Widower of one year

I’m doing a long distance relationship. I knew him in high school and occasionally saw each other at hometown events. We were talking for about 6 months and decided to meet to see if there was any attraction. There was but he started to have guilty feelings and has backed away. It’s been hard to get back to the fun we had communicating on the phone. I still feel the same way and I know I’m a different page of the relationship, I know not to push him, be supportive but I feel the distance. Help!!!

It's not clear from your post whether you're currently in a LDR with him or not?

Either way, I'd just drop this one. You're way more invested then he is, and he's clearly not ready to be in a relationship now, and had made that very clear.

If he’s been widowed only a year sounds like he wanted a distraction rather than a relationship.

He's not ready for anything yet.
