I agree Murk. I was talking cues from him as well. We had a thoughtful discussion and he clearly kept the romance/emotions out of it.


Hmm, never thought he might like-like me. Then he should text-text me :P

If you have a life-threatening illness, he may be VERY afraid of getting more complicatedly involved than you already are.

Exactly. You were a good couple, a good couple of friends. It seems by getting other poster's points of view, you may have figured this one out for yourself.

I hope nothing I typed implied pity sex, I sincerely hope your health is getting better.

I tend to agree with those who state that he may be conflicted about his own feelings about what transpired. Give him a little time, then call him and let him know how you are feeling.


Good luck with this and best wishes for you to be healthy again!

Also, if he truly pulled a vanishing act, he wasn't the good friend you thought he was. Not your fault.

Especially at his age. Maturity may be lacking if that's the case. Ditching a long-term friendship overnight, absent an obvious conflict and falling out, is kind of the move of a much younger, much less experienced person.

If you guys get along so well and the sex is good, WHY SHOULDN'T YOU BE TOGETHER?

I've never understood the idea of connecting with someone so deeply, both parties are single, and then deciding to just be friends unless you're woefully incompatible in a relationship.

This thread is a perfect example about when you hear that sometimes "sex ruins things", even through all of the lets be friends talk still, afterwards sometimes it just does change the dynamic too much for a lot of people. I hope he mans up and at least contacts the OP at some point so she's not dangling out there feeling weird.

That's a good question and one I used to ask ages ago. The answer was always that the guy wasn't into it.


And some people just can't let go of a certain model of how their SO should be in traits/appearance, etc. Not everyone is an individual thinker on these things.

If this is true he must be the world's stupidest "player". 3 years of work for a one night stand?
