So my friends Husband introduced me to one of his co-workers. We hung out for 2 1/2 weeks and went out to dinner and movies every weekend and bowling & being with friends every night for 2 1/2 weeks sraight. Then one night after we went on a double date wit my sister and her BF he told me he just wanted to be friends we were moving to fast. How does hanging out for 2 1/2 weeks move to fast? I didn't even try 2 kiss him or do ne-thing because I wanted to take things slow as we were just getting to know each other. And yet he says we are friends but he doesn't bother to contact me at all. I text him every now and then but he rarely responds..Should I move on or Should I keep trying to work this out? I really like the guy so I'm confused...

Blondie2222,
Like two side of a coin, it is just part of the deal as you accept Love into your life. When you open the floodgate, you take in all things, both good and bad.
If you are weary about his intention, avoid taking haste and making irrational decision.
You might have like him, but it doesn't mean that he is suitable for you.
Hence, your next course of action would be to figure out if he is the right fit - at least a comfortable fit.
Halt that emotions for just a moment first - enjoy the companionship naturally, without placing yourself into some self-constructed commitment. Since you both are still within the 'friendship' zone, then behave and think likewise (albeit you probably will not be able to feel along this direction, but that's alright).
Take care.

i believe they should strengthen they're companion ship an let it flow from there, don't haste since the fast the relationship starts is the fast they go. probably they should let a guy do thing and not her.

well i guess this guy has other matters to take care of. maybe he is already in a relationship and confused too like you. when i guy likes a girl they are the one who comes after them. when a guy likes a girl when the girl send a text message he will be very excited and sure be responding it and pray that she will still respond back. so i guess you need to think is it all worth it to put a foundation of feelings to someone who is kinda cold on you. like you said you like him but going out with you does not really shows enough if he likes you too. i am a guy and during the time when i met my wife back then.... when she text me i try to make sure we will be texting for long hours not just simple hi and hello. so try to think deeper, you dont like to get hurt on some signs you see as early as this. just my opinion.

He's not in another relationship. He hasnt had one in 3 yrs since his last ex hurted him bad. So I'm thinking hes not over her yet and by hanging out with me all that time got him thinking and that's why he's pushing back. But i'm just going to let him be and move on and look elsewhere.

I think you need to cool it off this time. It seems like that he is not interested anymore. We don't know his reasons yet but the more you push on him the more you might turn him off. Usually guys are easily turned off for women who so aggressive. As you know men are always double standard. I'm sure there would be someone who be worth your time. don't rush things the perfect guy will come soon.

I'm sorry he is being like that, but honestly if he is being that flakey after only a few weeks- it does not sound like it will be worth your effort to pursue. If he is pulling away and not responding- it is really not a good sign. I think it is everyone's gut reaction to pursue and contact more when you feel like you are losing someone, but contacting him without getting responses back is not going to help. My opinion is that you should let it go- even if you really like him, and find another person that will treat you well, return calls and not be flakey like this guy.

Yea I guess you're right. I deserve someone better that will lik me for me and won't take advantage of me. I think that's what he was trying to do and since I pulled back and didn't make a move on him thats what made him change his mind. But I hate moving too fast like that i'm not like that anyways. I'll just have to keep on searching and hopefully I'll find Mr Right soon.

Maybe you should just leave it. Seeing the guy every day for 2 and a half weeks can be perceived as being a little intense. In my experience, getting to know someone happens over a few dates at the weekends and maybe a telephone call during the week. Spending every day with you like that may have just seemes a littel bit intense to him. If I were you I would just forget about it and move on.

It wasn't all my idea to hang out every day. He always texted me when I got off work asking what I was doing for the night and wanted to do something. Plus he aksed me to go out of town with him on a trip and I declined because I didn't know him that well yet. So really its both of us and not just him. I just really wanted things to work! But Like you said I guess i'm just gonna have to move on and forget about it.

yea, try to lay cool for a while. its common psychology that that the guy will take interest in you if you dont take interest in him for a while. You also need to develop trust in order to proceed! (happy dating!)

DO you love your husband? If you do, just leave that guy alone. Your family will be destroyed by that guy. The guy is trying to avoid you because your husband is his friend. Are you sure that you really like that guy? Maybe you are just confused because he is giving you the attention that you need that your husband can't give to you because he is busy in his work. Just focus your attention with different things.

It's time to move on. Probably in the middle of getting-to-know you stage he realized he wanted something else, or someone else (sorry if this hurts). Whatever reason he has, you have to focus on other things, go out with other guys. You deserve someone better, and I'm sure there's someone out there who is meant for you and will reciprocate your feelings.

He told me that he really liked me and he wante to try and havea relationship with me. And then he says he just wants to be friends and we would still talk and he hasnt tried communicating with me since that day.

hi,
i guess its better for you to move on, go on girl..maybe that time you were able to know him is enough to really accept that he is just that kind of man. maybe it is not meant to be so better leave it. when the right man comes along then its destined to be happen. just wait until your man comes.

I'm guessing he's into another woman. Don't take it the wrong way, but this guy was only trying to check up on you, are you being easy or not ? Since you barely make a move on him, maybe he thought you were playing hard to get, and looks for another fish to catch. My advice, forget him, coz what you see in him might be fake.

In my experience, the slower you go, the better. And never try really hard to make it work out.
If a guy really likes you, for you... then he'll be happy talking and chatting.
If he just wants your body, if it's just a physical thing, then he'll quickly push for more physical relationships. The fact he asked you to go with him on a trip, is a bad sign in my book. Sounds like he wants an easy score.
Sometimes, time itself, is the only way to tell how deep the relationship really is.

Hello blondie,
Two and half weeks is too fast, some people spend time together in YEARs, before some one get's to fall in love.let it be for months or at least a year then check if you still have the same feelings, maybe you're just enjoying the ways of your hanging out and enjoy time together, relationship goes both sides and you two are just having a great time.

If both of are single, then there is nothing problem with that. The problem I see there is that, you are moving too fast. You should not give your full trust to him because he may not be serious to you. You try to find out something to him if he is the one you really like. Just be a good friend and feel him that you take care. Sometimes, men will leave his girl after he took what he wanted to get from you physically.
