Wouldn't YOU wonder, too?

Let's make this postcard. He ended it. He persued me twice since then. When I asked why he came back he shrugged it off to something casual. "Oh I just happened to notice there you were". Okay, that's fine. He says he wants things to stay arms length and we can talk in text or IM but he doesn't want verbal communication.(He moved so we had been in a LDR, I'm moving to the same area but now phone/text/net is our only means of communication)

 

This was 2 days after he gave me his number again. I was like alright that's fine whatever you're comfortable with type of attitude. Since then HE's called me two times. The one time he just got the good old beep, the second time I answered. Our conversation was near baffling. It was brief but he's the type of person who is always "on top of his game". It was only 90 seconds but he was awkward and grappled through it like a nervous seventh grader on a date.

 

Brief rundown- I sent a text asking if he'd like to play a game we both enjoy with me. very simple, casual text.He could of texted me with a yes or no answer. Instead he called.So it basically went like this "Yeah, I'll meet you online to play" I said "okay sounds good" then expected him to say bye, he didn't. He paused for probably 20 seconds when I spoke up and said "Is that what you wanted to tell me?" And like a nervous little teenager he was like "oh..yeah..that's a good question.." I just giggled cause it was funny and said okay talk to you then. I'm actually not even sure he said bye back, I just hung up.

 

It was so strange to hear him sound like a deer caught in headlights. It was the first time we'd actually spoke over the phone to one another since the break 6 months ago, as I said he contacted me twice since then via email but yeah this was our first time speaking again. In seven years I've never once heard him sound so "un smooth".

 

Either way, why call when he can text? I didn't throw a big fit or put on any kind of guilt trip when he suggested no verbal communication.Calls a lot for someone who doesn't want to "talk" to me.(2 is a lot when a person says never)

 

Talk about mixed signals?
