Teen Girl's Angst Over Guy's Intentions

Dear Miss Emily:
This guy and i hung out all of Saturday after his football game. We're
in high school and we've hung out a few times already before this.
Usually we watch movies at his house, but we sometimes go out to see a
movie, go out to eat, or we've gone to the mall. But on Saturday
we really started getting into it, and we were making out just about
the whole time and then he reached down and tried unbuttoning my pants.
I'm a virgin so I'm not quite sure if I'm ready to do it. It was my time of month, so i told him no. He shrugged
it off, and we kept making out for a while so i thought it was fine.
Now its been four days that he hasn't text me first -- and when i text
him, it's short answers. He also asked why he wasn't 'allowed,' and I told
him plain out it was my times of month. He told me I should have just
told him, but after that the conversation pretty much ended. I'm
starting to wonder what's up with him, since he usually texts me EVERY
night and we hang out during the week quite a bit, typically. Am I over misreading the situation and making it a bigger deal than it is? I know it's
hunting week, and end of quarter for grades, so he's busy -- but i don't
know. I'm just confused and worried, and in a way I think I'm trying to
make up excuses for him possibly just wanting me to do stuff.

I know most guys are pretty horny and will go after what they can if it's available to them. I also know you misled him by telling him it was that time of the month -- rather than adding "And I'm not ready for sex" -- because if he does get back on track with you, he's going to think he can try again, and succeed. So your job? First off, it's to figure out what you want, what is best for you, and stick to it. My guess is that maybe he is busy, and he'll be back to pursuing this relationship -- and sex with you. And that's when you have to tell him what you've decided on that score. If he comes back, wants sex, and you tell him "No" then you're going to know by his response, and subsequent interaction (or no interaction) with you, what he's all about. You're worth more than an easy lay, and as soon as you realize that (which you may already), you'll stand up for yourself and go after guys who know how to treat a female. Hint: With respect! If it were me, I'd want to know the guy I liked was interested in respecting my feelings and honoring them. Never let a guy tear out your heart and stomp on it with your permission. That's just being stupid.
