writes:I have known this guy for 10 years and we went to school together. We always flirted, got on really well and went to the school dance together but nothing ever happened between us. After school ended we only saw each other a few times at parties and we would always talk and re-connect. About 4 years ago he seemed to be hinting at asking me out but I wasn’t too interested so he dropped it. I saw him a few weeks ago at a dinner and we hit it off again (after 3 years of no contact). He even joked about telling our other friends we’re dating (because we were late to the dinner and walked in together by coincidence). After the dinner he even hugged and kissed me on the cheek - and he's never done something like this as he's very shy. So after the dinner I emailed him and asked if he wanted to hang out and play some basketball (we both played at school) and I gave him my number. He said sure, gave me his number and asked where we should play. I replied with a few suggestions and asked him when he's free. Then for 10 days I get no reply. So I send him a text message and he says he still intends to hang out but is busy the coming weekend so maybe the weekend after.The weekend after starts tomorrow and I haven’t heard from him and I expected as much. All my friends who know of him think he likes me but all this now tells me he's not interested. We've known each other for so long and I always thought he liked me, because we just connect.Why would he be like this now? Why say yes, give me his number and seem all set and then just back off?Was he ever interested?Should I just forget the whole thing and not contact him anymore? I think I have done all I can.(Not sure if it's relevant but in the three years I didn't have contact with him he dated this girl on and off and I am told that they finally broke up early this year).

Lexie88 is verified as being by the original poster of the question Thanks for the answer but if you read the question, I gave him my number first and then he gave me his. The reason I asked him to hang out is because he tried to ask me out in the past but I wasn't that interested. So this time I figured that if I don't do anything he won't either because I was not interested when he tried a few years back. So you think I 'killed' the moment? But if I waited for him I would be waiting forever.
