Hello everyone, hope you could shed some info on a Cap I'm involved with. Or was, idk?
Met him last June online, texted until finally meeting in October. We live different countries, I work in travel he in military at war zones. He flew up to meet me (and another lady friend of him) in my country.
It went well, just happy to finally meet him, got seriously off guard a few times him making baffling comments but then again acting nicely. He's one hot strong smart 41yr man 😉 Yes slept with him, couldn't resist he stayed at my place 3 nights.
No further decisions made he went away, kept texting. Mostly me iniating but didn't think it off a big deal, he's in tough job so just appreciate any contact at all. asked him to join me on my work trip abroad, he quite eagerly suggested it and it felt ok since our schedules are really difficult to match anyway (quite fast maybe still?) Though he couldn't make it due to burnt passport. Anyway I told i'd of course hope to see him when his off next time in Feb and that's when things started going south.
I couldn't get any straight answer whether he even wanted to see me again. Told he told he was difficult never around and wouldn't get any easier. Would try to look into us meeting, I suggest I go to him then but thats a big no to him due to living with relatives. I figured things were tough for him at work so I let him be. A few weeks later he msgd he can't make it to my country this time, had a shitty leave and wished me well. I was hit by it, but thanked him and wished well. I actually thought that was it.
Month later he msg how's his friend and I'm baffled. Didn't reply nicely and he told had hoped to stay in touch with me, enjoyed my company and thought I was really nice lady. I told can't stay just friends with someone who I've been trying to pursue a romantic relationship with. He replied he has very nice friends who are ex lovers it's about being mature and seeing that two people like each other enjoy each other but don't necessarily want a relationship that way. I didn't understand so I didn't reply.
A few weeks later I msg telling I was going on work trip to his country and city next day and if he was around maybe we could meet up. He replied nicely saying hi pretty still overseas would've been very nice to meet you hope next time. I replied yes maybe. This was a month ago.
What now? Is this man i

What now? Is this man interested in me or what? Did I expect too much and then was left cold and misunderstood smthg?
I'm not a Cap, just a fellow Crab. From a Man's POV, he's interested but can't commit to a serious relationship. Maybe it's due to the nature of his work or he's just not there yet to settle, even at his age. It's either you agree with the above^^^ or just move on. Sorry!click to expand

The burnt passport was the red flag.
Being in the military was the first read flag...

Thank you all fir your insights 🙂 Oh no no no not love I didn't say anything about love! I'm wondering if he was/is interested and is there any substance to work on 🙂 I think you're on to smthg but I still don't believe just the sex killed it. He did after all contact me frequently after it and was nice. I suppose he would've stopped there shortly after us meeting if that was the case. He did say he wasn't interested in other women due to struggling to maintain one 😉 idk. Yeah the passport was burnt in a bombing 😢 and took a while to get a new one while back in his country. That's not the issue. I think he just had too much going on then to adjust to my inquiries about seeing. Idk. I may have been in a totally different mind setting the whole time as he. Well I'm going to find out now if there's anything to work on and take what comes as just a relief he's ok and alive.

Oh dear..
I'm going to leave this to aquapiscescusp and other female dxpers to sort out.
I don't want to be accused of being a woman hater (yet again) just for criticising a woman... by a bunch of shameless hypocrites.

Yeah they both were burnt and got an Er one to get out of Iraq and to get a new personal needed to apply for it in his home country. I don't think that's the issue.. Before he lost them he himself suggested to come along with me on my work trip to Asia. I know it's a strange setting here and I'm probably facing a dead end here but I wouldn't want to call it quits as things were in my opinion left somehow open. I'd like to get to know him with a right mind setting and with a long term prospect but if it's not what he wants with me then so be it. I just want to figure this puzzle out if possible. We may too different to connect on a relationship wise but I'd like to see it all the way before closing the chapter. I don't have high expectations but in my mind setting everyone worth thinking about is worth the effort. Maybe not on his side will see!

Yep the married/family at home thing has def been on my mind as well since me flying over to him was a big no-no! But... I've stalked him on Fb and honestly nothing suggests it.. )

I know married men who are on facebook and have NOTHING to indicate they are married. No pictures that include wedding rings, no pics with spouse, nothing in the background that suggests it, nothing. They are VERY conscious about making an effort to appear unmarried - there's a reason for that.click to expand

Yup. They actually have two fb accounts. One for the wife - one for the rest of the women.click to expand

Yes and no. They don't know how bad it is, but they suspect stuff. I'm guessing they don't want to see.

Posted by HappyCapper
Oh he's good. He behaves suspiciously...and manages to make you believe that somehow it's your fault. Let me see...where have I heard of that behaviour before? Oh, that's right: players. Get yourself out of this mess - you're obsessing.
