I met a guy a few years ago and we hit it off. I thought there was a lot of chemistry and had a good time with him when we were together. However it never progressed to a relationship and we never even got physical. One thing though was that he always wanted me to come to his place and cuddle, even though I would suggest date ideas. Or he would ask me then cancel.

Then one day he cancels on me and we don't get together again despite me reaching out. So I look at his social media and it seemed he had several women interested. Oh well I delete his number and move on.

Cut to a few months ago when he showed up on several of my social media accounts. He was liking me and my posts. At first I just ignored him. He continued to do that and match with me on sites. Then out of pure curiosity I liked him back and he messaged me that he missed me and wanted to talk. So he asks me to come over for dinner and cuddling and tells me he's not dating anyone. But looking at his social media it seems like there is someone else.

But really that doesn't matter because since then he's gone back to being unavailable and canceling plans. I really was hoping because he said he missed me that things would be different and start progressing. I was really hoping this would develop into a relationship. Should I tell him this? Or should I just delete his number again or something else?

I think giving it another chance would be like a dog eating its own vomit. If he really misses you and wants to talk to you he'd be asking you out on a date, not to his house for dinner and sex. Oh, sorry, cuddle. Just a cuddle. Yeah, we all know what is utmost on his mind - cuddling.

Look, if you just want to go have sex with him do it. But there's probably a good reason why he's not in a stable relationship. If you are okay to forego a relationship and just have sex, by all means get a hold of him and tell him that's all you are wanting from him. He'd probably be available again.

His character seems great, going back to being unavailable and cancelling. Probably he would be perfect for you, right? If you had a friend asking you what to do in the same situation would you tell her to contact him and tell him how much she wanted to have an actual relationship?

We haven't had sex other than a bit of hand play. But just basically cuddling. How can I tell him I don't want to just come over and hang out. I already suggested date ideas and that doesn't work.

Go for it, girl, give him another chance.

What else are you going to do to fill the void if you decide to tell him to take a hike and move on?

So.....he doesn't want to date you. He wants you to come over. It's not rocket science. It's obviously his way or the highway. If you are okay with it go for it. If you aren't, block him and forget about him. Maybe you should get some counseling about how to make decisions.

If you really want to give him another chance tell him your offer for a date stands and to call you if he's interested. Then the ball is in his court. That's his second chance. He doesn't have to take it if he doesn't want to.

If you need to put this much effort into it, I would let it go. All of the signs are there for someone who is either not very interested in you or has enough issues to prevent him from committing to a relationship. Move on. Seriously.

Why does she need to fill a void at all. Many of my happiest years was when I was in no relationship at all. Not everyone needs someone to be happy.

You already gave him a second chance and he did what he did the first time...disappeared.

You want to keep doing the same thing and hope it has a different outcome ?

Well, you said he's got you on ignore again, right? So there's nothing to tell him at this point. But if he does reach out again, a basic "Not interested" should suffice.
