Move on because you deserve that! Ive been dating this guy for 9 months. He invited me to meet him up at the gym, he was very flirty, very touchy, in between sets he would come talk to me. It's like I don't exist. I felt scolded. Yet he still doesnt talk to me or see me help!?! Well long story short I stayed over and we slept together. Give him his three months and even if its a new girl, hell be back, missing you more if you were really close. Yes, lol, 4 months. Sex was so good. Then communication slowed down stopped answering my texts I kept at it though kept messaging him once and a while I would get a brief answer back with like a heart then that stopped completely I tried reaching out to him to let him know when I was diagnosed with breast cancer and was having surgery I was still convincing myself he loved me but no response back at all so kept myself busy and eventually moved on and started to date again now yesterday I got a text from this man he was saying how he joined the army and didnt want me to worry if he got hurt or killed so he didnt tell me now he is saying how sad he is he hoped to come back and make me his wife made me feel guilty Time for an upgrade! Its almost like a push and pull game with him. I sent him a couple of messages later that day.. No response.. A day turned into a week then two weeks and nothing.. then i decided that there was no point me wasting my time thinking of a guy who was not obviously interested in me. To add insult to injury, hes completely re-updated his tinder profile and has been very active so I know hes on his phone. 8. We are in this together!! Needless to say when we got off the phone I spent the night crying. Then recently he deleted his Facebook page which I think is so weird cause I never contact him on there since we both dont use it that much. I told him i knew he was never going to contact me again. He is not the kind of man that stays alone. Although we do share some similar patterns, we are all different given our familial, cultural, and even racial background. 2. So after a week I just send him an email saying goodbye. New girlfriend, he never want to see me. Bringing up the issue of his ex cheating (very briefly but when little else emotional connection has been established its a little odd). I dont ever over-do texting or calling, simply because Im busy and dont really have time for technology- its just my (type B/ laid back) personality. I find the older I get the more men want to force me into a wedding ring. I am honest in my interactions and friendly and Im not judgemental. after few months, that i spent whole weekdays texting and weekends on skype, i found very cheap flight tickets so i suggested the visit. You finally got over your anger and rejection over the guy who disappeared on you out of nowhere and then he throws a curveball your way by coming back to life and texting you weeks or months after he went AWOL. In my opinion men should not get away with this kinda of behavior. Thank you.. this makes sense, explains behaviors of some, for me. Why? Sometime I text like I talk but thats me holding a dialogue. but then he started talking about spending weekend in an island. Then he turned it around on me and said I was pushing the gas pedal down too hard and he wasnt sure what he wanted and this started out to be fun but he got a sense it was headed somewhere more serious (remember week 1 he said he was falling for me and he said it was headed somewhere serious not me.) I know if he missed me hed texts first but I miss him so and want to to texts him firts all the time asking him why he just disapeared or just saying I miss you . Just at the time you are convenient. I know that people dealing with family issues can be distant and withdrawn but I just wanted to make sure everything was ok and hes ignoring me completely. He will not do things or behave in a way that would cause the woman to wonder. And thats how men rationalize their actions. One being he gave me a STD and wasnt aware that he could pass it on to me (Or was he thinking it would never happen to him?) Care to join? I saw him at the gym the very next day. Like a fool the next night we had a date and he continued to say more things that really hurt my feelings. Needlesa to say, I stayed the night. if he stay away, it his loss. so I really like this new guy I met he likes me and his day s are busy with school work and some other stuff so I write something cuz he hasnt written me so I txt him ssayinh hi how are u hope ur not workin ya self to hard lol but I did want to ask u a question u can call or txt .nite later and he texts me back saying He ghosted on Tuesday 20/9, this week, without any hints. I met this guy online on a website that advocates marriage. He had to go under. Lol Ive tried looking up new restaursnts, walks to the park I just dont know what direction to go towards, what does it mean when a guy asks you to make it interstitial again? They come on strong, test you out, let you go on and reveal yourself, sometimes they reveal themselves. But lets not forget that if a man has entered a womans heart or if a woman has entered