Eh so you're constantly inviting him out or want to meet up and HE ends up paying?..... And he's not as forthcoming in contacting and seeing you?....... Interesting.

This is the part that is confusing the hell out of me!?

I have a friend who was seeing this guy for several months. Then she realized that she was always the one initiating contact and he would always accept and they'd have a great time. Then she wouldn't hear from him and again she'd initiate contact and they'd get together and have a great time. Finally, she decided not to contact him and see what would happen. She never heard from him!

Hard to say, because some people like others to do the initiating. But I don't like it either. I had a friend that was the same way. Our birthdays are close together and every year I'd end up contacting her to meet up for lunch or dinner. "I'm so glad you do this because I would never think to do it," she'd say.


Well, I DID get tired of it, and stopped. Because I can't shake the thought that the other person just isn't interested enough.

That's my thinking too Luckystrike1. I sent him a direct Message on Facebook to the wording of another poster. I will wait and see what he says.

I'm getting ready to pull back and not bother with him. I just hate feeling as though i'm being messed about.

responding to comment - Define "great time".

^ Her description as told to me - lots of good conversation back and forth while taking part in activities that they both were enjoying; Having a good time together and enjoying each others company.

Whenever she contacted him she said he always appeared happy to hear from her. She would suggest getting together and he'd agree and she'd suggest doing something and at that point he'd might also make suggestions on places to go or things to do.

But once she stopped initiating contact, she never heard from him.
