Lost Connection

 

During the first semester of school, I had a class with this guy and we talked all the time. But now that the new semester has started and we don’t have a class together, he’s stopped talking to me. Even when I bump into him in the hall, he just ignores me. Help!


BILL: Maybe he has short-term memory loss. Or, he could have befriended you just so he could grab answers off your class assignments. Or maybe he’s playing the “ignore her to see if she ignores me too” game. Kind of reverse psychology. Does it work? Look how much time you’re spending thinking about him. Stop him in the hall one day, and ask him what’s up. The direct method usually works best.


DAVE: I’m going with that ol’ standby answer: It’s not you—it’s him. As long as you’re giving him plenty of opportunities to chat, then there’s not much else you can do. Most likely, he has something going on in his life—a girlfriend, buddies who kid him about talking to girls, his voice is changing—that’s caused him to clam up. Keep being friendly, and eventually he might come around.
