Hi All
Just unsure what to think and i am hoping you could perhaps share your perspective.
Dated a lovely guy years ago. I ended it but was i stupid to as he is so lovely.
He has got back in touch about 3 weeks ago. He messages lots. Lots of lovely messages, heart emojis, says nice things. However, he never picks up the phone. He has actually once. He has had a busy couple of weeks being away but he never makes plans to meet up despite him saying i was his one regret that he did not fight for me years ago.
Do i mention that it would be nice to meet up, although i feel he knows how i feel and that i would love to. Or do i just hope this progresses from being text friends to eventually meeting up?
I feel like i am 12 again.

Thanks in advance x

Why did you end it? What's changed?

"I feel he knows how i feel and that i would love to."

How does he know?

Let’s meet on Thursday. Yes or no.

Perhaps he doesn't know how you feel as you ended it.. why did you end it previously? Might he be holding on to that if from his perspective nothing has changed?

Did you end it because you weren't attracted to him, for example, so may think it's a friendship rather than potential for romance..?

I'd definitely initiate a meet - that'll speak volumes and you won't be left second guessing!

Roxy75 · 18/08/2022 16:09

We are both very flirty with each other, definitely more than friends. We split up cos he was a nice guy and i guess i didn't appreciate him the way that older me now appreciates nice guys.

What do you mean, you split up because he was nice? Do you mean you found him boring?

I think as you ended it with him, the onus is on you to be clear and ask him out.

You have to ask him out because you rejected him once already. The chemistry is there so go for it try again.

Doesn't answer his phone, doesn't seem to want to meet up, intense messaging - married or in a relationship is my guess.

Don’t bother hes taking the mick because its a quiet night on bumble or what ever other dating sites are out there.

Yes

Ask him.

He might be dicking about and be married.

He might also be waiting for a clear sign you're interested and not also doing the same.

As you were thenne who ended it, I also think the onus is on you to suggest meeting up with a definite plan.
