So about 2 years ago, a guy on social media contacted me. He asked me out on a date but I declined and said I had a partner (of 8 years) . He said "that's okay, we can be friends ". I said cool.
But during the course of the first year, me and this guy talked constantly. Almost 24/7. We would text about work, school, family, and discussed meeting up and made plans. It was a bit intense for a friendship but this guy wanted to get to know me and was super nice so I never decided to stop talking to him. I was feeling myself getting a bit too emotionally attached to this guy, since we were basically in communication 24/7. So for that reason, i wouldn't go through with plans on meeting up for coffee. I felt a bit weird, like I was doing something wrong by following through on meeting up and it wasn't fair to my partner.
So I would make excuses. I'd tell him I had work, I'd tell him I was with family, I'd tell him maybe next time.. etc. I put it off for a whole year and a half. I could tell he was fustrated. So I finally ended up telling him that I didn't feel comfortable with seeing him. I told him he should stop wasting his time. I even suggested setting him up with a girl. He was extremely persistent and refused. I didn't understand why he was so fixated on wasting his time on ME, when he could easily spend it with an available person who actually could. The last text he sent me was " is everything good? I feel you've been M. I. A. And I really don't want you to block me. I have a question: Are you really happy in your relationship?"
I didn't like that question so I didn't reply back and now we havn't talked in about 6 months. I'm still on his social media there's just no contact between us at all. And for once , it's been completely radio silent. Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on with his thought process? Does he like me? Is it really just a friend thing? I'm also unsure of whether to block him or go on that meetup with him.
