I broke up with him because I was scared, should I try to get him back?

I was dating a great guy for a several weeks, he is sweet, honest and total gentlemen. I really like him, but I got scared and broke it off with him!! Asked if we can remain friends he said ok, but been distance. I asked him to have dinner with me so I can own up and be honest as I was afraid to get attached to him. But he wouldn't let me apologize, told me I didn't have to say sorry. He thinks I was apologizing for breaking up with him..

 

I asked if we can rewind the last 2 weeks, or has he checked out? He told me he doesn't want to give me the wrong idea if I'm looking for total exclusivity. Assuming he's saving face and feeling rejected!!

How can I make it right again? Do he still like me?

You have a pretty solid chance. Be clear about your intentions and what happened. You will most likely get back together.

Yep, try and get a face to face. Ask for dinner again maybe ?

 

Then be clear and honest. Hopefully he'll understand. Don't push it onto him though (rewind the last 2 weeks, can't change past !). Be truthful and sincere with how you feel and what you want.

 

If he's genuine and honest he should understand.

Try only if you're sincere. Are you sure you won't flake again?

 

If you aren't sure then leave him be. If he's really a great a guy as you say, he deserves better.

I panicked and broke up with an amazing guy too.

 

If you're sure you want him back then yes definitely try. Think about why you broke it off. Was it just the panick or were there other things? Once you tell him he might need some space to think and if that's what he wants then allow him that. If you really want him then find ways to tell him, you'll regret it otherwise.

 

Read my thread about what happens when you don't

I would like to ad: Be direct. Don't assume. If you think he is scared, ask him. If he isn't man enough to admit that, I wouldn't bother anymore.
