The key to this is to keep your focus on... you.\n\nI'm sorry he broke your heart.  It's tough. My fiance broke off our relationship three weeks before the wedding-- and we worked together.  Turns out he was involved with someone else and like your guy,  he was "on top of the world."  I was underneath it somewhere.\n\n But, if you keep the focus on you, you'll be working on your depression.\n\nI embrace spirituality... not religious... and when you see this guy, maybe you can just say to yourself, "I forgive you... and I release you to the universe"  \n\nYou concentrate on being the best person you can be.  The rest... will take care of itself.\n\nOh, and take the high road.  Never let him see you depressed.  (Therapists may not agree with this,  but ultimately, it made me feel better)\n\nGood luck.

this sounds something that has happened to me recently so i'll tell you what i think is the best thing to do...in my opinion the guy is scared of hurting you more in the future so he keeps his distance so you don't get too close in the wrong way...one way you can help this, is to just call him up and invite him to your place to play cards with you and some other friends or just to hang out...or invite him out to go to the new movie playing in town or just a casually lunch at McDonalds....well i hope this helps a little if you need anything else let me know

tell him your not trying to be mean, but you really don't want to have anything to do with him. That you don't feel comfortable around him.

more details required? \n\ni think  if u cant get him then probably u should divert ur mind in something constructive, something else...persue a hobby i guess.

I think he is the one not playing it safe.  What if he was to break your heart? Then you have all his personal info at your disposal to harm him.  I am not saying you are the kind of person that would do that.\n\nIf he is remotely interesting give him a chance to woo you!

If a man did this it would be stalking and you need to get a life. If he doesnt want you leave him alone.

If you want a sort of casual approach, get tickets to something and tell him "I have an extra ticket to ______ and I was hoping you'd like to go with me, if you're fee that night."\nBut, trust me on this, sometimes the guy you think is out of your league, is actually afraid to approach YOU.... I missed 20 years of having someone quite amazing in my world because when we were young, I thought I had no shot at all to be anything but his "pal"....came to learn just this year, he never understood why I had the time of day for him, thought I couldn't possibly be interested.\nBelieve me, Darlin', there are things in life far more painful than being shot down.

You're gay, he's not and you're practically stalking him. Give it a rest butt boy and let then man be before he loses his patience and takes your high heels away.

theres really no way around just go ahead and talk to him let him know you value his friendship, but  and you go from there, but try to do this as soon as possible because you dont want to keep anything from him the longer you wait the more complicated it will be.

Maybe he realized that he crossed the limitations...he has cross the off-limits zone..Judging from the way you reacted it seems that you kinda missed this guy,right??? If you still wants to be his friend call him and tell him directly that you're just Friend so that he won't cross again. If he will not talk to you, then fine the least you can do is to let him know that you want him to be your friend.

not really, why are you even asking this question? if you stopped IMing him a few months ago, then i would just leave it at that, just block him and dont sweat it or dont SMS him or whatever. you might not think so, but if he was into you before, he still is, he will always be trying to steer you that way, i wouldnt even give it a 2nd thought about not talkin with him anymore

this has happend to me before as well. i stopped all contact with this person. i dont think you should have to put up with a guy who plays games. if someone trully likes you, they would have called. sounds like he is lying about tyring to reach you. let me just say i didnt regret once, letting that guy go. and my life has been less complicated since.

Maybe the guy you like is staying away cuz you accept the advances (flirt, friendship, etc...) of the other guy, so you do not appear to be available. I would not want to "take a number" either.

Say nothing, and dont think about it. Let the guy approach you first.

Yea!!I am glad to see your moving on a little bit.  For the record I am not frustrated with you, nor the all knowing one...I think you are cute! I can tell by your questions you are overly causious.  I just feel pulled to encorage you to move it up with this gentleman.  Time goes by too fast and I hope you give him that look or tell him that it is time to take you out...I would take you out sight unseen and I have no Idea who you are.  So just do it girl!
