I spent two months emailing, texting and speaking on the phone (1 time 7 hours) to someone local to me. In all that time, he always had an excuse not to meet - work, side jobs, pre-planned events with friends, having half custody of his child. They were probably all realistic reasons. He seemed to like me. I know I liked him. I pushed the issue because I was becoming very perplexed. I received a curt and somewhat angry text in return. I responded within 24 hours with a final goodbye message. I really, really miss communicating with this person. I feel as if I'm missing and grieving someone I never even met. Has anyone else had this issue? What did you do? My male friends all indicated that if he was truly interested in me, he would have found a half hour in his schedule to meet me. Is it too late to at some point in the future reach out again without seeming like a crazy person?
