Time Heals All Wounds Trust the process, you might want to just get over them as fast as you can and move on with your life, but relationships and feelings are more complicated than that. Things to Do: Take a minute to breathe. Keep a diary. Talk to someone and ask for help if you need it. Talking about your feelings really helps you move on in a healthy way.

These small changes help sometimes.

Best answer: The only possible way to keep this going is to ask yourself honestly if you want to be treated like this for the entirety of the relationship. Do you want to always question yourself and your actions and wonder whether you caused him to blow you off or caused his rudeness?
Do you want to always be making excuses for his behavior and thinking of reasons why it's not unreasonable when, in anyone else, you would give up and walk away? I warn you that if the answer to these questions is "yes", then you will eventually become completely unsure of your ability to accurately understand any social cues or to add a pattern of behaviors up to determine intention.
I feel with you the way I feel when I see someone much younger than me starting to smoke cigarettes. I want to say, you know this is bad for you, and I'm not telling you to stop because it's bad for you. I'm telling you to stop because when you finally come around to really getting it that it's bad for you, it will be SO HARD to break the addiction.
I wish I had never started smoking I quit 7 years ago but I still get cravings and I wish I had never started making excuses for the guy I dated for almost ten years who had far too much in common with the guy you describe I last had contact with him 9 years ago, but I still get cravings.
If he doesn't "fuck yes" about you, keep moving until you find someone who does. Read this now. He is putting a very little effort into stringing you along because he gets some ego boost from your continued interest. I also agree that there is a good chance he is actually with someone else. However, even if that's not true, you should cut all contact.
It has been about three months and he hasn't found time to spend with you. That's your signal: in the last 90 days or so he hasn't found even a couple hours to spend with you. That's not the behavior of a single guy who is really interested in you. That's not even the behavior of a guy in a relationship who is particularly interested in having an affair with you. He's treating you the way that he'd treat something that he only needs sometimes, and is grateful in those moments when he actually needs that attention, but doesn't care much about or think about the rest of the time because he just takes for granted it's going to be there in the few and far-between moments he does need it.
You know what else people treat that way? Someone who likes you is going to make it clear they like you. And they will make time for you. If you feel you must , give him one chance. Pick a day within the next seven for us to do something.
Or he will, and he'll flake at the last moment, and you'll have your answer. I think a more effective thing for you to do would be to say "So, it's been fun talking to you, and I like you.
And you obviously have other stuff going on--I'd rather spend my time on a guy who spends time on me. Take care of yourself. He won't, and you'll have your answer. Or he'll do it once , but not again, and you'll have your answer. But really, you have your answer. Reread your question, and you'll have your answer.
This isn't a nice person. He's not into anyone except himself. He's not into the girl he is with because I would bet my bank account that he's in a relationship nor you, nor anyone else he may be stringing along. It's not your fault or any of theirs, but his. He is not ready or able to have a relationship. Ditch him. It's better to be alone!
They always come just as you've decided to give up on him right? Sometimes it feels like these boys I refuse to call them men! I've been in a similar situation and I know it sucks - when it's good, it's so so good, but other times it feels like hell : I promise if you let it go, you will feel so much better about yourself - you don't deserve to be strung along like this and be insulted by him.
Response by poster: Wow Yeah, I feel really dumb I guess letting myself get strung on for such a long time, but I guess it's due to how lonely I am here and how truly desperate I am for any type of social interaction, especially if it's romantic. I've always had super low self-esteem and like throw myself into all of my relationships with men and every single time, they always fail.
I have never had a serious boyfriend or anything like that before in my life and I'm 23 years old and I feel like a failure for it. Also - and this may sound strange - I haven't seen anything on social media that would indicate he has a serious girlfriend either and I don't think he's the type that would have 2 separate accounts or something like that.
It means nothing if you didn't see him with a girlfriend at the concert: he totally didn't want his friends to see him WITH YOU, which means either he did have his 'real' girlfriend there, or they know about his 'real' girlfriend and he didn't want those friends to see him appear to be cheating on her with you.
Either way, he is a major douche, and you deserve someone WAY better than him. Drop him: go totally silent on him, and never respond to any calls or messages he sends.
This guy reminds me of a guy who I had an on-again-off-again situation with in college. He had been routinely sexually abused as a child and teenager. Consequently, he was simultaneously desperate to please everyone and desperate to make everyone go away by being mean to them. The meanness didn't bother me so much, because I understood that it was a result of his own complexes, and wasn't a comment on me personally.
I'd just tell him that I didn't like it and then be a little stand-offish for awhile. I could tell myself intellectually that it was just his response to feeling threatened, but in my heart it just made me feel bad. In the end I realized that I wasn't helping him in any way. I was just letting him verbally abuse me. I bring this up because I think it's entirely possible that your acquaintance isn't a terrible, terrible person, but maybe someone who actually has some kind of personality disorder, perhaps born from past trauma.
That still wouldn't change anything though. No matter what his reasons are, he's still being abusive towards you. You're not his psychiatrist or social worker, and you can't help him. All you can do is chose whether or not to let him treat you badly. I think the kindest thing you can do for him is to send him a short e-mail letting him know exactly why you don't want to be friends with him.
That way he might learn something from the experience. Hey, don't feel bad. You gave him the benefit of the doubt. That's a decent thing to do, and hey, we've all been there when it comes to hormones. I think most of us have met our relationship kryptonite, where you know it's so good when it's good, but so bad when it's bad, that the smart thing to do is to just walk away. Add being lonely and a different continent into the mix? Completely understandable how this happened.
No one's criticizing you - we're all criticizing him and his behavior. But, hey, now you know, and can move on, and maybe find someone who is more suitable.
Grad school is a great opportunity! Meetups are a great opportunity! Something made you super excited to take this chance to move somewhere new - did you always love the country?
