How do you play this?

[StinkFoot]

Hi, i have namechanged for this.
Im just wondering what you would do about this. I was seeing a guy years ago, quite regularly but he lived a 1 1/2 drive away and it was always me going to his. He didnt treat me great if were honest. So i broke it off.
Now 3 years later he seems to have grown up a bit had a long term relationship that finished last year. Ive just gone through a very bad break up myself so im really cautious. So he has been texting me & calling me quite regularly but it kind of faded about 3 weeks ago, was me texting him with no reply. Then the odd missed call but when i called back id get no answer.
Anyway, last night i went out & for the first time in months actually felt great about myself. Had some nice pictures took & have uploaded them to facebook.
He has obviously seen these so i get a text. 'Hi hope your well. Im really really sorry i didnt get back to you before, ive been snowed under at work with the weather. You look absolutley stunning in your pictures on facebook. xx'
(hes a farmer btw)

Sorry for the long post, How do i play this? Im foreign to this!

Leave him be and get on with the rest of your life. It sounds like he thinks you might be handy to keep on the back burner for when he fancies a shag and there's no one else around.

Tell him thanks and move on.

Sounds like a bit of a waste of time to be honest, if you are already questioning things at this stage it may be that things aren't meant to be.

If he didn't treat you great the first time round, I doubt he will have changed that much to be a perfect partner this time round.

Agree with SGB. Ignore his messages from now on and move on.

Also, I thought until last week the weather had been shit and so farmers weren't as busy as they would normally be in the summer!

Thanks guys

As SGB says never ever go back! If he hadn't seen your FB piccies he would have continued to ignore you! You don't want to be with someone who has this level of standards do you!
Just in the knowing what he gave up all those years ago...you will meet someone else who will respect and treat you like a lady! Now your turn to ignore his text messages...just desserts!

Coming from a farming family , I can tell you that is a genuine excuse, farmers have been catching up with all their work now the weather is good.

But! He could have just sent you a text saying - I'm sorry. So busy with work, rather than ignore you for three weeks.....

No excuse for not dropping you a text to say he was busy, even out of common courtesy, if nothing more.
I'd ignore him now but would be tempted to reply to his last text "thanks for the compliment, the guy I met at the weekend thought I looked stunning too, bye" :)
