I met a guy at work who came on to me. We started texting regularly even to the point if I was staying at a friends house he stayed up until 3am in the morning to have a very interesting conversation with me.

Suddenly things seemed to have slowed down. I have mentioned about meeting up twice, which he kept saying was a good idea, and one day when he didn't answer a text, I said 'well I will just have to excite someone else then'. He replied, 'Hey don't be like that, I am the only one you need to excite'. Texts have got a lot fewer and then one day when I text him he said that he wasn't texting because he couldn't understand my text messages (yeah right! - I am thinking am I getting the brush off here).

So I gave it one last go and asked him to meet up with me this week. He said it was a good plan and would 'check it out'.

I reminded him and he said 'he was trying to get it sorted out'. When I finally asked him he said he couldn't make it.

My last two texts to him this weekend were 'If your not interested just say, I can tell you never really wanted me, did you?'. I did a final one to say 'had he received my letter that I had sent him (it was wishing him good luck in finding a new job). I hope that he got his life sorted and that it was time for me to move on with my life. Take care ok'. He then replied that he had been doing a casual shift and had just finished (11pm at night) hence why he had not replied to my text messages, not sure what I meant! No post - local problem. Text u tomorrow.

So I have left it. I can't be bothered any more but why did he text me back after I said it was over.

Is he playing mind games with me and hoping I will text him again?

that was completely the best idea- leaving the ball in him court as it were,

that way it shows whether he makes the effort to talk to you or not,

happened to me before also, and looking back on tge texts i had sent him I cringed!

hope it goes well. x

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

I did not text for two days and texted him yesterday to confirm yes or no if he had received letter (I had put something in there for him) and said once he had done this I was out of his hair for good.

He replied that he was waiting until I had finished work to text me (like hell he was), didn't realise things were in the past, thanked me for the letter and said about meeting up again, it was up to me and if I didn't want to he would respect it and then said 'can I ask you why the change of heart' and then left a big X.

I replied half an hour later 'because your texts have started screaming 'b***er off k, I am not interested anymore. I said I had to protect myself. There is nothing more sad than a woman chasing a bloke. I am glad you got the letter. If you want to meet up, its up to you to arrange it, I will leave it with you to decide.

I then tried a little trick. I rang half an hour later and again 5 minutes later on his mobile to see if he would answer it - he didn't. So I text him and said 'I think I have just proved a point to you and me that you are just not interested anymore and when you saw I was ringing you decided not to answer it. He came back saying he was working and he had had to go into the loo to text me back.

I did last text later to wind him up and said, I will leave it up to you arrange to meet up, I am not taking anymore time off work and if it stuffs up I will go and find myself a frenchman who is more reliable when I go away this weekend.

He text back 'Er this frenchman please explain!'. So I said 'he's lives in france and he speaks french'.

I am going to leave it again because I think that he will not reply to me even after a matter of time unless I do. Best way to end it really because he won't listen to me any other way.

Dr-Mel agony auntHunny, All guys can be jerks! The exact same thing has happened to me recently exept we've met up once a few days ago. I understand EXACTLY how you feel. Like your getting messed around? Used? Well what i'm doing is just leaving it for now to see if he texts or phones me first, i think you should do the same. Even though u probably wont be able to stop thinking about him an y he's acting the way he is but just try and forget about him until he texts back. And when he does text back (& i think he will hun) wait at least 2 minutes or better still, more, before you start replying, if he makes you wait, do i right back to him.

DONT LET ANY GUY MESS YOU AROUND ,, NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU LIKE HIM!!

I hope all goes well, please write to me to tell me how it goes.

Take care & good luck.
