    Hi April… I met this guy a few months back and we hit it off from the word go! Unfortunately it was bad timing as I was fresh out of a long relationship and he was due to go overseas for a few months. We decided to give it a go and enjoy each others time while he was here but things got very intense quickly and we both agreed to stop seeing each other as we were falling for one another. I didn’t hear from him until he was OS, he would call/text me often saying that he missed me and was thinking of me and so on. He said the whole time that he wanted us to be together when he got back and he talked a lot about our future together. Well, months on and he has now been back for a few weeks. We saw each other almost every day for the first week and things were feeling like they were before he left. He still spoke about our future and wanted us to build a life together. After that initial week I saw him and he told me that he was not ready for commitment and didn’t want to lead me on, he said that he wanted us to be friends as he enjoyed my company. I was shocked to say the least and told him that I could not see myself being his ‘friend’ as I felt that he lead me on the whole time to believe he wanted more. You see, he has been married before quite young and I am thinking that maybe because of this he is a bit damaged. My question is, why all this time would he say this and back off when he had the real opportunity to be with me? I feel like I could of had a great relationship with this person and can not stop thinking about him, should I try and talk to him or would that make me out to be a crazy person? I believe that if he really wanted to be with me then he would not stop at anything to do so, but should I at least fight for him or try?

    Either his feelings really did change as he got to know you and got to know himself (this happens!), or he was never that interested in a long-term relationship to begin with, and said what he said because he wanted to keep you in the game, or because he was just thinking about the moment, not the long term.

    He’s already made himself clear. It’s not a good idea to try and talk a guy into being with you, if he’s decided after a few months of dating that he’s no longer interested.

    You’re right — that if he really wanted to be with you he wouldn’t stop at anything…. but he doesn’t want you any more. Don’t fight for a man who told you it’s over. Respect his decision — and be very glad that he’s not stringing you along and wasting your time. Rejection is actually a gift because there are lots of men who won’t think you’re their cup of tea — and lots of men who you will reject simply because they’re not right for you in your opinion — and that sets you free to find someone who is. 🙂
