So here’s the deal. I go to college away from home, and in the beginning of this semester I met this guy who I thought (and to an extent still think) was really great. We met through one of my friends, and he immediately pursued me. He took me on a valentine’s day date, which was our first date, he took me to a concert, on bike rides, we spent a considerable amount of time together. But here’s the catch, I’ve had plans to study abroad for almost the entire summer, and then when I come back I’m going to be doing an internship, and living in a different city that’s about 2 hours away from where our college is located. He never asked for sex, he never really expected much out of me in that sense, I feel like he genuinely liked me. But now that the semester is ending, he had a talk with me, and said he doesn’t want to be official mainly because I’m going away, but also because he doesn’t want a relationship right now in general (Mind you, we were seeing each other for 3 months.) I honestly wasn’t surprised with what he said, but it kind of hurt me because in a way, I felt like we were in an official relationship. He treated me like we were in one at least, and to just give up like that because I’m going away just made me feel really upset and insecure. I cried so much when we had our talk, but I didn’t really get mad. Part of me isn’t THAT devastated because I know long-distance relationships can be very challenging, and he’s done it in the past and it didn’t work out, but it’s just the fact that he isn’t even willing to try. He recently sent me a text basically asking me how i was doing and that he’s always there if I need to talk or anything. I had no idea to respond, and I responded two days later saying that I’m okay and that I just can’t see him for a while because I have a lot on my mind, but I wrote that he will hear from me at some point this summer. I just don’t know how to feel about all this. Does he genuinely like me? Was I played? Are we done for good? Should I cut off all contact with him? These questions keep racing through my mind and it’s finals week and it’s so frustrating to deal with 🙁 I just need some peace of mind and a greater understanding of the situation from an outsider. I’ve spoken to a lot of my friends, and I keep getting mixed answers, some of them are even telling me I should hate him. Should I close the door on him for good?
