GIVING ADVICE

Dear Clear
If I were you, I wouldn't be too worried about this. Are you sure this guy is your friend? Obviously, you should talk to him as quickly as possible. You must speak relaxed to him and tell them that you are worried.
As for the texts, you must try not to hinik about him. Unfortunaltely, he is strange sometimes, and you have to live with it.
