If he kisses you and then ignores you...

For the second time! He's an arse yes?

He's only ignoring any phone contact, when I saw him the other day he was still doing the prolonged eye contact/smiling - too far away to speak to though.

I've texted him twice since the kiss and not heard back, that's my cue to back off isn't it?

Not had to deal with men and relationships in 10 years and this is both confusing and annoying

Sounds like a bell end. On your way!

Life is too short to waste it on someone who likes to play games.

Sounds like he enjoys the ego boost of the texts and your reaction to his flirting.

I suggest you delete his number and when he comes for round 3 of his little ego boosting game with your feelings - you tell him to sling his hook!

But first make sure you have the number correct! Have you tried actually calling or just sent a text?

But, yes, essentially, I'd back away from this.

Yep both have iPhones so I just text from the previous conversation.

He did this the last time we kissed, should have disappeared then! This was supposed to be some uncomplicated fun, he's got absolutely no reason to be playing games! Not sure why I'm so bothered by it but it's really pissing me off Angry

Hi OP! Goodness - I know EXACTLY how you feel, only sadly for me it was more than just a kiss...Blush. I had been with my EXH for 16 years when an old ex of mine turned up and, yes, I fell for him again (vulnerable) and believed all the shite he fed me. Of course, once he'd slept with me he backed off BIG TIME and has left me confused and angry and, like you, extremely pissed off. I'm 40, he's 43 - you'd think men of that age would be past all the game playing stuff wouldn't you? But no. Don't dwell, and try to move on (though it's REALLY hard - I know I still think about him ALL the time and keep asking what I did to deserve that at this age!). Good Luck xxx

Yes - back away. He's obviously not ready for anything, or sees you as a distraction when he feels like it!

AnyFucker · 28/02/2013 21:08

it's not "uncomplicated fun" then

save your self respect and cool it with the texting