a mans heart, there is a human responsibility, repeat, human responsibility, to disengage truthfully. I analyze everything, and the one thing I say is I am not his girlfriend and he really doesnt owe me anything his loss and I move on! When he disappears from your life without a sign, you can easily text him with what you expect from him. I cant believe I was so Every individual is a little unique and it is quite unfitting to pack all men in the same bag. Take a hard look at your life and try to better yourself. Im a mother of two. I wanted to check with you to see how your situation is? 3. Weve been staying in touch for some time and seeing each other, but weve had some fights etc. I told him I also wanted to be with him but I didn feel ready in that moment. But then he did something annoying, deleted me on Facebook and blocked me?! Look its 2013. Concentrating on other more important thi gs in life but not shutting .y self off from experiences.. We met up for a cup of coffee and here is the funny thing :P I still laugh about it till now, even though it was 10 months ago! ) I believed him. I dont know whether he is hiding in his man-cave to pull away or he is losing interest Last time was completely fine and I did not sense anything was wrong. Interesting perspectiveI like what you said up there. wanted a peaceful christmas is like a girl saying she lost her phone all weekend unless youre in a hole in the ground with no internet there are always ways to get in touch. But texting is poison. Could it be a red flag? 2nd guy was a long distance phone and we just set a weekend for him to visit and then I havent heard. Presents for his lil nephews cas they always talked to me over the phone and asked for kids stuff and hed always joke about how I never get them Apparently he could care less if Im upset, mad, hurt, left wondering what happened. Two months later on Christmas Eve he contacts me via text and every other day we texted back and forth. And the only date Ive had since went down like a lead ballon (okay it wasnt that bad.but it didnt feel as enjoyable). No, he never spends time with me. Karina, I think I am the same type as you who like to test the others except lm a girl not a guy. I allowed him to sweet talk me back and tried to give him another chance. You must be aware of what you deserve and whats way beneath you. He admitted that he was having a bad day and we all went home. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Up until this point we had a great relationship! 3 Months is a lot of time and there should be at least a modicum of trust and comfort built up by then. I did sort of screw up and tried to have the talk with him a week before the spring hit. We met for lunch and I told him that I understood, that when I had been divorced for 11 months I was in a relationship that I shouldnt have been in and I truly just understood how he felt. I know I am just a mess when it comes to these things as anyone else but the one thing I have learned is just because a guy is unsure or seems unsure of his own feelings doesnt give him the right to mess with yours. It just drives me crazy not knowing why he stopped contacting me. And, after all of this time that has gone by I feel like Ive done really well in not contacting him. You finally think you meet a guy who truly cares about you and wants a future with you and then poof its like you dont even exist anymore. The Pyramid of Love illustrates a six-step process I teach as your dating coach in Love U. Right now he is trying to mend his heart (erhem ego) by going back to the ex that crushed his ego. That just makes you look desperate. I told him in front of other people that I dont want to see him never again. He would say he would call but didnt. (Please dont scream and shout) We talked and met each other for 3 weeks every day. Well I am pregnant and so it makes it much more harder to just accept a disappearance! Im newly divorced and rather new to dating so all of these games are new to me, Alas, I will not make that mistake again. Now im actually in the process of talking to a guy that I want a relationship with. But then he dissapeared. I got stuff to do anyway, and Im tired of the BS. I kept pulling back but he kept stepping up and making the grand gestures he flew back on the spur of the moment to surprise me. At least youll know its time for you to completely give up on this thing between you, as all of the waiting probably wont get you anywhere. You can ask him what happened after the convo has warmed up a little. things were going ok until this month when he slowly started withdrawing, he started making promises he wouldnt keep one being spending valentines with me which dint happen. This is how a man in love will behave. Enjoy the dating scene. How can you say you love me and then just cut me off like I am nothing?! I sent him a message that evening to say I hoped he had not had too bad a day considering the lack of sleep and inevitable hangover, that I was sorry I had got so drunk but that I thought he was lovely and Im glad we met up. How delusional can u be? the thing is, i know i deserve