Maybe he senses you aren't meeting him halfway and finds a woman who does. You can set up dates as well you know?

Just one over a few weeks ago.
He recently reconnected with me after my reluctance since he ghosted me last year

very true. how many times have YOU set up a date with a guy you were interested in, that seemed interested in you?

dating is a two way street. and sometimes you get stood up, or you get turned down. a lot of us guys have been shot down so much, anubis is holding a spot on the river boat for us.
But why can't he close the deal, why do I have to put myself out there and potentially look needy to only be rejected. F** that. I'm going out tonight with someone new, so hopefully that will help me to stop thinking about him.

Bottom line: He isn't "closing the deal" because he doesn't want to. Glad to hear you are dating others. I would forget about him, especially if he ghosted on you previously. You are wasting your time on him.

That's the risk that everyone takes when they're dating. Why would you be immune to that?

OP, just to be clear. He ghosted on you last year, then after he reappeared, YOU initiated the one recent date you've been on?

To clarify, he actually initiated the date with me and was very persistent, but I kept putting him off or simply ignoring him until I gave in(I know I screwed up). Then I asked him where he wanted to meet because there wasn't a date, location, and time set yet, 2 weeks after his request.

I'm not immune to it, I never said I was, I just expected a complete follow through on his part.

I know, you're right. I fell for it again.
