I was seeing this guy for about 2.5 months and about 10 days ago, I ended things with him.
I really really liked this guy, but there were plenty of red flags and deal-breakers involved and after confiding my concerns to my BFF, I decided to be strong and end things with him. During our conversation, I told him I liked him a lot and had great times with him, but that after thinking things over, felt that there was no chance we would/could ever work out. I expected him to beg and plead and change my mind...or at least act a little sad, but his response to me was, "Okay, so we are done then?" And I concurred and he stated, "Okay then...Good-bye." Over the past week, I expected him to at least text me once to see how I was, or maybe even to sway me to change my mind. So far nothing. This is making me think that he must never have really liked from the get-go, because if he did, wouldn't he at least try to change my mind regarding breaking up? Or at least cry a little that he doesn't want it? He just seemed like he was okay with my decision and accepted it fully. Here's the weird part. This past week or so, I have been missing him like crazy. I have to put my phone up so I don't keep checking it and I am going nuts not texting or calling him. The fact that he reacted this way makes me want him back. What gives??!! |
Wtf? What does his rxn have to do with it? Do you want to be with him or not? What were the deal breakers? |
OP wants to be chased and sounds like a game-player to me. Dude's probably better off. |
WTF! You broke up with him. |
How old are you OP? |
You are so quick to dish out the rejection but you can't take it yourself? You showed him you don't want him, yet you want him to run after you like some puppy dog? Not nice! |
you want to be wanted. this doesn't change any of the reasons you called things off with him. stick to your guns and move onward. |
Good for him. You made your bed, now deal with it. |
go over to the explicit forum and sign up for a new boyfriend. looks like it is relatively easy... |
by someone you don't want. 'bit nuts aren't ya? |
This is not surprising. My brothers once told me that the best way for a guy to get a woman's attention is to act indifferent towards the woman - especially in a breakup. OP, this guy just flipped the balance of power. You did not want him but his indifference about the breakup has you wondering.....
Stay strong girl and walk away. |
Of course the thread title makes me think of the old joke:
I really miss my ex. But I'm taking marksmanship so I won't make that mistake next time. |
Why would he call you when you broke up with him? That's something a woman would do.
You had your reason for breaking it off. Stick to them. |
It was only 2.5 months. I wouldnt call or be thinking about someone I dated for that little time who said we needed to go separate ways. |
OP, you're just pathetic. Your ego really needs that kind of validation? You want to know that he's feeling hurt and that will make you feel better about yourself? Stop playing games and act like an adult.
You decided to put on your Big Girl Panties and now you have to wear them. |
