Those boys are jerks. But there are boys that care.

I've experienced the same thing. But in the end he asked me out, and I was really happy. But then I found out that its a fckin dare. I thought he was just shy, so I didn't tell him that I knew. In the few months we went out I always start the convo first. Just like you, he just say oh or smth. Then I got enough of it and be blunt. The next day he started the convo but thats it. Just one day. But since I liked him so much, I let it be, again. But then there's the last time, I 'interrogated' him. Coz I'm not satisfied with his answer, I broke up with him.

It hurts. I cried many times, thinking how stupid I am and what a waste of time it was waiting for him when there's someone waiting for me.
