Why wont he text first?!?

[Lady Bri]

So I was very close to one of my co workers & developed a crush on him. I quit & finally told him about the crush. He gave me his number & said we could hang out some time..I hate making first contact so he tweeted me "I gave my number and you never hit me up!" So I said fine, I will text him since its bothering him. Now he always looks for an excuse for me to text him, but won't text me first. I tweeted about a piercing I wanted & he replied "idk what that looks like , send me an example of one so I can judge how that will look on you". So I sent it , and he sparked up a convo via text. Then it went from that to him wanting to hang out & drink. He never asked me directly he just hinted around it on twitter once again & then told me to "text him". We stayed up played games, drank beers, ate food, Like an indoor date. He speaks highly of me, & seems interested but why THE hell is he always wanting me to make contact first ? Is this an ego thing ?

Probably. Why don't you give him a taste of his own medicine?

That seems to be the hardest part when two people like each other--- who contacts who. I think men should be the ones who do it first, because they're guys (lol). But, I think the biggest reason he doesn't text first and I think this is most people's reason is because they're afraid of rejection. We have all procrastinated to send a text to someone we like because we are afraid they wont respond, they're uninterested, or that we are bothering them, maybe he is just insecure and he is letting his thoughts get to him. I have a thing going on with a guy right now, too. The most awkward part is who will talk to who first, but once one of us breaks the silence we have so many great conversations.

He is going to push to see what he can get out of you.
He knows that if you chase him, you are desperate for him,
and will let him get away with whatever.

So back off a bit, see what happens. lf he comes after you,
he is interested, if he doesn't, then there is really nothing
else you can do, For whatever reason, he's just not that into you.

l would suggest you do something to keep you genuinely busy.
Take night school, join a club (eg. Geneology) join a bowling league
team - just anything that you would like to learn or do, that will
get you out doing something different, meeting new people, and
not so focussed on this guy.

Have you ever thought that maybe, not all guys text first? Be a big girl and make the first move already. He seems really into you. Just text him and say, "hello." Or better yet, call him in the middle of the night. That would be even more fun!

Probably just so he could feel comfortable. But This guy sounds like a wuss to me.

He likes it when you text first, and you would too. So keep texting him first and he will start texting you first. And if he doesn't it means he is DEEPLY in love with you, he likes it soooooooooo much that he doesn't want you to stop.

He could be intimidated to start a convo with you. Some guys get like that because they don't want to sound stupid or seem cheesy. It could also mean that he is trying to boost his ego which I highly doubt, usually if a guy is ignoring your texts and only texts you when he wants to hang out and/or hookup means he is trying to boost his ego.
