To tell you the truth he’s more than a friend; I have fancied him for a very long time and he has expressed the same feelings towards me over the last few months. We met at the gym a couple of years back, he’s an instructor there. We got to each other casually over the first year, and then this year he started acting differently towards me. He eventually told me that he really liked me and wanted to take things further than friendship. After many e-mails, text messages declaring how he felt and what he dreamt of we finally planned to meet out side of the gym … on a date. He stood me up that night telling me that he wasn’t over his ex-girlfriend yet and didn’t think it would be fair on me to get involved like this. I let things cool off and started treating like a friend as before. About a month ago he came to me and told me that he regretted that night and that he still wanted to be with me. I saw him this Saturday morning and we talked about meeting that evening. When I sent him a message at the end of the day he replied by asking who I was (!!) … he didn’t have my number saved in his phone!! I replied by asking whether the conversation that same morning was only talk … he never replied! I eventually spoke to him on messenger that night; he basically said that he was tired and asked if we could put it off to the following day … I said maybe! We haven’t spoken since and will most probably bump into him tonight! I don’t know whether I should ignore him, laugh in his face or tell him what I think! I’m not miserable because I’m not in love but I do feel hurt by his lack of respect towards me. How should I react when I see him tonight?

reader, anonymous, writes (16 October 2006): Well, he was rude and ignored you. Therefore, your best bet is to - not be rude, but don't go out of your way to greet him! Be busy on the treadmill or exercise machines, say hello to others you might know at the gymn. See if he walks over to you and offers an apology for his rude behavior.
Good luck!
