jemkatkitty Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Alright, well a little background: I've known this guy for about 12 years and he just got divorced last year and is now a single dad. We started talking again via text and Facebook... I made a trip down to where he lives to go to a family members wedding and we hung out pretty much the whole time. At the end of my trip he asked if I would consider moving back down to be with him and I said yes.. probably. But now that I'm back home his texts and things have slowed WAY down. But in his defense he is a single dad and works nights so I can see where theres not a lot of time for things like that. He just doesn't seem all that interested in talking to me anymore.. I dunno maybe he isn't over his ex still. Anyway, I HAVE read the book "He's just not that into you." And I know to give him space and not seem needy and ask him why he hasn't texted me. I'm normally the kind of girl who doesn't give a crap if a guy texts her or not but this is a different case for me because him and I make a really great couple. Any suggestions?
curlygirl40 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Live your life and just wait to see what he does with it. Definitely do not make any permanent plans to move for this guy if he has backed off now that you're not there. Time will tell with this one. The fact that he's backing off and not as attentive is not a good sign. Date other people, don't chase him but do respond to this guy if he reaches out. In time you'll know his interest level by his actions.
FitChick Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 He's only been divorced a year. He is overwhelmed taking care of his kid. Not a good candidate for a long distance relationship which can be stressful.
grkBoy Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Stay in touch, but keep your options open. You never know...you're trying to make it happen with him, but suddenly you meet some charming man in your own neck of the woods and thus you'll think differently.
