Hey, I know exactly how you feel! Although I was never over seas and away from my guy, I felt the same way. I met him off the internet, and before I met him in person I was starting to have serious feelings for him. We were dating for about a month before he finally told me that he didn't want to date me anymore, his reason was bc he didn't want anything serious, and I was very much attached, but the same sort of thing went on, he was the sweetest guy i've ever known.. Maybe your guy just needs some space for himself for a bit, but really is interested in you. Sometimes, guys are just strange like that, .. or maybe what seems like lame excuses sometimes is just the honest truth, I've been accused of such myself and had no intentions of hurting anybody. So maybe a call or 2 every week or so might be enough, just so he knows you are still intersted, but not over bearing. Ask him how he feels, the worst that can really hapen is that he is not interested in dating you right now. At lest you wont be losing the chance for a great friendship... I took the chance, and it turned out great! Best of luck, darlin! (Go for the man!)
