So a few months ago I reconnected with an old friend/ex-boyfriend from long ago. He's single, attractive, hasn't dated anyone in a few years, and the two of us always got along really well.

It's about an 8 hour drive from me to him, went for a visit a few months ago and things went very well, and I made plans to go back in March, in a few weeks.

In the meantime, he calls me (marathon phone calls), texts me, Skypes (yes, one time for 7 hours) with me, on a daily basis. Can't even begin to count all the time spent these last few months between online, texts, and phone calls. This contact is initiated by him about 95% of the time.

So he called me and tells me he's going to be in town next week, on business, for 3 days and nights. However, since he's going to see me in a few weeks anyway, he will be spending his spare time visiting his "friends" from when he used to live in the area.

I laughed it off, pointed out to him that he would have been better off not even telling me he would be in town, and reminded him yet again that he just does not understand women.

So I am looking for advice from anyone that can explain to me why a guy would think a girl would be fine with him completely ignoring her when he is close by, but expect her to get in her car and drive 8 hours (yeah, that's 16 round trip) to see him.

Any clue or insight into that would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like he has some unfinished business to take care of first. I would proceed with caution.

Yeah, it was a phone call, or he would have gotten one.

Tell him he won't be seeing you in a few weeks after all.

is it really that bad? he's going to be seeing you so he wants to see his friends that he never sees too. I am not sure I see the issue

I have to agree with you on this one. He doesn't owe her anything at this point.

I am betting he isn't single.

Out of 3 days and 3 nights, he can't even see her for lunch or dinner once? After she drove 16 hours round trip to see him? He talks her ear off by phone for 7 hours, skypes for hours at a time, all this daily multi-hour contact, but he can't spare 2 hours for lunch or dinner with her in person?

Something's wrong with this picture.
