I didn’t reply…

I’ve ignored him since yesterday. Why? I’m not entirely sure. I’m trying to distance myself, to not be so available and able. I’m trying to see if he really does give a shit.

After our "talk" that night, I had invited him to come to the beach with my friends and I on Sunday.
Sunday came around and I didn’t feel like bothering him and asking him to come. I figured if he wants to come, he’ll text me. I didn’t expect him to. However, he texted me,

"When are you planning on going to the beach?
Me: "Around 1230ish"
"I am babysitting three little sisters right now, so when their parents come back, I’ll head over"

Needless to say, I was surprised, almost shocked that he remember and actually is making an effort. Well around 3pm I texted him and asked if he was still busy. He told me he was, the parents of the girls keep extending.

Around 5, he calls me.
"I’m assuming you’re not at the beach anymore?"
Me: "No we left, we just sat down to eat dinner"
"Oh, okay well my cousins were asking me what we are doind tonight and I told them to come over. We’ll probably have a bonfire and watch movies in my basement, and since you say I never invite you. I’m inviting you"
Me: "Well, I’m eating right now, so I’ll let you know when I’ll head home"
"Yeah, I know you’re busy and everything right now. Take your time but if you have a chance stop by tonight"

I didn’t go. I told him I got home late (which I did) so I won’t be able to come.

He didn’t talk to me after that so I texted him yesterday and told him that I’ve been around riding a bike (since he taught me last week). I felt as though, I’m forcing him to conversate with me. Cause I told him to respond to my messages and not disappear during our "talk" and I think that’s what he’s doing and the conversations are useless. Felt forced to me. So I stopped. He texted me after a couple hours "Just saw the picture of you riding a bike, congrats!!!"

I didn’t reply.

I woke up this morning to a text from him saying "Let’s ride to sonic together!!"

I haven’t replied. I don’t know what I’m doing. I just need him to realize that I’m worth something.
