Well that Wednesday, I get a text from him saying that he's so excited to see me and if we were still on for that Friday. I didn't respond. Yep, the fear set in again. So he text again on Thursday, "hello, are you there?" I didn't respond. Then that Friday, he called me over and over and over. My heart hurts as I type this....but I didn't respond. I just couldn't face telling him again, I couldn't make it....

^^have you told him ANY of this?? he's not going to right out tell you out of fear and vice versa. i know you can do it. remember, they never show all of their cards because they are so guarded and terrified of rejection.
i'm glad he was so direct with you about you falling out of the picture for awhile, but you need to remind him that he did the same. an eye for an eye doesn't work for them.
it took me a while to get on a wavelength with my crabbie but the longer i spent time with him, the more i could feel what he was feeling. i would just ask but in a very sweet & coy way as to not scare him by using leading questions like: 'are you scared sometimes?' and as intuitive as they are he should know exactly what you're talking about...and i estimate he'll probably answer 'yes, aren't you?' he wants validation and you want communication.
i know you live far from one another but you CAN make it work as long as you're on the same page. you just need one night of communication to see where you two are. perhaps on friday it'll happen! btw, PM me on what winery he works at 😉

Are you sure you are really even that in to him? You can imagine why he would wonder!

Some of you are familiar with me and Mr. Cancer's dysfunctional romance. Due to the distance and other factors our romance has gotten a little cold on my side but he's always rearing to make plans to see me. We would make plans and I would cancel. Looking back over my behavior for the past 2-3 months, I realize that I allowed my insecurities/fears from our previous encounter make me pull back. So in a sense, I've been pushing him away but wanting to keep him close enough. Sounds crazy I know. I'll call just to see if he'd respond and he always do. If I call he answers, if I text, he responds within 2 minutes. So I know he's there, but I can't get past that point.
In July, I called him and we had our usual love fest conversation. Prior to this conversation, he hasn't been as emotional or open about his feelings for me. He's been guarded, but I expected that because I've been the same way. During this conversation he tells me that he's been dreaming of me almost every night that week and he "needed to see me desperately." I asked what the contents of the dreams were and he stated that in one dream, he reached out to hold me and I vanished. He stated that the dream really bothered him. He just continued to ask to see me and I agreed to maybe meeting up that Friday. He was pretty happy with that. Well that Wednesday, I get a text from him saying that he's so excited to see me and if we were still on for that Friday. I didn't respond. Yep, the fear set in again. So he text again on Thursday, "hello, are you there?" I didn't respond. Then that Friday, he called me over and over and over. My heart hurts as I type this....but I didn't respond. I just couldn't face telling him again, I couldn't make it....
He finally stopped calling. I haven't heard from him since July 6. Well yesterday I decided to call to see how he's doing and he let me have it. I didn't expect him to be so emotional because most men aren't. Usually, they've moved on without a second thought.
Me: Hi Cl...Just saying hello
Him: Where the hell have you been?
Me: Just really busy, how are you....
Him: Bullshit, I called you over and over again but you don't answer. I made arrangements to meet you and you don't show up. I called 3 days straight.
I didn't have any excuse, so I just apologized. He went on and on about how pissed he was and I took it because I deserved it. I apologized over and over....next thing he asked was
"So When do you want to see m
