What is this guy playing at?
I have been dating someone for about 9 months but during that time we have broken up and got back together several times. In October he badly let me down and we split for 4 weeks during which time I didn't communicate with him at all.
We finally spoke and he said he loved me and that I was his soulmate so I let him back into my life. During the whole of December I have only seen him 3 times - he says he is too busy with work (he runs his own company and yes it has been manic) but he has found the time to go out drinking several times, buy furniture, look for a new flat etc.
He promised to spend last Sunday night with me but then said he couldn't stay cos he had to move some vans in the morning. We had a big row and I ended up not seeing him at all. We spoke that evening and he would make no commitment to seeing me again so I ended it.
He then texted me on New Year's Eve and I replied and we ended up communicating again. Then on Friday I told him that I needed some sign that he actually cared about me (cos I have had none) but I got nothing so I said that I assumed he had no feelings for me, in which case it was over. He replied "fine then".
Since then I discovered he is back on match.com which is where we met. I know he was out last night and I got 2 texts the first saying "Have you calmed down yet" and the second saying "Oy" cos I didn't reply. Why is he behaving like this?
I am really trying to move on although I still love him deeply (thought he was my soulmate too) but this constant contact is really not helping...
To be honest I feel like he has had his last chance back in October. As I typed this question I thought why I am even asking this? It's obvious he's jerking me around! But hearing your replies really helps me to keep strong and ignore his attempts to contact me. Thanks guys xx

Don't you just hate it when they pop back into your life with those cheeky little texts that imply it's all your fault and what are you getting so hett up about?
'Cos that's what he's doing, he knew it was serious to you but he does nothing, and then when it suits him, comes back with a lighthearted reply to make you feel guilty.
He may like you which is why he is still playing but he's not prepared to commit to you I think; may have other offers on match.com and he's playing the field. Or he may be the huffy knee jerk type who says 'fine then' when he really doesn't mean it. But to be honest, I think the fact that he's not spending so much time with you is a bit of a give away.
Could be he needs to know what you mean by a 'sign.' I'd give him one last chance, stating clearly that you really like him but are not prepared to be jerked around any more; you want a relationship not just sex with a friend now and again. You're not prepared to be on the end of a string etc but I'm afraid this is one guy who is not likely to respond well to ultimatums so choose your words carefully. If you don't hear what you want to hear after making your considered statement to him then it's time to bail. Nice or not, there's no mileage in this if he won't be with you.
You might also get closure by asking him why he's still contacting you when you know he's back on the site.
Good luck.

he is toying with your emotions playing a good tune on your heart strings and having a good laugh too as your allowing him to do what he does to you probably with a lot of other females who falls for his charms. move on dear get a man who wants you for you to be with you have fun to converse to respect you and be honest with you this man has nothing of these at all he is out to use abuse then move on so forget him do not answer the phone do not chase him that is a mans goal to do the chasing but all he is doing is chasing you up the garden path and up the wall first he wants then he does not move on yes i know it is hard i expect you have cried buckets said "how can he do this to me promise then let me down " that is him he wants a girl but no responsibility of the relationship so stop it now move on ignore him get out with girlie friends and have fun do not delay do what you want he is.

Easy answer to your question - dump him! He is just making an idiot of you and fooling around, it is obvious he is not interested but he wants you to hang around for a while till someone else turns up. You are worth more then him, so dump him, move on to someone who will appreciate the kind of person you are.
Good luck.

Hun good advice get out, hes an idiot and get away, he aint worth it trust me. He isnt really that into you anymore. Its like he doesnt really want you there but he isnt really completely over you. Tell him straight how you feel and what you want and then if he cant live up to that walk away, you deserve much better.

if he can't be bothered to spend much time with you and keeps blowing you off he's not worth it...if he is back on match.com then he probably thinks that your relationship is over . I think you should just consider your relationship as finished and tell him to stop contacting you
