Is he playing games or just not serious?


Recommended Posts

So I’ve been talking to this guy off and on for awhile now. Recently we stoped talking. Then we made back up and we are on speaking terms. Anyways he went a whole week without communicating with me. Come to find out he sent me a message but “it said he deleted it”. So I asked him about it and he said he didn’t mean to send it to me? Later on he final confessed that it was for me. He asked me “you know why I didn’t contact you”? I replied “ why”? He said “it’s because I’m not going to sweat you and come off desperate”. I’m very confused? What is his motive ? Before the big fight that we got into about a month ago he was blowing up my phone there wasn’t a day he wouldn’t reach out.

Are you dating?  When people say they are "talking to" somebody I am always confused.  From my perspective, if you are just talking on the phone or, worse yet, "text buddies,"  how can you have all this drama?

He’s also been trying to meet me in person which I have declined due to all of the disagreements so that’s also probably why he doesn’t take it serious

Are you interested in dating?  Texting is not dating, so if you are interested in someone, meet as soon as mutually convenient.

If you already have disagreements and you have never even met, then this is not at all worth pursuing. 

Too much drama. Next.

I don’t know why he would like you if you’ve had disagreements and never met. 

The more important question is why you would care at all whether he likes you when you have disagreed to the point of fighting and are avoiding meeting him in person.

When someone makes you feel uncomfortable, you drop it and move on. I’d explore why this dynamic appeals to you. You may be attracted to very dysfunctional types of relationships where some attention feels like good attention but it’s really toxic waste you don’t need in your life.

He meant, he's not going to chase you and appear needy for your attention.  He's just saying anything he thinks you might want to hear.  That message was probably for another girl and he just made that up.  How can he appear desperate when he's never even asked you out on a date?  A meet is not a date.

I think "let's meet" is very neutral. You could have explored more, asked him where, depending on his suggestion you'll be able to guess... If he didn't make it clear you could still go as a friend and if he tried something more and you're not into it you can always say no.

I'd put this one in the bucket though. Arguing before meeting? No good. This implies that communication between you two does not flow easily or that you're just not an ideal fit.

That’s exactly why I haven’t met him because of the disagreements… he’s always asking me to hang out but I feel like there’s to much tension to meet. He also says he “loves me” and then he says he’s “just joking”? He also says he has dreams about me etc and only wants me. A lot of game talk I think.

What are the two of you arguing about, exactly?

A man I dated said he had a dream that I killed him. Having fallen asleep, he woke up horrified (apparently I shot him in his dream, :classic_huh:). 

Of course, don't take those types of comments seriously. Next time just say "thank you, that's kind, but a bit too soon for that sort of thing."

It may be better to block someone like this than allow this aggravation. He seems like a jerk. Refocus your energy on friends and dating men you're interested in and get along with.

Until we know this it's hard to try to answer your question.  What was the fight about?

He is weird.

He seems immature too.
