EmEden Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 I was seeing a guy where I volunteer, we had known each other for a year. We did all the dating things, romantic evenings, a very fancy dinner, we did sleep in the same bed but never had sex. (for about 3 months) He had to move about 1 hour away for work for a few months. Basically we called one day and he said to me he's not looking for anything serious right now and wants to still stay friends. Obviously we have different values. But, I don't really understand why he would end it with me and want 'platonic' while he's still involved with his highschool ex? She never came up when we were together, he always said she was his 'buddy' prior. But when he moved for work I recently saw a picture of them together at an event, with hearts in the caption (her doing). I remembered when I did meet her (before this guy and I expressed interest in each other) they would hold hands, sleep over, she would text him hearts, ask him why he didn't invite her to x events and etc. He would respond coldly so that's why I never cared to think on it, they also were not dating at any point. TL;DR :Basically I meet him, he's got a fling with this girl from highschool but doesn't date her, stringing her. He asks me out a year later, we have wonderful chemistry and times together, he moves, wants to be friends with me but he's obviously seeing his ex now. (We are 20/21 yrs old) Why would a guy string a long a highschool fling? But end it with a new girl to be 'friends'? Ego thing? Anyone had a similar experience?
