writes:I was "dating" this guy for close to a year. Then suddenly he stopped talking to me. I tried to contact him with no response, finally I found out why, he is dating a new girl. I confronted him and he got angry, apparently in his head we had an agreement to keep it "casual". I was always honest with him about how I felt, he was always closed off. The night of the confrontation didn't end well, but as far as I was concerned it was over. The next morning first thing I started getting text messages from him, trying to explain himself and get rid of his guilt. I guess my question is, why does he care to explain himself? If he never cared about me and it was just "casual" why would he take the time to talk to me about it. It just seems strange, he says we are still friends, I just don't get it. Can someone shed some light on this?

 one of two reasons - he is either genuine when he says he does not want to spoil the friendship OR he does not want to 'burn his bridge' to you, in case he wants your attention again if things with the new girl don't work out
