Could it be that I'm so scared of being rejected by him that I'm over-analysing everything?

Question - (30 July 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 30 July 2007)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I met a boy a few weeks back and I really like him. He seemed to really like me too and we exchanged numbers. He called the next day and we arranged to meet up a few days later. On the day, he said he couldn't make it as he had to work. Since then I've only met up with him 3 times and when we are together we are all over each other but then when were apart I never hear from him!!! He says he is really busy at work but sometimes if I phone him he makes excuses to go or when I text him he doesn't text back.

Basically, he just doesn't make an effort but I'm confused cos when I am with him he seems to really like me and talks about becoming a couple. I just don't know what to do - I hate texting him all the time as I feel like I'm chasing him and I know that some men dont like it. Last nite, I deleted his number from my fone in frustation after he made excuses and hung up, now I'm wondering whether that was the right thing to do? It sounds like he might be shy to make the first move but I know that is not the case because he is a very confident boy. Also, I'm not good at dealing with rejection - especially from people - and I go into depression when this happens. Could it be that I'm so scared of being rejected by him that I'm over-analysing everything? And how do I deal with rejection because I feel the way I handle it, due to previous experience, is a lot worse than the way other people do. Please help x

hlskitten agony auntYou sound a lot like me, your instincts are saying he's either with someone or he's not that into you.

If it was me ive noticed this with guys before, but if they are funny about texting back, emailing back or whatever and are making excuses to get off the phone, they are probably attached.

Where did you meet him?

I'm an overly analytical peson too. Aren't all females? haha

But in all honesty im going with the guy being with someone already.

Let us know what happens.

Basschick agony auntHe sounds horny. He's not looking for a relationship, he's looking for a quick lay, no strings attached. Stop calling him, stop texting him and turn your interests to someone else. Unless you want to be nothing more than a sexual fling, you're headed for a heart break.
