I have another question. Some deaf guys seem OK to talk to me until they ask if I am deaf. Once they find out that I'm not deaf, their whole presentation changes, and they eventually move on to someone else. I would like to understand this. It's almost as if I became a different person.

Trying to understand why my deaf guy friend would remain silent after asking me how I feel about him? and coming to terms with the reality that I need to move on

Today, I learned that a deaf guy that I really liked since last year did not like me as much as I did him. The way he told me was through silence, and I had to figure it out. So, I do feel foolish now, because it seems it took me awhile to figure it out.

ASL learner me. Online study I practice. Cant take ASL class day because work. Go Deaf events practice more. Forget signs all the time. Learn, learn, forget, forget!

What I don't get is if he wasn't interested in pursuing a relationship with me, why ask me to tell him how I feel about him? it still doesn't make sense to me. In my past w/hearing men, if they are not interested, they don't ask that question if they are not interested, because the girl will...

Well, he asked me to tell him how I feel about him, and I told him. Now, I would like to know how he feels about me, and he does not respond. Just complete silence. It's been 3 months. I tried to accept it, but it became difficult to communicate with him not knowing where I stand with him so...

Well, I think my guy friend and I are done. I sent him a long email confessing my love for him, and there has been no reply from him. So, I'm going to move on. Thank you everyone for all your replies and support. I really appreciate it.

I didn't finish my sentence above......Sometimes I like when I text my guy friend and he doesn't respond, is it because it's easier to understand english than to formulate a reply back in english? It is possible that he doesn't want to text me back or is annoyed with me, and is trying to tell...

Well, no....I didn't ask him out to coffee or to a cc movie. I'm to scared to ask him out. I'm waiting for him to ask me, and I'm not sure if that will happen. When I see him in person, he stares at me a lot, like he's trying to tell me something, but I'm not sure what it is? but when I...

Well, I'm really confused now. My deaf guy friend that I really like finally asked me to tell him how I feel, and I told him, and there has been no reply from him. After asking him directly, he will not reply. I send him a video about ASL and Oralism, and asked him to tell me what he thinks...

I looked in the ASL dictionary for the word empathy, and there is no sign for that word. How would you describe empathy or sign it in ASL?

One thing that has come up that I don't understand is when I ask him questions related to sign language or what a certain word is in ASL, he never gets back to me. Or, he doesn't respond to to text or email

Mewtilation, I understand your annoyance. My friend was very gracious. He told me it didn't bother him that I announced that he was deaf. I did tell him that from now on I plan to check with him first to make sure. As a hearing person, not all hearing people see being deaf as same as...

In the hearing world, if you announce to a group of hearing people that your friend is deaf, it might draw attention to the deaf person and some may look at that person as disabled. Or, by telling them ahead of time, they understand why I'm signing. I was thinking at the time by telling them...

If I met someone who said they liked being single. I would ask them "why are they allowing themselves to be met?"

Well, I think I really messed up. I introduced my friend who is deaf to my hearing family, and I told them that he was deaf and then introduced my friend using sign language the best I could. Later I felt really bad. Did I mess up again? When you meet other deaf people; they want to know if...

Another thing is that unless I send him email, he won't send one to me. He replies if I send email to him, but not the other way around. This is stressing me out, because I'm not sure if I'm bothering him. Days can go by without hearing from him. It seems he's not interested?, doesn't care...

Well, after about 2 weeks of friendly emails, nothing romantic he sends me a selfie with no explanation. I'm not sure what to do. Ask him why he sent it? or since he sent his pic, i should send him my pic? I don't know.....

Now, I'm not sure if anything will work out. I ask mostly questions about him, gut he doesn't ask any questions about me. That's a sign isn't it? That he's not interested right?

Thank you so much for the encouragement. I am glad there is potential for this relationship to work. Learning how to sign has been a real learning curve for me. On the other hand, Being with him has made me become more aware of what he has to put up with on a daily basis. when I'm around his...
