Natalie,

When you first met him was he actively dating and then you guys became exclusive? From what I can tell on the whole dating thing is people nowadays look for love on dating websites and seem to keep the relationship “open” for a better opportunity and once it comes along, they disappear. It could very well be that or he reconciled with an ex of his?

Even though it was only a month of dating I fully understand how that can feel when he basically ghosted you. I think only time can heal you and the more and more time goes by the more he’ll fade from your memory. It hurts right now but it won’t always be like that. I would keep yourself busy and try as best you can to keep him from your mind (better said than done). I experienced this a few times when I was dating a few people. They would just suddenly disappear (because they were talking to someone else they thought was more compatible) and that would be the end of the contact. It took a few weeks depending on the person but I’d soon realize they simply weren’t right for me. I was fortunate enough to meet someone amazing and couldn’t be happier!