more and i know i dont like him that much anymore because of what he did but to be treated this way just hurts on a deep level. I told him that I NEED to talk to him after having sex so that I wouldnt feel used. Why would I want to do that to someone? It was a mutual connection and feeling then it just suddenly vanished on his end apparently. It just hurts that someone you spend every day talking to doesnt have the respect and common decency to give closure. You have to think of you, your children and your possible future child not him! I did end up telling him who I really was and yes he was a little weirded out that I lied I the beginning, but things seemed to be fine between us. If he's got a reason like this, we say text him as you did before the ghosting happenedbut be on the lookout for him pulling future Houdini-style disappearing acts on you. Matt wow you must be a huge catch Omg how could woman not want you. That was a red flag to me, if youve been physical with someone and they have something else to do. There are some things that are totally in a woman's control: Let's take a walk down the hall of shame: Being boring. Because I didnt know he was a magician. He says hes with friends and they will be there for a while and to text instead. I met a great guy of an online dating app and things were great to begin. I really was trying not to bother him. He would tell me everything and we would laugh and we only had two arguments but it wasnt bad at all. He then ignored me for a month after i told him not to contact me and that behaving like that and saying he was still into me was text book stringing someone along. he hasnt been in a relationship with a girl who doesnt smoke weed or drink or goes clubbing. Dont fall for it. Then on and off texting, on fathers day I wished him a happy holiday and he said thank you. Zee, if he did go back to his ex, dont take it personally. I feel bad writing such positive things about me. And hes always stated thats a trate he loves in me. Im not going to contact him Im just going to wait and see. I am no longer going to send him messages because I get the hint. Relationships make us strong as we get most heartbroken in relationships. Well sorry to say but that is not a real relationship- if theres any chance in hell the exclusive talk will push this person out of your life youre not a romantic interest, youre an option. Cause you want attention. At some point I feel the need to know, if she appreciates my efforts or if shes taking them for granted? Youll be the backup plan hell come back to whenever he has no other choices to pick from. But to be fair, you must see it from their perspective too. Thank you and good luck! Is that playing games? Your wanted feminism. For the past year we always talked at least every few days, sometimes, more that once a day. She shrugged and said the heart wants what it wants. Sadly thats BS, she wasnt listening to her heart, she was listening to fear. I feel you. Dont sweat it. we felt such strong attraction that we were both baffled. Anyways, I texted him the next day apologizing and he responded saying it was not a big deal at all. Several days ago, my friends, who didnt know that me and him are no longer together, met him at the bar. Not as well thought out. Id appreciate your opinion! Guys are on an entire different timeline than women. He had been acting flakely all week so I told him that it was over, and that I couldnt handle it. And when you do, being direct is essential. imagine all women (and men) acting this way, once entered into relationship, that people pull their own weight and feel genuinely accountable for their actions. Three years is a long time to just break up over a text. I always told him as he requested thinking I was doing the right thing. After he left to melbourne on 20th it broke me, where as hed just say he misses his family and home (His family stays here) and now hes totally cut me off doesnt respond to me i see him online all the time, I feel used and hurt cos we promised each other vl be there for each other during this phase of separation. So I figured by the weekend if we were still talking he would want to see me. He hasnt logged into FB or messenger for over a week now. After a week I checked in him and he hasnt said nothing. so.. Sabrina is right :), OMG!! He finally stopped me in the parking lot at work and told me he was having a lot of life issues at once and was trying to sort them out, but he would be in touch. Communication is key in any relationship, so make sure to talk openly and honestly . 