Okay so recently I started seeing this guy, let's call him Boy 1 and I came to realize that whenever I would text him it would always be me starting the conversation I showed the chats to my best friend and she suggested that I shouldn't text him for a few days just to see if he would start a conversation on his own... He hasn't, he also has the habit of avoiding even the simplest of questions I ask him, like how is he doing etc.

I've also realized that he won't really gel well with my friends... he's a good guy but I don't know how to say that I don't think I can see him anymore (his birthday is coming up this week too, dunno if that has anything to do with my dilemma)

Now Boy 2 is my ex boyfriend, who was and still is the best boyfriend I've ever had and he recently broke up with the girl he dated after me and I've never been this nervous to tell him that I still like him (we broke up over his fear of losing me because of distance, he ended up going long distance with this girl but that didn't turn out well for him)

I've spoken to him about our breaking up and his ex girlfriend and he apologized for leaving me and the way he did it...

I'm just scared of hurting myself if he turns me down...

It's come to a point where I'm losing sleep because of what to do...
