Hi Anei,

These things do happen, and that’s why you (me, we, all of humanity!) should not start sleeping with someone too soon.

For some people and for a lot of men, sex is a physical release or even a game. They don’t attach love, like, or attachment to it as much as others.

As for this one in particular, if he ever comes back, make it clear that you are no booty call. The best you can do is be a platonic friend (let him do all the calling/texting) for a long time. I’m talking years. He might, just might, see what he’s been missing. But by that time you will probably have found someone who’s The Real Deal.

My mom always says, “A busy woman is a happy woman!” Find something new to do that you can really get into and get excited about, as a distraction.

Good Luck!
