Wasn't memorial day just last week?  Who's to say that he's not just taking a little break?  Maybe he's busy.  Maybe he'll be in touch with you again.  What makes you think the relationship is "over"?


Memorial Day was just this past Monday, not even a week ago yet.

I agree that it may not be over yet. He may have had family or other obligations. If you are not exclusive he may also be dating other people. It's still to soon to know for sure   Give it a little more time.

@Luvsmyfam  You were emotionally invested and he clearly was not. That is reason enough alone for him to ghost you. Did you ever watch the movie, " He's really not that into you"? If you haven't, you should. It's a good one and you will view this situation in a new light! Be strong and Carry On. This too shall pass. You need to build your self esteem back up and realize that you deserve better. He wasn't the one.

I agree that a week isn't very long, he may just be busy. Men are different than women, he may not mean anything by not calling.

@Luvsmyfam  Is this the same guy you were excited about a few months ago or so?  I remember you were over the moon about going out with someone but can't remember the details.

I still say that he might not be gone yet.  He might be happy at this time in his life with casual dating. It's not like he agreed to get married and then he left her at the altar!!!  It seems like it was a only a few dates with no commitment.

@San Antonio Gal A little bit of that isn't a bad thing. When late DH and I were dating he was getting a wee bit possessive (nothing bad) so I wasn't available a couple of times and he came around. That's what I call a little hard to get. No big deal. We had a wonderful and happy relationship.

Women were often told that decades ago. I never understood why, along with not being able to ask a guy out.

It's hard to give advice when so many pieces are missing to this puzzle. Why would one get so invested in a relationship that is relatively new. Like some have stated, Memorial day weekend was Monday today is Saturday.

 

Did it become more than just casual dating?  Is that why you are so devastated? I know you had stated he was not one to make plans and everything was last minute..I think you need to get to know someone before you become so attached . What do you mean by fun? No one can help you stop crying if that is your intent by coming to the board. People come from different backgrounds and have different priorities.

 

I would not have deleted him from my phone because he hasn't contacted you in a week or has it been longer?? Life is too short to become so obsessed about a relationship that maybe was or wasn't.
