I think you definitely like the attention of both guys and that’s why you didn’t want to tell one guy the reason for your status countdown — so you could keep him on deck for yourself while at the same time enjoying the anticipation of this other guy coming back into town.
If you do tell your in town friend the reason for your status count down, he’s going to lose interest in you. And if you keep it a secret from him, he’s probably still going to lose interest in you because you keep secrets from him, and he doesn’t like that. No guy would. In fact, you wouldn’t either, if the tables were turned.
My advice is not to make your feelings so public! Especially since you like playing the field, which is entirely appropriate for a 15 year old! Just because you’re excited about a guy coming back in town so you can see him, doesn’t mean you have to tell the whole world about it and expect other guys who like you not to react.
So practice privacy. That’s going to help you a lot. It’s also going to put a lid on any drama you’re drumming up to get attention for yourself (which you may not even realize you’re doing).
But since you already did post your countdown online, and the guy who’s liked you for three weeks now knows about it, it may be better to tell him, even though you can’t control what he’s going to think. Next time, keep your crushes private — not public.
I hope that helps! 🙂
