Can anyone offer an explanation as to why he is giving me the runaround? Did I scare him off?

Question - (19 January 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 19 January 2007)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

An ex that I truly loved has now been trying to see me again.

We became a long distance relationship (we only dated for 6 months but were friends for 3 months beforehand, and I was so deeply in love with him)...

It ended because of the distance (although treated me badly as didn't explain to me it was over!) - and I was deeply hurt.

Since this, we didn't speak for 6 months.

However, we have since been in touch. He called me last week (for the first time in 2 months) to tell me he would like to visit me this weekend - he is in town. Because I had never had any closure with him, just hearing his voice caused all my old upset to surface, and I know that I became weak on the phone - the first time I'd shown him my emotions. I told him I didn't know whether to see him again, as I didn't want him to upset me. Unfortunately, my tone of voice was quivery as opposed to assertive!

He was still keen to meet with me, and told me to think about it. I eventually agreed to see him again, curious to know why he now wanted to see me, and because I still loved him. In my heart of hearts, I wanted to hear him say he'd missed me and wanted to get back together. I know he still has feelings for me, but seems to be more immature/confused that I'd first thought. We agreed he would call me when he arrives in my country.

Anyway, he is in my town now - here for 5 days, but hasn't called! Of course, I feel very let down, all over again.

Can anyone offer an explanation as to why he is giving me the runaround? He's in his late 20s and I my early 30s.

Have I blown it by showing too much emotion and scared him off for good this time?

Thanks all.

Ponungalungb agony auntWhen I first started reading your note, I thought I was reading another letter from a 13 - 15 year old. Then I realized how old you are.

Forget this guy. And if he calls again, hang up.

Your wasting way too much emotion on a dead beat.

Good luck!
