Well i had my suspicions but one can never be entirely sure. After all i didnt meet the guy. I could only speculate based on conversations and his overall behaviour. His intense blow up at the end came across like someone who has a narcissistic wound. But then again could simply be some kind of insecurity or blow to the ego he felt. There are plenty of reasons which could have resulted in him acting that way, those are only some of them.
For me it doesn't make sense that a guy will continue to show hes interested without actually being interested, and then retract without some thing else going on inside of him.
In the past people who i wasnt interested in and vice versa, we would have stopped speaking a long time before this certainly. There's no feasible way a normal person would have continued this length of time. Yes i understand towards the end he disappeared, but plenty of times before then we were in contact and he demonstratedt that he had an active interest in me
