This guy I really like and I have been texting each other for about a week, but I'm always the one to start conversations. He answers me fast and is really sweet, but is he just trying not to hurt my feelings? What should I do?

Dear Emma dkcksjdjxn,

In bygone days it was considered improper for the woman to take the lead in a relationship...and I will tell you that in the Sixties a few of my guy friends told me how hard that was for them, always responsible for the initiative.

And now in 2016, it's okay for a woman to take gentle and gracious initiative.

I suggest you just keep up as you are, as long as things seem to be going well. If he is just being polite, you will know soon enough and you can back off then.

You're over thinking this .... Yeah he likes you :)
