    Right so I will try to be as brief as I can…

    On a trip back to my home country, I met my current long distance boyfriend. We instantly got along and spent everyday together during my short stay (3weeks) so we decided to maintain contact and when I got home things were really good, we would speak ALL the time, video chat every night for hours! so it has been just over 6 weeks since I have returned and things are not looking good, I feel like I’m putting in much more effort than he is, the last few days he has been acting very distant, not replying to my messages but he’d call me and speak for 5 minutes and every time I try to ask him why he hasn’t contacted me or replied he would make up an excuse and flip it on me and ask why I haven’t contacted him!! I have a trip planned to go back in a couple of months but at this rate Im not sure if this will work out, I really do want it to and I have actually grown to love him as we have gotten to know each other very well! I know it might sound a bit odd but I really do care about him but I feel like I’m losing him and I don’t know what to do! Please help, Im not the type of person who would message and ring someone a lot, I ring once and thats it until he rings me.. but things are different with him, I get really wound up when he doesn’t reply. PLEASE HELP

    Thank you for the extra information — your ages! 🙂

    So, here’s the facts about your relationship. About 9 weeks ago, you met a guy on a trip and spent three great weeks with him. Then you left that country, came home, and after 6 weeks, the communication between the two of you has cooled. He’s losing interest, and you’re wondering if you should take a trip you planned, back to see him.

    What I can tell you is that if a guy stops contacting you, it means he’s losing interest. If you press him for reasons, you’re going to push him away further. Getting a guy to chase after you takes different skills than demanding accountability or imposing expectations — especially after such a short period of time together. So, if you want to be more alluring and attractive to him, don’t press him, don’t call him, and when he does contact you, be the woman he wants — not the one he feels he has a failed obligation to. 😉

    Next, I would tell you not to take a trip back to see him. Let him chase you — if he does, you’ll know how he feels about you, and you’ll be giving him the opportunity to chase after you — something that men really do love to do when they’re into a woman.

    Long distance relationships are very different than in town relationships, and there has to be a commitment to the relationship in order to make it work. When you’re still getting to know each other during the first three months of the relationship, it’s really the time to decide if you still want to continue to date each other or not. He may be realizing he doesn’t — and that’s normal within this time period.

    I hope this helps.
