So, I have this guy friend. I thought we were good friends. We went to the same college and to the same church in a small town. Often times, after church he would end up asking me to eat lunch. Usually it was just the two of us. After the evening service, we'd usually hang out as well. However, I got a job in another state. I figured we'd keep in touch via phone and would see each other when I came in to visit being I have family in the area.
But, he's really bad about not answering his phone. And when I do call he takes forever to call back or doesn't call back at all. My questions is why would he be so flaky like that? To go from wanting to hang out all the time to never taking the time to call. I can understand not being much of a phone person, but what if that is the only way to keep in touch because of the distance?
This dude may be trying to adjust to the fact that you are not really around anymore. In his mind, he may be trying to let go of you because of the fact that it seems like you may be moving on from his life since you got a job out of state. He may be preparing himself or adjusting himself to that. If he hasn't been calling you back right away, he may be feeling like keeping some distance between the two of you so he doesn't get hurt if you end up moving away and/or leaving his life. These are just my thoughts. I'm in a situation like this right now, so I'm not sure if it's the key for you in this situation or not.
This guy and I had been talking for a while and we met for the first time recently. There was definately a mutal attraction in not so many words. But...
