Default Guy i was dating.....need advice...!!?

I was dating a guy for a few weeks and went on some amazing dates, he was very affectionate to me. He would put himself out for me quite a bit so i know he liked me a lot and was very thoughtful.

He told me one day that we needed to stop seeing each other just while he sorted things out with his ex (who used to work for him). He still text and called me everyday for chats, and he said he was getting things sorted and was still single... so i was quite happy.

but now the chats have stopped and I'm confused on what to do, i invited him out for a drink but he said he was busy and that we could do it another day, but i haven't heard from him...

does he just need time for himself? should i just not contact him?

i like him a lot and i don't want him to forget (silly as it sounds)
won't i look clingy by contacting him?
he broke up with her because she was demanding and controlling (weird)

Call him and ask him if he has things sorted out yet. After all you deserve the respect and consideration as to knowing where you stand on all this..

Try a few more times and see if he goes out with you.

If he still doesn't call you or he's "busy" to go out with you, then I'm sorry but something happened that makes him don't want to see you. Only he knows what could be it.

I think you should just wait it out. Maybe he needs more time...Maybe he even wants to work things out with his ex (which sucks because you like him so much). You should wait for a week to see if he calls and if he doesn't you should give him a call and see if he's still interested in hanging out. And if not, don't stress about it at all. You guys were only together a few weeks...Not to sound like a jerk or anything but its possible that you could have just been a fall back relationship or something to make his ex jealous. Just try to be patient though.

Soz it sounds as if it is over to me.

If he wanted to text you he would do, if he wanted to phone you, he would do. He has tried to let you down gently.

Don't contact him again. He's keeping you in reserve and doesn't feel strongly enough about you to put himself out. I know that sounds incredibly harsh and he's obviously missing out but everything you've said implies that he wanted to keep you around but not enough to commit to dating again. And I really do understand how confusing those nice, affectionate dates are, trust me! But it's what happens after wards that counts. You've asked him out and he's dodged it so it's time to let it lie now.

If I'm wrong and he does like you then backing off, giving him space and letting him realize that you've got other things going on (you're in demand and won't hang around forever!) will make him want you more and he'll sort that drink out.

Good luck! x

Find out if this waiting around is for nothing or just don't contact him. He might be too punk to tell you he's chosen his ex, or he could still just be trying to figure it out. It seems like you've already made a good impression on him. There's not much more you can do because his heart has to be in it too--not forced. It's unfair of him to put you in this position because someones gonna lose.

When he says he's sorting things out with his ex, he's ultimately trying to get back with her if he can, otherwise, there would be nothing to "sort out." I would just forget about him and do my own thing for the time being, and hope that he realizes that he needs to move on. Only HE can really come to that conclusion for himself.

It shouldn't take more than a day or two to "sort things" out if he chooses to move on with you or chooses to stay with ex, or maybe he's just stalling because he feels it's easier being single. Don't let him just put you on the back burner like that and keep you around when it's convenient for him. If he's truly the GOOD GUY and worth fighting for, find out what went wrong in their relationship to begin with and reassure him that he can do better with you. But if you find yourself talking to a wall, then you should be the smarter one and move on past him.

Of course he was great AT FIRST, but you'll need to see that you're not the only girl in his world, which is the problem. Starting out anything with someone who already has EXbaggage is gonna cause more aggravation for YOU than he's worth. It's the first red flag for trouble ahead.
