Ever feel like you continue to give in a relationship but the person you're giving to never responds?

Well, I feel like I'm doing that right now. I feel like I'm giving for the both of us, with regards to this person - let's just call him/her "person". haha. I try to talk, I try to be nice, I try to initiate conversations and make person feel comfortable - but no response. maybe it's my social awkwardness - but i've never had THIS much of a problem before...periodically I'll get something, something small - like a smile, but usually i get nothing. it's pretty pathetic. I'm not normally one to initiate, but I've come to realize my need to be liked by people - even if it's just nominally. But i really think that person doesn't like me and i can't figure out why.

anyway, i'm getting tired of doing all the initiating. soon i'll give up and just let it be.
