See the neighbor does ask me out and starts us trying a relationship he says. Then just when we get really close and things are going great like 2-3 months in he pulls back, saying he can’t risk us losing our relationship as neighbors if it doesn’t work out. This is the second time he’s done it. He said this time he doesn’t know why he keeps coming to me and wanting to be around me and keeps asking himself the same thing over and over. Frankly it pisses me off but it does hurt too. And what makes it especially hard for me is that we are neighbors sharing the driveway and I have to see him nonstop and suddenly he’s just gotten quiet as can be. For no apparent reason either. Part of me wants to go off when I do see him and the other part is he can drop dead. He promised me he’d be upfront and honest and yet it’s this passive aggressive attitude and behavior like a child. And what hurts is how he bashed my ex and even the very night he said this time he can’t risk us ruining what we have if we don’t work so he’s “stopping us for now” he promised he’d never just use me and it wasn’t that – yet this behavior screams that at me. I just don’t get it and I don’t know how I should be. Isn’t he ruining it by acting this way on his own? How do I react to him now when he tries being all nice when we run into each other (which he always does and we are bound to do)? Why would he suddenly act that way?
