Iamyours Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I dated a guy for a little bit about 6 months ago, but he decided he wasn't ready for a relationship. I didn't push it and did my best to accept it and go on with life. I would see him around every now and then, we were very friendly and there has never been any hard feelings. We don't text, just run into each other once in a while. A few days ago I got a text from him out of nowhere after about 2 months of not seeing or texting him, asking "where have you been?" Why?

wilyone 11 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Men who decide they aren't "ready for a relationship" often make a reappearance 2 months later. It is kind of predictable with those types. Their fear or caution subsides and their feelings come to the surface. They miss you and make contact. But they are likely to do the same thing down the road. I would just ignore him unless you want to give him another chance (at your own risk). Link to comment
Clio Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 If there were no hard feelings afterwards and you are very friendly whenever you see eachother, why not? That is what people on friendly terms do. Haven't you done that with a friend? You crossed his mind for some reason and he felt that it was ok to text you. If it was just a friend and not a guy you dated, would you be asking yourself the same question? You would be better off not reading much into it. It was just someone you know touching base.

He is creating that back and forth dynamic. Link to comment

"Where have you been?" = "I'm 'momentarily' bored" i.e. inebriated/high after 'having been out with friends' when sending text. No response required. Link to comment
Thorshammer Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I have done this, i would text a girl i know liked me and would say the same thing he did. Sometimes i was bored, sometimes i just wanted to chat - the verdict didnt change though, i still didnt want to date them. Note - it doesnt mean my intentions were manipulating or evil, these were people that i used to know. Link to comment
amipushy Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Doesn't want you but wants TO KEEP YOU ON THE HOOK so that you are still there FOR HIM if he ever felt like dipping his toe back into your ocean. Link to comment
Batya33 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I would text back "here, there and everywhere. hope you're doing well. if you've changed your mind about wanting a relationship feel free to contact me and if I'm interested and available I'll consider it". Link to comment
