You aren't really giving much information to work with how long have you known him etc?

I hate being a joykill but if he doesn't talk to you for a week and doesn't tell you beforehand why, he might of met someone or is just not that interested. To use a term from the work of Bret easton Ellis, some people are just emotional vampires.

I HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM!!! We started going out in Dec 08 and I recently broke up with him. When we broke up, he really just had this bad/careless/"fuck you you've never loved me" attitude. When I told him my concerns (when we were dating), all he said was that he had his life to live and that he was busy. While that had some truth, he never seemed sorry or apologized for it. My suggestion is that if he doesn't apologize for it when you bring it up to him, then waste as little time on him that you can. It'd be best.

He's taking "a break" without informing you first. It could be because he's trying to figure out if he wants to keep things going with you (ie. soul searching) or he could just be testing the waters with someone else, but doesn't want to break up with you until he figures out what's happening with the new girl. Some guys prefer to move from one relationship boat directly into the other, instead of getting into the water and swimming single for a while in between.

I don't mean to be harsh, but when a guy suddenly disappears without warning, something is always up, and usually it involves prolonging a decision about the status of your relationship until he figures out exactly what he wants to do.

Call him and leave one voicemail (don't do a barrage of calls/emails) and wait for his response. If he's MIA after two weeks, then time to move on... If the relationship means anything to him, he will have made contact in one way or another within those two weeks to say "hey, I'm sick, my computer exploded, I'm swamped at work, or I'm now in a witness protection program". If he doesn't, then it's time to move on.

Online or not, relationship? Always complicated because everything is situational.

When you only met online, never seen each other, and the things you know about are only things you tell to each other then foundation is really weak. It is just so hard to tell if that person is for real and sincere about you.

First, just check if the person is really into you.
Second, maybe get to know the person more and find out what is he like and all that.
Third, make things clear. It just so happen that you're set up is more difficult than real life so set things straight and tell everything.

In the first place, it should have been settled. Coz' it is all communication in a relationship.

I don't mean to be harsh, but when a guy suddenly disappears without warning, something is always up.


Lastly, I agree with something's always up when a someone needs some space. Just don't be frantically be paranoid about it or it could be bothersome for the both of you. Sometimes, there are things that are really "explain later" situations. You just gotta deal with that. But if things get to be shaky then there's nothing wrong with asking but ask right. Questions without assumptions, but only needs answers.

Don't worry about it. Let it ride go, with the flow if he's worth it and make sure to have a few extra on the side for back up!
