How to fix what I screwed?

[Anonymous]

I think I screwed a potentially good relationship.

This man showed that he cares, gave me affection, but he has a strange character (he makes everything look like a joke) and so I thought he was just messing around. I often tell him "you are toying with me.."... and now he got offended. I start to realize that he was genuine. I like him, even maybe love him.

He is growing colder now and I feel awful for it.

How to fix it, I want him in my life?

While I don’t think it was wise for you to keep insisting he was toying with you, that may not necessarily be the catalyst for why he’s growing cold and distant.
I get the feeling that this is relatively new (maybe a handful of months), so if you’re in the dating phase still then maybe he’s deciding that ultimately you aren’t a good fit together. Who knows how serious he even was about having a relationship with you one day.
Regardless, if the path he’s choosing diverges from yours then I think that’s something you should allow to play out. Of course you could have a conversation with him, tell him how you feel, apologize for sending the wrong message or whatever, it may work. But remember, you can’t change what fate already has aligned.

Just talk to him, tell him whats on your mind, it might turn things around.

Being honest. Telling the truth will set you free

Honestly he kinda sounds like a red flag but I’d apologize to him and tell him how you feel
