Why do men do THIS- need to vent!!

Met a guy online about six weeks ago, tall, dark, v scrummy and a perfect gentleman.

We go on, oooh about six dates, he introduces me to his friends, he stays at mine 3x ( we didn't quite get the deed done but came close...)

So far so good.

We had a right laugh together. He texts me most days. He drops hints about coming to visit more often ( notes nearby train stations etc. )

Then, he goes away for a week, but doesn't arrange to meet just before he goes. . .I find this weird and ask him: 'Do you want to see me again?' Yes he says does, I am 'great' apparently and he will drop me a line when he gets back. Then no text, no calls, zip for seven days.

I wait. Text him on his return. "hey good holiday? What's going on?' type thing. . And nothing. Not a peep. I don't even know if he's okay.

Why the feck can't men just say: 'I am not interested, sorry. . . '

This has happened to several of my girlfriends and seems so, well, immature. I've done it plenty of times- simple text: 'sorry don't want to take things further, goodbye and take care. . .'

Obv he has decided he doesn't want to take things further, but I really liked the guy and have been looking forward to his return etc. Can't believe he's actually just going to 'leave it' and not even say it !!!

  1. delete his number
  2. purchase gin & tonic
  3. invite female friend over
  4. have gin session and a bloody good laugh about the size of his willy.

Some men enjoy being teased. You might say a bit immature though.

Actually it's probably immature to treat sex like some magical commodity as you did. If you don't enjoy it enough to want it within 3 stay overs... wow, I wonder what must make you finally want it.

Sounds like sex is work/enjoyable/too serious-important (take your pick of these) to you for it to ever be fun.

I think on balance men are too timid to go for the emotional fallout if they can avoid it. I had 2 long and serious relationships (I was actually engaged to one!)many many years back where both men just didn't show up at a date- this was after years of dating!! - and this was their way of saying "enough"! Needless to say, we did talk and I did't let them walk away without an explanation.

I think it's bad form for either a man or woman not to say they don't want to take it further. Maybe when I was 15, iwould avoid talking to boys who phoned ( no mobiles in my youth)- got my mum to answer and say I was out- hoping that ater 6 attempts they'd get the message- but as adults i think we have to be more caring.

If you are on the dating scen and are happy to meet guys/women, then you have to have the decency to say you don't want to meet any more. It's just courtesy.

OP_ I am so sorry- just keep thinking that if this is how he behaves you are worth a lot more.
