Hello , I got really confused and I needed to gather some opinions about this whole situation .
I met this guy one and half months ago . I was just not looking for someone cause I was recovering from a 4 year relationship which ended four months prior to my first meeting with this guy . He saw me at a friend and he is from another country , he came to our town because he wants to settle down here because he has family and friends here .
He is 22 and I am 30 so I didn't imagine us starting something or being in a relationship . The guy had a very "come and go life till now " always moving places end never being able to find a place called "home " due to his family background . He fell in love with the life of our small town and with the concept of family (his aunt , grandmother and uncle are rally treating him like a family which he never had ).
After our first date he was really all over me . In a week we met every day after he finished working with his uncle and after I finished my work . We spent every night together and soon he began to tell everyone about me (his friends , his family )We went on a trip together and we really felt great , he confided in me he talked about his personal issues , he was concerned about the age gap but he was determined to compromise to make things good . I am dance instructor and I had to leave town for a competition and he texted and called all the time (I never initiated calls ) he said he missed me and wanted me back. I came back and then he had to leave for 3 weeks to his country to bring all his stuff here and his car . We started with talking 3 or 4 times a day , then the distance brought some misunderstandings I felt he was pulling back so I naturally asked what was going on and that I don't mind taking things slower but I would like to know . He wrote a text stating " i am not sure i want a serious relationship right now , but i don't want us to be over , i just need some time from you to clear my head and to see where my life goes once i am back . " I agreed , yet he kept communicating with me every day through text and let me know when he is coming home . He arrived on Friday and after seeing his friends and family he came to me and spent the night (very loving and kissing me ) he explained why he needs a week freedom to see if he really wants a serious relationship right now . I agreed , he left . Since then he never called nor sent a text . I saw him accidentally on the street and he greeted and looked down really embarrassed , so yesterday I called him and told him I wanted to talk . He said we can meet , than he called me that he was in rush but we can still talk for a few minutes . I said OK and we met in a park cause he refused to go for a coffee (I later found out he had no money at all since he arrived back ). He behaved really strange and nervous . I stood on a bench and he was walking around me and never making eye contact . I was smiling and I said" i want to make some things clear , this thing we started wont lead anywhere , i know it and you know it , let`s put an end to it here because i want us to be able to talk and maybe drink a coffee together sometime , you don't have to avoid me or think that i am angry with you , i am not at all we rushed things and we should stop and try to remain on friendly terms " he didn't say anything , just apologized that since he is back here (4 days he s been only staying with friends and he feels that his family doesn't want him there , and the work offer he had is no longer available , so he is constantly thinking what to do ) I wished him luck since I saw him being nervous and wanting to leave asap . That was all . I am trying to figure out what had happened and what can I expect from such an immature guy when we next see each other . Please if you have any explanation from experience I would like to read it . Thanks a lot . I am really confused
