I (21F) have been in a situationship with a guy (25M) for the past few months. We've been hanging out on the weekends and some weekdays depending on our schedule. Now, we both go to two different universities and I'm planning on going back to my home state for the summer. May or May not return for the following semester, as I'm not that happy at school rn.
Anyways, He was recently laid off and I've been talking him through it and it seems like everything has been figured out, as he got a new position that he's happy about.
So, this past Sunday, it much more relaxed when we got to meet. Went to a bar, had a few drinks, and went back to his place. The usual. The following morning, he confessed he was in love with me and did not want me to go back to my home state, as he will miss me a lot. I didnt know what to say, we've never confessed feelings before and I was caught off guard. He's very stoic and aloof, so this was unusual for him. I confessed that I had similar feelings and we left it at that.
He did mention how I needed to present myself better though, which was strange. He did say that if we were to go out again, he wants me to present an image. I wasn't offended and listened. Some of it, I will say was valid.
But now, ive texted him a few times and no response for about a day. He's never done this before and has left me on seen. I feel very nervous, because he did open up. What is a guy's perspective on this? I've never had a guy confess feelings before.
TL;DR; situationship says he loves me, comments on my appearance, and is ghosting me now. Any advice??
