He's just after attention isn't he?

[cheeriolovey]

I was seeing someone for about 5 months, we'd see each other around once / twice a week more like a FWB situation. I liked him ALOT and he told me he was in love with me.

I last seen him about 3 weeks ago and since he's gone quiet on me, I had a feeling this was "the end" anyway. I'm stubborn so haven't once tried contacting him since, he hasn't me either.

Yesterday afternoon he rings me randomly, to ask something completely pointless I was busy so told him I couldn't chat. I was surprised and quite glad he reached out because I miss him a lot, but I'm thinking he's only called because I haven't bothered reaching out/chasing him?

Not sure why you are both ignoring each other if he's in love with you and you like him a lot. I think you both need to sit down and lay your cards on the table about what you both want.

Well, if neither of you was contacting the other, one of you had to be the one to break the deadlock, didn’t they?

Why all the game playing? Life’s too short. If you’re not interested enough to contact him for three weeks just call it a day rather than make it into a “who’ll relent first” exercise. It doesn’t sound like a FwB situation - which is generally characterised by more casual and intermittent communication - is actually what you want. Either tell him that or give it up.

Yep been in this situation and its just pointless. Someone who wants to be with you doesn't play games over contact and nor would you. Best thing I've read recently is to just be your authentic self.

I've not bothered contacting him, because I felt like he was losing interest, he has history of being a player so I thought I'd leave it and see if he bothers. He's the type that would love it if I was chasing after him

Pretend you're both grown ups and have a proper conversation

I think you’re both as childish as each other

You’re both playing games.

Half term, isn't it?
