Why is he contacting me again?

To save yourself a lot of time and aggravation, I would simply ask him, "Hey, what gives? Why are you contacting me now aftr x amount of months? What's up?" or something along those lines. You can ask it jokingly, seriously or anything in between. Either way, I'm sure he'll give you an answer.
Good luck.

When you say you loved him for a year, I am assuming that you mean that you had a crush on him for a year and then decided to tell him, am I correct? What was the nature of your relationship during that time? Were you just friends?

Learus — You??re probably right. Waaaaaaaaaaa — I'm sure he knows that I still haven't gotten over him and that by being in touch just makes it even harder. I??ve never actually had to get over someone before and I'm almost 30, so this is tearing me apart. I can't sleep, eat or do anything in a normal fashion.

Your questions are so pertinent. We have a good enough relationship to ask him what's going on, but I am scared of the answer, that it's not what I hope and he's just bored or something like that. A large part of me wonders if he's still with his secretive fianc?e, but I can't ask.

He's a strange man, cause in person and action, he's totally into in, but when I verbalise how I feel, he rejects me, because I suppose that makes it real. I have also already been rejected by him twice so my ego and heart are bruised now, but at the same time, I've never felt this way about someone before, so it's hard to give up on the dream of it, even when it's causing me pain.

I'm also curious, is it normal for a Taurus man to have a completely secret life like this that no one knows about?

I thought Taurus were the most sensible, relationship-oriented, straightforward men in the zodiac and this Taurus guy I am talking about seemed so honest, that it completely shocked me that he had a secret fiancee and that he was so unapologetic about it. I verified the fiancee thing with someone I know in his home country, but if anyone else we know in the UK found out about this, they would be shocked, so I haven't told anyone. I wonder if he feels that he has to stay with this girl for religious or family reasons, but maybe he truly loves her and is a great fiance to be still together and separated by such a distance - though on second thoughts not so much if he's hitting on me. 😢

I think your second explanation says it all. He has feelings for you but can't act on them. Perhaps his "secret" fiancee is an arranged marriage? Which would explain why he doesn't talk about it in the UK. I ran into this with three different ex boyfriends: a yemeni, a mexican, and an indian [asian indian]. In countries like that they send young men to other countries to make money to send back home and then expect them to go home after a few years and get married to a local girl; usually an arranged marriage, but sometimes not as long as she's from their country.

He probably realizes he needs you in his life for some reason.

If he shows romantic interest just be sure that he knows that it's either you or her.

No games...no sex. At least not for now 😉

i have a friend that is doing the same thing to me for the flattery. i'm his personal ego booster fix. i personally don't mind because i already figured out that i don't want to be in a relationship with someone who is gonna be like that. especially since he has a gf. he knows i fell in love with him and how highly i think of him yet he comes to me for reassurance. i have a certain philosophy i live by.
