confused

Only you can know if there is more than meets the eye going on here.

However if he's being open and honest with you then this is my advice, wait till he calls you. Also understand that a girl thinks faster than a guy on an emotional level. He's probably not going to think about the entire situation at first, then the thoughts will slowly creep in. So what takes you a few days, takes him longer. Prepare yourself for a couple weeks of no contact...

But remember that old saying 'let him go, and if he comes back then he's yours.' He needs space. He was honest with you on that. So give him what he wants and let him miss you. If you call and poke at him every so often then his caveman routine starts telling him lies like 'your desperate.'

Ladyvie, I just typed almost the same thing on the Libra board about this post. Great minds think alike perhaps?

that is him being nice...but i would take that as a hint as to not to call for a while. i know when i don't want to hurt someone's feelings and i know they're emotional, i tend to soften it by saying they can call but not as much...if i know the person is thick skinned then i will tell them not to call.

if he knows you're emotional and sensitive, he might have said that you can call just not as much to be nice...i still say not to call him - let him miss you.

BEG: "saying that it was ok to call, but don't call so much, and if he wants to hang out, he'd let me know, and that "things" were just getting too "intense""

Can you not usually tell/sense the tone of the conversation turning slightly when that happens? I can usually sense a mile off when somebody is having the conversation but not actually there if you know what I mean..thats a sure sign of "I need to back off"..mind you, I never really phone anyone anyway so it doesn't really apply..I usually get told off for being so distant..

Let him come to you
