Yeah, I’ve always been a strong advocate for honesty when it comes to these things. A lot of my guy friends come to me for advice for their girl problems and I always tell them the straightforward truth (with a little ego padding here and there). However when it comes to my own experiences with guys, I always skirt around, not wanting to offend them. If I asked him to change, it’d be like telling him to “grow up” (harsh?). Instead, whenever he dropped those stupid comments, I’d change the subject, hoping he’d get the hint. Though funnily enough, the ditzy girls in his group were attracted by this same immaturity of his *shrug*.
I guess my shyness came from my inexperience with actual relationships. I’ve had guys ask me out, but I’ve never been desperate for love so I’ve never had a boyfriend (I’m 18 btw). Hence, I wasn’t used to being the pursuer. But you were right; if I wanted this to work I should’ve confronted him about it. As it stands, I’m not interested anymore, going out a lot with my friends again, free time, sunny day etc.
He will probably grow out of it…who knows, we have a habit of coming back to each other after a few years.
