Question - (2 September 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 2 September 2008)
A female United Kingdom age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Can anyone explain something to me?... Is it possible that a man wants to break off a 4 month relationship with you because he is just too afraid to get hurt? He has been hurt on 3 other occasions by women he loved and trusted and was left feeling bruised. This guy im talking about really seemed to like me when were together but would back off after those lovely dates we shared. He tells me now he just can't be bothered with a relationship and needs time on his own. He said he guessess his barrier is still up. Is this just his way of telling me he's not that into me or should I just give him time to sort his head out (which is what i'm doing).

We still see eachother at work and I know he likes me. We get on really well and are still friends.

What do you think? I just think we'd be great together if he would only give us a chance.

guys use this pathetic excuse all the time,what he is really saying is that he`s bored with you and wants a change,fun,excitment but not with you.after 4 years with my boyfriend he went the same way,failing to contact me had me waiting around for him knowing he had no intentions of meeting me or seeing me,i eventualy saw him for what he really was and behaved in the same way,until i met someone else and then decided to feed him with his own excuses,let him go and find a man who aint gonna give you the "im afraid bit"
