I have only been dating a guy for a month, but for about a week now, we haven't seen each other. We live about 40 minutes apart, so I know it's hard to find time with work and our other plans. Plus, he is leaving the country in a few days for about 10 days. We aren't really communicating anymore either. Last week, I told him that I couldn't handle initiating and making plans just so he would cancel. I told him to talk to me when he is ready. He texted me after a day, which I didn't think would happen. I'm glad it did, but I feel like I am just waiting around for him now because I when I do text first, he hardly answers. I'm not sure if he doesn't think anything is wrong or if he just doesn't want to be with me. If he didn't want to be with me, then I didn't think he would text me. He said that we can "try" to see each other this weekend. I didn't think that was acceptable and that he should make it happen. Then we didn't talk for another whole day and I asked if we could talk on the phone, but he doesn't answer when I call. I am just afraid that if we don't see each other before he leaves, I will be waiting 10 days for nothing. I want to make this work and I think he does too, but how can I when I feel like he is just avoiding me. What should I say to him? I tried to let him go, but he does the minimum to keep me wanting more. Is it over or should I believe him when he says it will be better when he gets back? Maybe I am just being crazy.
