I told him how he makes me happy and he didn't respond?

So I had been dating this guy for 2 weeks before he told me he needed time to figure s*** out. Everything happened really fast in those 2 weeks...I met his kids and his parents. He basically told me he wanted to slow things down and just be friends and "go from there". He every now and then will initiate a text message.

Just recently I told him I would respect his space and give him the time he needed. I also told him how happy he had made me in the short amount of time we were together. He didn't respond. I for sure thought I had freaked him out by saying that...but then I realized I was being honest and just doing what I felt in my heart. An hour after I had messaged him, he responded with a simple Have a good night!.

I was thrown by his response, I felt like he was avoiding it altogether. Maybe he was...I don't regret telling him how I felt, but did he just not know how to respond to that? That was my first instinct.

frankly..? dump him.. forget about him.. he is just hanging out with you.. I am a guy.. and I know.. I have done this lots of times and I know why guys do this.. he just wants to enjoy his time with you and is not looking for any commitments.. the moment you get emotional or sentimental, it turns him off and doesn't feel like talking to him..

tell you what.. try this.. talk to him properly.. in a cool way.. nothing sentimental or personal.. joke around.. and he will reply to your texts.. and then suddenly say something like you said (you make me happy).. and he will reply with a - "i gtg" or something.. try it and figure it out

It's crazy because he casually invited me to go to New Orleans with him...at first I thought it was way too soon. But then I met the parents, etc. He and I shared how we both are tired of games and want relationships. My friends think he may have just gotten cold feet. He's been pretty open about what he's going thru. But yeah, I think I'm gonna do what you suggested. ;)

he has kids ... and seems like he had a girl say those things to him but she used him to have kids or something and she left him and hurt him and he now doesn't trust girls anymore ... and if your really want him you will have to find a way to get his anti-girlfriend sheilds down but only a girl that really will love him can do it ..and if you give up it will hurt him even more... good luck

Thank you...and you're right. He has been hurt..and he's dealing with his ex wife at the moment (his kids' mom). He was pretty open about everything. I just think we moved too fast. We did a lot in just 2 weeks...more than what people do in 3 months. Lol.
