matty, the thing with text messages is that I learned some girls prefer them over phone calls. Maybe they like to text? I don't know but either way I have learned that some out there love texting. So, I agree texting is a wussy way to go about things but not if the girl prefers it.

I haven't read through all the posts. At first reading, I thought he just wanted the conquest. But what I think happened is that when he wanted round three and you left, he felt insecure.

True, very true...however, in this case i would be hard pressed to buy into his reasoning as to why he couldnt find 5 minutes out of the 10,080 mintues there are in a week. he cuoldnt set aside even .05% of his time to make a call....maybe thats why this guys marriage fell apart....

This is not as complicated as you make it out to be. Some men (Many Men) just like to have sex with various women. That's the primary reason they talk to women. Everything they say is said to make them more appealing to you to have sex with them. They will wait the 90 days for you to come around and it won't bother them in the least that you are making them wait that long - because they are having sex with someone else while still persuading you to come around. When you do finally have sex with them, it's MISSION ACCOMPLISHED and time for them to move on.

For a person in your 20s, Matty, you are truly wise beyond your years. Great post!

I'm more inclined (after I re-read the OP) to say that I don't like this guy. For me, a guy has to put a little more effort into it or write him off! What I really like to do - to satisfy myself - is confront the guy face to face (where he can't hide behind a phone), look him in the eye and ask him point blank what's the deal. To what end? To know that I don't have to play guessing games and drive myself crazy trying to figure it out. I can pretty much tell when someone is not being upfront

He took the cowards way out. Let him stew in his own ignorance for awhile. Ignore his text until he calls. Even then, I would be very standoffish with him. You had to wait a week for a text apology? He's a selfish wuss.

Wow Matty that was a good post...I am resisting temptation to contact right now. I do agree that the text message apology was cowardly but i do feel a little better about the situation even if the apology isn't all that genuine. I will let the thread die now...thanks again to everyone.

After reading all the replys, let me give you my opinion, at your age, why worry about this guy?

You haven't said, he took me on trips, dinners, shows...I'm wondering about the rest of the relationship that you two had together & then I could give you my view.

FYI- even if the first encounter wasn't *great*....it ALWAYS gets better especially coming off a long sabatical.

Heck, if I had so-so sex with a gf that I knew hadn't had sex in years I'd probably just suggest more practice. Then you get to start introducing new things, finding out how each other clicks.....etc etc etc.

Best of luck.

Agreed. The texting is sooo spineless in this situation.
