reader, anonymous, writes (31 October 2012): Perhaps that comment you made "I thought it was another one bites the dust" did sound a bit negative. I also wonder if other comments came out during your conversation, and he got the impression that you've been burned too many times and are a bit jaded. He may have decided it would be too much work to be with someone who will automatically see the negative in everything that happens. If you always leap to the wrong conclusion, he will have his work cut out for him everytime something weird happens. You may be sending out the wrong signal by saying things like that early in the relationship. I think something made him back off. So think carefully about other things (jokes, or comments) you may have said that made him think you were a negative person and perhaps not worth the hassel.

 Yeah we can't say if you scared him off. Maybe he wasn't all that interested and someone else came along, who knows? I would doubt your one sentence would be enough to make him run for the hills but again who knows but him. Either way don't call him anymore. Leaving a message and knowing his phone is working is proof enough to you that if he wants to get in touch he will.

 Hi
Its hard to say as we don't know the whole conversation, but I think you can assume he has changed his mind for whatever reason.
Just leave it that and think 'next'.

reader, anonymous, writes (30 October 2012): It's so hard to say. If he acted different after you said another one bites the dust, maybe he thought you had a lot of failed relationship or read something else into it. But if that is all it took to shake him, he isn't the one.
I wouldn't call him again, someone better is out there for you.
