I have become friends with a guy over the past year through work and have always liked. He has split from his girlfriend in the past 3 weeks (mutual break up). For about 2 months before they broke up he was calling and messaging me a few times a week to chat or catch up for lunch etc. as we both work on the road.

We have ended up spending the night together twice since his split and we both agreed it was amazing and he seems to like being with me. He told me not to fall in love because he has to be single for a while. I respect that. But now he is not contacting me as much. When i do see him though we hug and seem to have a connection.

Should I just leave him be and hope he comes after me or give up completely? Was I just an escape?

thanks Rouge,

He told me because between his last girlfriend and the one before he was single for a week. He has not been alone for a long time and needs time to himself. He said he does no want to date and concentrate on his sport again and getting fit. I guess it means me time. He is still calling me for long chats every few days so i will just let him do the chasing.

Being single for a while? What does it mean? No responsibilities or no sex, no girls or lot's of girs? May be he is lookig for Ms Right? Try to talk to him and understand what is he up to.

Think about what do you whant from him and in what time framework.

I hope it will help.

sappygirl agony auntYeah..i have to say you were the rebound girl to get over his ex. He likes YOU but not that into you.

He wants to "see what's out there"...meaning sleep with as many women as he can. So unless you want to be that girl for him ..you should leave him alone.

When he told you not to fall in love with him..he's saying he has no emotional commitment to you. It's only sex to him and nothing more.

Just keep him as a close friend until he decides he is ready for a relationship, that way you are there for him when he is ready.xx :)
