A long time ago, me and a guy I really like stopped talking for a long time.
This summer i tried to contacted him after 3years and he ended up coming to my city for a weekend and chill with his friends and mine.
When he first called me to set to figure out how the week-end would go, I could feel he was a little uncomfortable, I could feel his awkwardness through the phone because back when we stopped talking it was because he played me. When he came, in real life he was really chill.
Although I really like the man, I had gone through so much pain but I’m still being the ‘bigger man’ and trying to have him in my life as a friend because he doesn’t want anything more with me.
My question is on texts he is super cold and basic. When I text him he just answers, there’s no exchange only one worded answers and the conversations are always short(he stops answering).
I asked him one day if I was on his bad side and why and he said ” because you trip me out” and another time he said “I’m tripped out by you ” what does it mean?
I’m so confused, in real life he is less cold. On texts he seems indifferent. Help

I don’t know but I’d guess he’s not interested in you if he’s not sounding responsive to your texts. I’d stop trying to contact him if I were you. It sounds like a one sided relationship.
@jca yes it really is and it’s draining because he rarely texts. What do you think ” I’m tripped out by you ” means in this context? By the way thank you for talking the time to answer.
I think it means “you’re fucking with my head.” “You’re confusing.”
@jca he trips me out… anyways thank you for sharing your opinion i really appreciate it
@sneki95 what do you mean ? You don’t think it’s negative?
1) It has two definitions. One is“being freaked out”, and the other one means “amusing someone”.
2) I didn’t read the details. Sorry.
@Sneki95 ow no worries I think its on the negative side but why would he be scared of me? I told him it was cool he didn’t want anything I was ok but still he is tripped out by me :( ...do you think it could be because he knows I like him and he doesn’t want that?
I think you’ll have to talk with him. No other way to know what is he thinking.
Yes ask him. The worst that can happen is he says he doesn’t like you.
Its hard talking to someone who just answered and with all the time that has past asking would just be opening a can of worms and having me being annoying..
@Lovefirst Welcome to Fluther and…I think you just answered your own question above. My thoughts exactly. It doesn’t matter what he means by you tripping him out, good or bad, the real question is WHY are you wasting your time pursuing this moron that has such a limited vocabulary and ability to express himself? Let the guy go and find someone that can actually articulate their thoughts and express their feelings in a more mature fashion.
He’s clearly not interested in you as more than a friend so spending time trying to analyze his sayings is a waste of time.
Take it from one who has been there and is working hard on enjoying her guy crush for the friendship that it is.
He finds you to be odd, or strange. Man, move on!
Trip me out to me means that you kind of blow my mind. I use it in a fairly positive way. Like you do unexpected things. It can mean also that it’s something that strikes me as odd and funny. That’s how I think of it anyway.
I don’t think it’s a positive thing. I think it means you confuse him and he doesn’t know how to take you. Really, if he isn’t interested in you and he’s being monosyllabic in his responses, I’d just give him a big miss. Why waste your time trying to keep someone in your life that doesn’t want to be there? Invest that energy on someone who does like you and who you don’t ‘trip out’.
Why do you want him in your life?
Translation: “You make me high, man!” Like acid. Like peyote. Like wow, man.
It can have a lot of meanings, actually. In this case, the OP is the best judge of what it means, and it doesn’t sound like they’re happy with it.
Thank you everyone for taking the time to answer..I dont get why I don’t just move on man its been years and I don’t get why I want him as a friend when I love him.. crazy as it sounds and he is totally indifferent. Setting myself once again for pain and failure.. I don’t get how we can like someone who never even liked us in the first place…I scare him wondering if its my physical appearance..how painful and heavy
Dutchess, what does OP means?
@Lovefirst, have you thought about talking to a therapist? If you are still hankering after a man who clearly has no interest in you, you’re holding yourself back from having a great life. Perhaps you have become stuck in the cycle of grief. Talking to a therapist might help you to clear that blockage and move on and find someone who does love you.
And if he had a relationship with you in the past, your physical appearance isn’t abhorrent to him unless you’ve changed dramatically. Regardless, what he thinks of how you look is immaterial. He doesn’t want to be with you. You have to move on.
OP means original post/poster. That’s you.
His use of hipster language needs work. What he should have said was that you were a bad trip since a trip itself isn’t always a bad thing.
Do you guys think i was looking desperate by texting him even if he was only answering?
(I stopped texting him)
Damn worst is I’m not even desperate. I just can’t understand why people scrap humans like that. They mess up or do something and it’s easier for them to just cut it off and start fresh with a next person. They are too weak for confrontation and of top of that have too much ego. I really thought he was funny and we were almost the same and got along pretty well i didn’t want to lose that. And I wasnt going to force someone to have a connection with me if they don’t want to I just wanted to be friends at least. But it seems impossible..
Good. Time to reclaim your self esteem.
Warning: Now that you’ve stopped texting him, he may come back to chase you back down. It’s called “The Hunt.” ” And has nothing to do with you, but everything to do with “The Conquest.”
I mean, once you walk away, he might very well feel the need to see if he can drag you back, just to see if he can. That’s “the conquest.”
And once he has you back he’ll dismiss you again, and when you get sick of it and walk away again, he may very well entice you back with flattery or proclamations of love, or whatever. And then when he has you again he’ll dismiss you.
All of us have experienced this. Some people (guys and girls) just aren’t interested unless it’s a “challenge.”
