So - need some advice on this one. Dated a successful older guy briefly... maybe 3 dates over the course of a month [not unusual for different cities and busy schedules] but talked progressively from every 3 days to every day in past couple of weeks; amazing first date, met his mother on the 2nd date [little strange, I'll give you that, but thought it was cute] and 3rd date. Conversation in all dates surrounded marriage/family [is late 40s and looking to remarry]; has referred to me as his "girlfriend" in passing since the first date; asked about how my family would like him - the works... Everything seemed all right, until he left for a business trip - after being gone that weekend he didnt return a call, and I finally had to call him again at the end of the week to make sure he was all right - he acted normal [sort of put out I called] and just said everything was fine, that he'd just been really busy with work... which I understand, so dropped it. We were both out of town this last weekend, and again, I didnt hear from him until the end of the 2nd week, several days after he got back and again, I had to call him; when we spoke, he seemed anxious to make another date over the weekend- so set up a tenantive time the following Monday [I had houseguests that weekend].. however I woke up to a text message from him that was strangely unpersonal, requesting the number of a serious party friend of ours. I finally sent him a message asking what exactly was going on, was he interested in dating anymore - in a non-confrontational, "hey, its ok, just please tell me whats up" tone... And no response to that, or any message I've sent since. So - I'm obv. upset ... but more curious as to any insight as to how someone goes from "meet my mom" mega-serious to DOA in under 72 hours? This one seems to have everyone stumped.
