Cos I don't!
I have been seeing this lad since late last year. We hit it off brilliantly, had loads in common, loads to talk about, very easy to talk to, laugh loads when together. Only saw each other a couple of times a week due to distance and the fact that I didn't want to take things too quickly. But whenever I said I was free, he'd be there.
Thing is, when we are apart he doesn't seem to bother with me. Since we met, there have been 4 or 5 instances when we haven't spoken for 2 weeks!! Then one of us will give in and we'll meet up and both admit how much we missed each other, love each other etc and promise never to do it again. The last twice it has been me giving in. I went on hols beginning of month and he phoned/text me every day saying he wanted to get married, move in together etc etc. He was really over the top keen and as soon as I got back he was round saying he couldn't believe how much he missed me. And so I started to think things were on the up.
Anyway, the next time I was due to meet him he didn't turn up. I rang him and he said I had said a different time. I hadn't. And I know he didn't really think that. So I left it. I had a text saying 'sorry, I really wanted to see you today' but I didn't reply and I've heard nothing since. Ten days now.
This man is known for his mind games, but I thought I wouldn't fall for them, even if it meant me making the first move all the time. But to be honest I'm sick of it now.
Time to move on??
