I met this guy over two years ago during the day, on a Sunday, and we had great chemistry. We exchanged telephone numbers, but nothing ever came of it. 1 year later, I saw him out with a girl, we recognized eachother, and exchanged a few texts confirming the same. Now, just recently he texted me out of the blue, he had recently gotten out of a 2 year relationship & had wanted to contact me. He said he remembered me from 2 years ago & was always curious about me. We exchanted hundreds of texts over the course of 4 months and have hung out about 10 times. We did NOT have sex, just made out. We always had a great time hanging out & would spend hours together every time we hung out. I of course was excited and I guess thought that things could only progress. I expressed my feelings towards him numerous times, but his response has remained the same – that he didn’t want a relationship right now. He is a self-employed artist. He is also almost 7 years younger than myself. He has been nothing but honest and respectful (aka gentleman). I could not imagine how he didn’t want more??? I started to bug him about my feelings & take his rejections for not wanting to hang out every time I asked personal. Do you think he spent enough time with me to realize that he didn’t want ME as someone he would be in a relationship with, or he just wasn’t into a relationship at all?? He obviously has to work A LOT to find his niche & told me that he just likes hanging out by himself & working on projects & his career. We are definitely in different spots in our lives, but I question how you can let such a great connection just slip away. Oh, side note – I do have my own life, lots of friends, going out & am dating other people. I just felt something special with him & I have a hard time just forgetting about that. What do you guys think???
