Things were going well but I think I came over a bit too keen and scared him away. \u00a0We&#8217;re just friends now but were still in regular contact. \u00a0I really liked him and miss him a lot, so I&#8217;ve been hopeful we can resolve things and get back together. \u00a0However, I recently asked him if he&#8217;d like to go for a drink and he said he&#8217;d love to. However, the problem is that he keeps cancelling and letting me down at the minute. \u00a0He&#8217;s really busy and has so much going on. \u00a0He does keep promising he wants to see me but now he&#8217;s been quiet for a week. \u00a0Is he really interested or not? \u00a0T&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hi T,<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your message. \u00a0I&#8217;m sorry things didn&#8217;t work out this time around.<\/p>\n<p>One of the problems at the start of a new relationship is that you will both be at different stages. \u00a0One will be more &#8220;into&#8221; the relationship than the other, although things do eventually balance out once you&#8217;ve been seeing each other for a while. \u00a0 If you are a bit too needy, clingy or questioning then it can be all too easy for the other person to get nervous and bail out. \u00a0Rather than have a confrontation or discussion about the issue, it&#8217;s easier to just end things and move on.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps he is just busy. \u00a0Things do get in the way after all. \u00a0But I strongly suspect he&#8217;s just trying to let you down gently. \u00a0I don&#8217;t want to sugar coat it, so I have to say that if he really really wanted to see you then he&#8217;d make time for you. \u00a0How hard is it to find an hour for a drink? \u00a0I think he&#8217;s fully aware that you want to get back together but it&#8217;s not something he&#8217;s ready for&#8230;at least not at the moment. \u00a0So he&#8217;s fobbing you off and avoiding you rather than telling you the truth.<\/p>\n<p>The very best thing you can now is to get on with your life and stop hoping he&#8217;ll get in touch. \u00a0Carry on dating other men and make sure you have a full diary with lots of exciting activities. If he does contact you then great, but at least you&#8217;ll have lots of other options. \u00a0I tend to find the more fun and exciting your life is then the more other people will want to be part of it.<\/p>\n<p>So do get back on the site and fingers crossed you meet someone even more wonderful!<\/p>\n<p>James<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you have your own dating dilemma that you&#8217;d like help with, send it over to info@asiansinglesolution.com \u00a0 Our resident Dating Coach James Preece will answer the best questions here in the blog. \u00a0Don&#8217;t worry, they always completely anonymous so nobody will ever know it was you!<\/p>\n<p>Happy dating<\/p>\n<p>James Preece<\/p>\n<p>www.asiansinglesolution.com<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; This week I answer a question from a very confused female member. &#8220;Dear James, I was dating someone from the site at the start of the year. \u00a0He&#8217;s a solicitor and very handsome.
