Okay so my birthday was last Saturday. And my crushes "best friend" (lets call her R) that I don't talk to anymore, was trying to convince my crush to get him to say happy birthday to me. R said to my crush "just tell her happy birthday and make her day!" At first he told her, "tell her happy birthday for me ;)" And R said no because she said that I would of thought that she was making fun of me because she was mentioning my crush, kinda like teasing me about it you know ? Then my crush said "how am I suppose to tell her I cant" then R told him to do it on Twitter or Facebook, and he didn't want to. R then said to my crush to follow me on Twitter, and he said "I don't think so" with a laughing emoji. Then in the end, he told R he would eventually find me on Twitter to say happy birthday to me, and he never did. And today I barely found out that one of my friends told him to also tell me happy birthday, and he just said to her "alright I will." And my friend thought that he did, but he never did. My friend called him fake, and I kinda agree with her tbh. Me and my crush haven't talked in like 2 1/2 months, and he makes no effort, and I always do, so I stopped talking to him.
Why wouldn't he be able to tell me happy birthday ? I mean it's not hard to say 2 simple words. Is it because he doesn't like me or he knows I like him? maybe he's shy?
