I met this guy, we had one date and I thought we really clicked, especially when he said that he was feeling me. We called eachother and chatted and emailed eachother for about a week. I get a message from him about four days ago telling me how much he likes and asking to call him back. However, when I call him back he says he'll call me back. I didn't hear from him for three days before I emailed him asking if he had kicked me to the curb. He insisted he still feels me. Then he doesn't call me for two days.

Am I wrong in thinking that this guy is just stringing me along? I feel very hurt and I thought that if he wasn't serious he would just have ignored my email, but he emails me back. I would have dumped him ages ago, but he really got under my skin and I think about him all the time.

Sounds like for you it's a case of wanting what you can't easily have. I think if he wanted to spend time with, hang out with you, etc, he would call and ask you out. Not play around on the phone and email.

It's interesting to me that you posted on this topic because I'm kind of going through the same thing right now. I barely know the guy and sometimes I think I should let it go. I didn't feel a huge connection, but he acted like he was very interested. I know from my experience I've theorized that maybe he just wanted sex, maybe I didn't show enough interest, etc. It's really hard to tell with guys sometimes. I guess my best advice would be do all you feel comfortable with in terms of pursuing him, then just let it go. That's what I'm doing. Another thing, guys may never admit they've lost interest if they don't like confrontation, to hurt someone's feelings, etc. Good luck.
