writes: I was seeing someone for 2 months, I thought he was the one. He liked me I know, but after 2 months I came to realise by text that he did not want to carry on with the relationship. he offered no explanation & I then had to tell people that it was over. I wasn't heartbroken as I didn't actually fall for him within that time but I was disappointed as I thought this was the one and I was prepared to give him my all. At Xmas he sent me a text and in a nutshell he wanted to give it another go. I knew deep down that I wanted to, but wanted to make him sweat and stew. Things were going well until there was a period of 2 days when I didnt hear anything from him. To me this felt like the last time when he broke up and I suddenly got very cold feet & felt I should end it before he did. So I texted him and asked what he was up to & his reply made me jumpy. So I said we should end it and he should delete my phone number. I felt happy with this for approx 2 days & then promptly missed him. I am now at a loss, I feel I cannot contact him now as I will feel stupid & now also fear rejection. Also, I do not want to have a ping pong relationship going back and forth and also there was a fundemental problem, I have a 13 yr old son, he has a 5 yr old daughter with learning problems who he dotes on. I dont expect to come between them, but he never made me feel as if I was important, this is what I was waiting for the 2nd time. I know he really liked me, he would text me but never actually say anything to me face to face which I needed. So should there be a 3rd attempt or should we truly give up and move on.

Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question!
