Why does he tell me he still has feelings for me when he goes on online dating sites?

Question - (17 October 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 18 October 2009)
A female Canada age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I dated this guy for a year, but we broke up when I found out he had a girlfriend back home (he is not originally from my town).

We remain friends, although there is still very much an attraction b/w us.

I have been just been taking it easy as I feel that since he was the one that broke the trust in our relationship, if he wants us to be together in any way then he is going to have to approach me.

The other day we were talking and he told me that he still has feeling for me, very much so, and tries to keep them under control. He said that he had been going on dating sites to chat with ppl as he is lonely and feels secluded. He admitted the seclusion was something that he created himself (he has decided to avoid contact with ppl until he can get his head on straight as he says that he doesn't want to ever hurt anyone like he hurt me and he is very shy so has a hard time making friends), but it's hard nevertheless.

Why would he tell me that he still has feelings for me and then tell me that he has been going on dating sites? Why would he not try and work things out between us?

Because he doesn't want a relationship and really doesnt' know what else he wants. Sounds like he might be trying to worm his way back in, but only for a casual relationship. Don't give him a second thought.
