Is Karma f-ing with me?

[konfuzd]

I know right away I'm probably over-thinking this whole situation, but that's unfortunately how girls' minds are programmed....

 

It's one of the typical situations where I've met someone new, we've gone out a few times, all the stars seem to be in perfect alignment when we are together, then *snap* without warning he stops calling, no explanation. He leaves things with, "Let's go out tomorrow night", and now a week has passed with no call.

 

Normally, I'd pull the "he's just not that into you" line, and move on... but it's one of those things where it just feels that fate played some part in bringing us together and it seems such a shame to let it just slip away.

 

Here's a little background:

 

The first time I met him, I had a bf. He was behind me in line for beer tickets at a festival, just as he started flirting, my bf showed up, and put an end to it.... I was happy in my relationship at the time, so I kind of forgot about it. (other than the initial, "bummer, that guy was WAAAY better looking than bf").

 

About a week after I broke up with the bf, I end up running into this other guy at the bar. He remembered me, and approached me, although it took a while to place where we had met before... (he forgot about the bf interruption)... In a city of over a million people, what really are the chances?? Anyway, we ended up having an amazing night, stayed out until 3am, athough he had to work at 6, and I at 8 am. He called me the next day, told me he had to phone his best friend on his lunch break just to tell him what a great night he had... He phoned me again the next 2 nights, talking on the phone for hours (we both normally hate talking on the phone)... and we've had several wicked dates since, each one ending with a comment about how great it is that we met. (no action, not even a kiss). We were talking every other day, now a week has passed...

 

Here are my theories on what went awry:

 

1- I am a very open, honest person... he obviously knew about the ex, so he asked when we broke up, and I told him straight that it was about a week prior to our first date. Yes, I was still in the healing process, but I was in NO way seeking a rebound, I was not planning on meeting anyone that night, but wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to go out with him. I felt that meeting him was a step up to bigger and better things for me. He seemed ok with it, yet I feel there may be some hesitation on his part.

 

2- He gives off the vibe that he might be a player. (I usually assume this of every guy who is rediculously good looking, well-mannered, good sense of humor, but for some reason hasn't had a real gf in 5 years). He hasn't even tried to make a move on me, so I wonder if maybe he's just afraid of giving up his player lifestyle, since he knows I'm not a one-night kind of girl, and I think he has more respect for me than to treat me like one anyways.

 

We had discussed the idea that karma had brought us together, because we were both going through some rough times in our lives and felt that we were eachother's salvation. We were meant to be that one good thing which could negate the bad.

 

I know, it's only been a week, and not like we were serious or anything, I'm not really distraught or anything, just a little baffled. Any input on why guys string girls along, and just cut the cord one day? (we had a discussion about the "thrill of the chase" thing before, and he said he's totally not into that, so maybe that's why it's so konfuzing)
