A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

There’s this guy I’ve known for five years; we’ve been good friends for about 2 1/2 to 3 years and we’ve been flirting a lot since over the summer. The last time we saw each other I was home for Christmas and we really flirted; one time he was leaning forward on the table, stopped talking and just gazed into my eyes for several seconds. He finally broke it, looked down, and had an embarrassed-looking smile on his face. Other flirting techniques he’s done is always looking at me in the eyes when we talk, smiling and laughing a lot, blushing, teasing and calling me names.

But ever since we met that day I have tried emailing and calling him a few times; just keeping in touch. But he’s ignoring me. He’s either playing hard to get and really likes me, is scared/indecisive or I’m just boosting his ego. He’s around 50 (he’s my former college prof in my major (I'm in my mid-20s and yes he knows it; I’ve since graduated; he's not married), so he should be mature enough to not play any games that young guys play, so I don’t really know what’s going on. I’m going to wait to call him in about three weeks; just to give him some space and “ignore” him back and figure out what’s going on, but please help me - what do you think he’s doing. And if he is scared, guys what makes you scared when you like a girl?

It may be that he likes you very much, and has played the whole thing through. He is old enough that he may not want to father children, you are so young, it would be natural for him to expect you to want a family. If he wants you to experience those things, and wants you to be with someone you can grow old with, he knows it can't be with him.

well, it's one theory.