1) You slept with him within two months of seeing him,two months is not a long time. Was this yesterday? To me, he is either dead or I just wanna slap him! Another sign) Unfortunately I made the schoolgirl error of drinking on an empty stomach and got very drunk. If he disappears, it's because he isn't the right guy for you. His disappearance could be a reaction to your actions, which he might have interpreted as coming off too strong. We used to keep contact everyday, and the day before we even had cam talking for almost an hour! Please help But please do not reach out to him again. Thanks! she texted me straight up to ask if i was religious, what are my politics, and do i want kids and how many. There are people out there who dont care about anyone except themselves, people who are cold and cruel, and this guy sounds like one of them. We are both runners. I remember last conversation where he told me he misses me and our conversations..then a day later he went M.I.AI tried to phone him (not realizing this is actually him disappearing)2 days later I told myself well, I will not allow any man to do this to me.sure I cried for an hour, then dressed up, phoned my friends, poured my heart out and here I am still mad as hell at him, but obviously he was not the one and I decided that I am worth much more than the way he treated me / handled the situationI did however, knowing that he wouldnt reply) sent him a farewell message just to give myself that final peace of mind. No one. No response. Everything was fine, I really felt that he liked me and that he wanted to pursue me. Or like I said, perhaps we should bring back the hard times so we can get real men back. I havent dated in years and am not even sure how to date. But since the last brief text with him about a week ago.. I have been speaking to a younger guy I met online from.a different.city who seemed really nice he as been calling me..most night messaging me everyday told.me.im the girl he as rebooking for ect and we have been planning to meet.up then I started noticing he was speaking to other girls and taking.longer than usual to reply I guess he was doing the fade out thing so I dissent message him today at all I usually message him everyday then I got home from work went to message him on Facebook and he has blocked me wtf.i dont know what Ive done but theres a pattern emerging it has happened a few times before its really starting to annoy me.and im so hurt I speak to his friend who says I should give him space and hold out but I dont know weather I should just walk away I dont want to look pathetic ? One day he was here and then the next day, he was gone. i feel so sorry about your story, the same situation about to happen with me but Im lucky that he broke communication first. And now I have someone constantly poking me on Facebook and sending me stickers who I consider a new friend, maybe more. Its still not something ive completely solved but im a lot better than I was. I just got sucked into his web of lies. And our last fight went pretty bad. Told me about his work issues and finances he needs to fix. Instead of disappearing. 1) Usually not. He told you he wanted to hang and then never reached out again nor did he respond when you sent him the last message. Presents for his lil nephews cas they always talked to me over the phone and asked for kids stuff and hed always joke about how I never get them Just right after he drove me home he texted me he had a great time and thanked me for it. I was proud to say, Nope, I cant ever give you another shot, not after what you did twice to me. In that case confronting someone is warranted. Move forward alone girls and have a stress free life. Its been almost 2 weeks now. We texted, they started off playful and really just normal getting to know you textes.. Viber time stamp says that he was last online 30min after he texted me nd sknce then not online. But at the same time, the way I got lost in the area and was too egotistic to call him for directions was pretty hilarious. I cant believe they left us on such a cliffhanger. Havent talked it out but a bit of it seems to have been work stress. And yeah I am being a smart ass. I just get the line they think I deserve someone better, better looking, more money, more time, more brains. They tell me I am such an awesome catch but they cant give me what I deserve. But I have no expectations and they know this. There could be a million reasons as to why he ghosted you, but dont kid yourself on the likely reason(s). What is his deal and is there anyway to fix it?? HoweverI would hesitate to call this a true ghosting. yes. I felt it was more mutual, even though I wouldnt have mind continuing to date him because I really liked him, but I was fine either way. He read that message around 10 am when he was in class! no response to texts no phone calls no anything. after all that he went for the hug but not the kiss. The worst possible thing you can do is take it personally and start beating yourself up over it. He might ghost because he doesn't want to face the music and come clean that you're not right for him (and vice versa). I called that night to see if he was okay and he sent me straight to vm. I dont come from a dating culture. The last time I saw him was a week ago- Tuesday 23rd, just before we both went home for Christmas. Or maybe not to her in particular because he doesnt want to lead her on? I am glad to see all theses responses even though its painful for everyone. You think to yourself how can someone take advantage of you and use you then just disappear. I think this guy has a lot of issues he needs to deal with and that he doesnt even seem to be aware of.
