Bigger the ego, longer it takes to heal? Is hurting a guys ego, really that big of a deal? And is it something that can be fixed? I have just realized that I may have hurt this guys ego worse than I originally thought, I care about him and like him a lot and would like to fix the situation, but I don't know how, I'm not the most sensitive woman around, but I did not mean to push this guy away. He came off SO CONFIDENT and sure of himself, talking about his BIG HOUSE, his BIG CAR, his BIG LAKE, and his BIG BUSINESS and how he could have been a millionaire by now, etc etc etc, I really thought this guy was a little tougher, so why is it the tougher you act GUYS, the more sensitive and insecure you really are? Why put on the act? Where does it get you? I told him he was insecure and jealous, and ever since then, it's never been the same, he would call and not ask me out for like 2mos, then I ask him and he doesn't say NO but he doesn't say YES, either, what is he trying to prove to me now? And is it possible he's still recovering?
Well some guys can be a little soft under their "armor" so the best thing that you can do in this situation is take him aside and tell him that all of those things don't matter to you and you didn't mean to come across to him the way that you did. I think you will be stunned the response you will get in a few weeks. It is not going to fix things that day, but give it some time.
Sigh. Yes, I suspect you really hit this guy where it hurts, and he is still having problems with that. He probably IS insecure, which is why he talks about his BIG this and that. You saw through his BIG act right away, so he can't use that act with you anymore. But then what act CAN he use with you? Or (horrors! ) does he just have to be himself with you? And what if you aren't super impressed with just "himself" -- what then? For guys like this, it's easier to find another girl who "buys" his BIG act, and lets him feel good about himself, rather than going back to a girl who sees right through him, and makes him deal with reality. Sad, but soooo common. If I were you, I'd probably move on and try to find a guy who is less insecure and doesn't need a BIG act to feel good about himself. Best of luck!
