So_Very_Confused agony auntHe's telling you just enough to string you along and keep you on the hook...

he's not that into you..

when he says your relationship needs to level up and you say "OK what do you propose to make that happen?" what happens?

if you say visit me and he says I can't I have too many projects... you clearly are not a priority for him...

if he wanted a future with you he would know what to do...why are you assuming that a 36 year old man does not know how to make a relationship happen?

ok i know thats not a good sign when a man tells you hes not sure. but this time around. few weeks. we talked and he said that. he doesnt know how to deal with this. if he can visit me here till next year because of his job lots of projects he will do. which is i understand i have my school here. so maybe its ok for me also that he goes here with my graduation next year.i can wait while im busy doin my school also here. but its that make me upset that he said he was thinking if he will backward or stop pursuing this relationship because he said it was unfair for me to wait for him and he said that. he doesnt know what to do and think our future together. im just wondering how come a 36 year old doesnt know how to think our future together. im so confused also why he cant make a decision about his own life our life together..or what his plans. hes said our relationhip needs to level up. its not progressing its been a two years were chatting emailing calling on the phone. maybe this time he want to think our future but he doesnt know how to move and plan about us. and i told him we can doi it together. why he has does things in his mind im so depressed thinking about him, crying all night why is he like that. why he can be a man and try to think that im part of his plan. can you please give me some advice.

So_Very_Confused agony auntOk it’s an LDR… how often do you see each other?

It’s also an age gap as you are 22 and he is 34… that’s a big difference (although 34 and 46 is not as big….. it’s about the place you are in life that is the issue)

He says he is confused about you… that’s not a good sign

He’s cold and distant and does not want to talk to you…also not a good sign…

AT 34 honey he can easily take care of himself…and if he can’t… if he’s that needy do you really want a man like that?

I think that you have a big huge dream of this man that is not based in reality.

When a man loves a woman he will move heaven and earth to be with her… a man that says to you that he’s not sure about you or your relationship is telling you how he feels… HE’S NOT SURE… to me that is one step away from “I’m leaving” and with an LDR that you have seen him twice in two years based on what you said, there is not much to bind you two together.

I know you want us to tell you how to make him open up, but there is nothing you can do to do this… if he wants to he will… but it sounds like he’s not that into you…

do not pin all your hopes and dreams on being with this man.

if you suggest to him coming to visit what does he say?

Aunty BimBim agony auntA boyfriend who is always grumpy and cold to you is not going to make a happy relationship. You need to ask him the same questions you are asking us, tell him you find his actions confusing and ask him what he expects from a relationship if he wont talk.

If it is a LDR maybe he has found somebody else to talk to and is cowardly enough to act like this because he does not have the courage to tell you the truth.

malletchick76 agony auntAs frustrating as this is, you'll have to give him time. There may be something going on with him that he cannot open up with yet. If you can't think of anything that you might have done to upset him, then it's not you. Just be there when he needs you.

Tashar agony auntOkay i don`t now if this advise will work but hopefully it will. Try maybe telling him how it feels for you him reacting in this way. Or you could suggest you guys have some space until he sorts his head if none of these work you could just try and by there for him do little things to make him smile spend time with him and do things he wants to do at least then you can make him happy around you and at least he knows you are there for him no matter what if you show him he can lean on you and come to you when he needs to.

You can't make him tell you what's wrong. Maybe nothing;s wrong? Maybe your constant asking is getting on his nerves? If you just leave him alone for a while he might want to tell you. Constantly asking him isn't going to help.
