Casual fling versus genuine interest

Question - (13 December 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 14 December 2011)

Dear Friends,

I don't know whether i'm self-destructive or whether these kinds of guys are just NOT for me.. As soon as i broke up with my boyfriend i met a guy. Naturally when you break up you sometimes need some time before proceeding with a new relationship. This new guy was all over me, calling me everyday and showing really lots of signs that he was interested in me. I went out with him a couple of times but it was obvious that i was not crazy about him (because i was still thinking of my ex). I think this was quite obvious to him but too but he kept calling me and trying to be in contact. After two weeks of being in contact ( and after going out 5-6 times) i started getting attracted to him ). One day he did not contact me so i called him and he did not pick up the phone ( it was actually the first time i took the initiative to call him). Then i text him and eventually he called me back to tell me that he wanted a relationship but it seemed that i did not want the same thing. I tried to explain to him that i had just broke up from another relationship so i needed some time. He said, okay you should have told me but that's it. We hung up the phone and i text him to give me another chance and he did not reply. What do you really think of a guy who behaves like this? Personally I think that if a man behaves like this it means that he just wants a casual fling and hence he is not interested in giving a second chance. I look forward to hearing your views Many thanks, Lola

The bloke sounds like a bit of an arse. If he truly cared he would have been more empathetic from the start and taken things more slowly. And if he was really interested he'd keep in touch with you and bide his time because you'd still be on his mind.

He's not for you. Take your time getting over the last relationship and be very selective about future partners.

It is better getting over your ex before you get into another. It avoids hurting the other or getting yourself caught on the rebound. I dont think the new guy is all that bothered either way about anything.
