Men Can Be Confusing Too

via email:


"m.rose,
I casually dated a guy a few years back but because of distance, we broke it off but stayed in touch. Lately, he has been very persistent in wanting to speak on a regular basis and have deep conversations. The only thing is, when either of us in in the other person's town, he avoids me like the plague!! What is going on?"

In order to answer this one fully, I think I'd need more information. Let's meet up for coffee on the moon tomorrow at 8pm Eastern Standard Time, unknown person. But really, this is a perfect example of how men can be just as confusing as women! Men don't understand women because we have a different mood every day. But when men become confusing, it's usually because they're feeling some sort of emotion and must suppress it with every fiber of their being. Cause you know, all guys do is play football, drink beer and make fire. Unfortunately, you can blame society for that one.
(smallprint: not EVERY guy on the planet is like this, so men don't get too offended)

As far as your guy goes, the best approach would be the direct one. There might be something specific he wants to tell you (he's gay? ha kidding) but can't. Or he might just be flakey. Whatever it is, just ask him. Guys usually respond best to directness- they don't take hints very well, which I'm sure you've noticed if you've ever tried to subtly hint to a guy about anything. Just ask him what's up. That might solve the mystery of "The Guy Who Wants To Talk But Not See Your Face."
