lady if you really are sorry you might want to see him in person and try to explain to him that you was very upset and you only sad those things cause you was trying to get him to man up and be a better man.Don't play your self short if you have sent him another text and he did not reply back to you is because he feels that he might not be the one for you.If i was you I would not send no more texts to him.BUt be a lady and try to invite him over and have lunch.TRY to put on your best nite gown and show him that you are really sorry.The next time you are upset don't send a text talk it out with the person and see what you can do different.Well i hope that the text has not ruined things between you and the guy that you was upset with but now wants back.

This is why you should think before you speak. If you were unsure of your feelings, you shouldn't have sent him such a message. Unfortunately you can't take your words back or turn back time. He's probably not going to contact you b/c you basically told him not to. If you want to have any chance at rectifying this situation, you need to contact him and appologize. Tell him you were confused at the time & didn't mean what you said. That's all you can do.. see what happens.

So I guess the money question is this: SHOULD I JUST LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE AND MOVE ON? If its meant to be and he truly likes me and cares about me he will say/do something regardless of what I sent him?

Personally, and from the men that I know, I truly believe that he would come back and try to fight for you regardless of what you told him. Just think about it, what you said really wasn't malicious, and its obvious you were upset with him. He could have easily texted you back "come on Tasha, don't do this, we can make it work." But he didn't, it was not worth the effort for him. In addition, if you were going to go back and try to explain yourself it sort of makes you look unstable and indecisive. I know my opinion differs from most people that have answered your question, but this is truly what I believe.

If it were me, I would contact him & appologize. I would tell him I didn't mean what I said. If he really likes you, he won't hold what you said against you. If you wait for him to contact you, it might take a while & is going to drive you crazy not knowing if he's going to call.

I understand what u are saying Janissa. But do u think that if he really cared and liked me as he had claimed to when he told me his "feelings" that he would at least make an effort to try to make things right without me having to do that? It just seems like I would be doing all of the work and he would never have to lift a finger and he would get his way and what he wants, then he would think that he can do and act however he wants and I will keep running back to him and let what he does slide. I know I am the one that sent the text but if a guy likes u and cares about u wont he fight for u and at least try to make things right with u and not give up so easily? I wonder if I should be taking this as a sign that he really never cared at all and he was just playing me. Everything happens for a reason right....

First, grow up. Secondly, if you blew it with this guy, there'll probably be many more later. Just learn from your mistakes and don't lose your job.
