The last time we saw each other I was home for Christmas and we really flirted; one time he was leaning forward on the table, stopped talking and just gazed into my eyes for several seconds. He finally broke it, looked down, and had an embarrassed-looking smile on his face. Other flirting techniques he’s done is always looking at me in the eyes when we talk, smiling and laughing a lot, blushing, teasing and calling me names. But ever since we met that day I have tried emailing and calling him a few times; just keeping in touch. But he’s ignoring me. He’s either playing hard to get and really likes me, is scared/indecisive or I’m just boosting his ego. He’s around 50 (he’s my former college prof in my major (I'm in my mid-20s and yes he knows it; I’ve since graduated; he's not married), so he should be mature enough to not play any games that young guys play, so I don’t really know what’s going on. I’m going to wait to call him in about three weeks; just to give him some space and “ignore” him back and figure out what’s going on, but please help me - what do you think he’s doing. And if he is scared, guys what makes you scared when you like a girl?

He is old enough that he may not want to father children, you are so young, it would be natural for him to expect you to want a family. If he wants you to experience those things, and wants you to be with someone you can grow old with, he knows it can't be with him.well, it's one theory.
