Question - (12 March 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 12 March 2009)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

So this guy and I have had a rather bumpy road. We've both been immature and acted hot and cold towards each other and gotten 3rd parties involved in our relationship. Really stupid. But now we are on break and we decided to start over and i decided to stop over-sharing with my friend who was a getting a little too involved with the situation and he decided to do the same.

The guy and I are actually getting along great now, he doesn't act like he is walking on eggshells with me, which was really hurting our communication and its actually fun to talk to him.

So, since we are on break and we can't really see each other we talked over messenger for a few hours. At the end of the conversation he said "so, i'll talk to you tomorrow?!" and knowing that he was leaving to New York the next morning (because he had mentioned it) I said "Depends on what time you leave for New York", thinking that he was referring to chatting again and he said, "I'm leaving early, but I'll call you from the road, but don't worry I won't call too early so i don't wake you up".

As sweet as it sounds its just weird. Why would he say he'll call me if he is going on a roadtrip with a friend to see his twin in college? Especially when our only interaction with a phone has been through text. And we had been talking about how we are just having fun and being single, so I thought he got the mssg that it wasnt heading into an actual relationship yet.

Then now its 4pm and he hasn't called, which i was expecting anyways, but why would he say he would call so randomly and not follow through?

Am i reading too much into this or is he trying to get rid of me by disappointing me? its just weird...i'm having trouble reading what he's trying to do.

A female reader, Mrs. Mom United States +, writes (12 March 2009):

Mrs. Mom agony auntNext time you talk to him, just ask him what happened to his phone call. Ask him if he got pulled over by the police or something :D Keep it light. And by his reaction, you may be able to answer some of your questions.

If you want to keep it casual for now, you have that right. Make sure you're consistent, though. If you want to keep it casual, don't start obsessing about why he doesn't call! :)

By the way, I really admire the fact that you two talked things over and decided to start again, leaving the third parties out. I think that was really wise and mature of both of you.

Good luck!
