Pretty much fell for him and more than anything I at least want out friendship back. We were talking for 3 months. "summer romance" haha. Well over a month ago he started needing space. His best friend told me that he's afraid to get close to anyone. He was hurt pretty badly by his ex, plus his dad died last year. Well we didn't talk at all for three weeks, I tried a few times and didn't want to bug him and make things worse so I straight out asked him if he didn't want to be friends than to tell me that. I told him I cared a lot about him but if that's what he wanted okay. He wrote back and said he was sorry he'd been a jerk and he's just super stressed and can't deal with it. He said he just needs to get away for a while. Normally I'd think "jerk move". But I know he isn't seeing anyone else, and I know he is stressed. We have the same friends so I'd hear things. Still we aren't talking and it's been almost 2 months. I've never not been able to stop thinking about someone for this long.. I thought after not talking for a few weeks but no..

I keep thinking that too much time has passed and a few more months are going to go by and there's no hope but maybe more time is what it needs? I have no idea.. I've never not been able to get over someone.

For your information. I've known some men, who've been hurt so bad by women that they actually stop seeing someone for 2 years, even to the point that they stop having sex (I don't know if masturbation counts). Cross my heart and I am not lying. As you said, he's been hurt pretty bad by ex and his father passed away last year, so I am guessing he doesn't want any deep relationship at this time. My suggestion is that until he initiates relationship further (friendship or love), you keep away from him (communication or date). I also think that a love bug has bitten you that's why you can't stop thinking about him.
