question

[Guest]

ok so this guy that i'm dating really likes me and i like him . we text each other all the time. on there he is the sweetest, funnyest, most open guy you ever met. but when we go on a date he acts all weird. and his friends come with us so i'm like the only girl. i mean on text we talk about exactly wat we are going to do on the date right down to the tiny details. so why is he a cool guy on texting but then be a total jerk on the date??

Hi!

Thank you for posting a bulletin on National Runaway Switchboard's website. We are happy to hear that you are dating a great guy, and at the same time sorry to hear that he acts awkward and is being a jerk. Do you feel comfortable in talking to him about this? It sounds like the details are planned, but does he mention that his friends are going to come along? It seems like he might be viewing meeting up as something other than a date. How long have you been seeing him? Sometimes new relationships can make people nervous about being just with the other person.

We are a 24/7 confidential crisis line if you are want to talk more in-depth about the situation or you can post another bulletin. We wish you the best and take care!
