My name is Vernita (born January 30, 1993), and I’d like some insight about a man named Chris (born February 1, 1976). A week ago, he came to my apartment for his usual visit. But this time, the - question #8355

energy was very different. He didn’t smile. He was extremely quiet. He avoided eye contact — there was a moment when he glanced at me sideways, but he didn’t look directly at my face or into my eyes, which he usually does. Something felt off. I’ve been replaying that whole visit over and over in my mind trying to figure out what it meant. Before coming over, he had messaged me about a rash. He said it wasn’t itchy or painful and thought it might be from his detergent. When he showed it to me in person, it didn’t even look like a real rash — just some tiny bumps. But he used it as the reason why we couldn’t be physical that day. Right before leaving, as he was grabbing his spray can and toolbox, he said, “Maybe next time,” and kissed me on the cheek with a little peck.That moment has stayed with me. I keep thinking about it. I haven’t been able to fully let it go, because it all felt strange — emotionally muted, like he was holding something back. I can’t help but wonder: Has he thought about that day too? Does he regret how cold or distant he came off? Has he reflected on it? Since then, I’ve been trying to open him up emotionally. I even made a short AI-animated video of us kissing and sent it to him, along with a message saying: “You can feel however you want to feel… just feel something.” But he never responded. And just tonight, I sent him three selfies — still no reply. My one question for you is this: Has he thought about me since that day? Thank you so much. – Vernita
