So I was dating this guy (we'll call him S) for a few months.

Throughout it we mainly had problems with him not doing much of the driving. We live an hour apart from eachother. I had been to his place more times than I could count. He had been to mine 3, maybe 4. He didn't keep me hidden from friends and family or anything. I had been out with him and friends quite a few times. He posted about me on facebook, made it pretty public. Didn't hide me. On the day we broke up, I asked him many times what he wanted to do, and "I don't know" was what came out of his mouth most of the time and he finally said maybe he wasn't ready for a relationship. He was always telling me how he likes me more than he probably should and constantly telling me how pretty I was, and that he had never been with someone as pretty as me. How I was different from his other girlfriends. After we broke up, I did end up asking him how he could go from saying those things, to just not caring anymore. Told him I missed him, that it's hard for me and so on. Should I totally give up on this?

Yes.

You can't work this out for him. Just tell him that you liked him and really didn't want this to end but you respect his wishes and go on with your life. Don't contact him again.

I agree with this post. There has to be equal interest for things to progress. Give him space....lots and keep it moving.

Relationships are two way streets. If he doesn't want you, move on and find someone better.

Default Move on

You can do better than this! Find someone who is willing to put more energy into a relationship! It would be awful to be married to someone like this and continually get nothing in return for all your effort!!

He wasn't making an effort to see you and he didn't make an effort to stop you from leaving. He is not the right one for you. I am sorry.

He is commitment-averse, like me. Fellas like us can spot each other a mile away. Here's an insider tip: Don't waste your time trying to reel this guy back into a relationship. It will be an exercise in futility. Follow the advice others have already given and move on.

Just like women, men can have any number of reasons for getting cold feet. Not knowing him, I don't know his reasoning, but it sounds like you need to move on and don't linger over him.

Hi, just give it some time. take a month off and see what he does. Don't contact him. If you don't hear from him, after a month, decide if you want to try to put things back together or not. I don't know isn't a good answer, give him time to miss you so the I don't know can hopefully become a yes again.
