NO text message, NO phone call, NO email -- but when I'm with him he said he's missing me ?!! I don't feel the same. That's now what I'm looking for. It's a waste of time right? If you want to have a relationship with someone, I believe that communication is so important. What can you say?

Good communication is paramount for a relationship to work. No communication=no relationship.
StillOfTheNight: With no communication, you have no way of knowing where the other person stands. If this is becoming an issue, you may want to consider moving on.
Thanks Still. That's what I have in mind. He was asking me to give him a chance as he really like me a lot ( that's what he said a week ago ). And that's what I did but he's hopeless. I can't even talk to him.

A relationship will never work under those circumstances. Even poor communication is better than none (though it can create its own problems).
NotABlonde: If you don't feel the same it wouldn't be fair to keep it going anyway.
Yes, I don't feel the same .
How will you miss someone who doesn't even bother to give you a call or message?. It's vital to set what you want from the beginning. And I told him exactly what I want in a relationship .. but I'm so disappointed..

Some guys just don't see things how we do, they don't have to have constant communication. Be careful what you wish for though, I dated someone who sent endless texts, emails, phone calls. It was relentless.

Some women have refused to have a relationhsip with me because, apparently it is a deal breaker for them that, I refuse to text message. If someone has something important to say they may always call me. I will find the time to chat. So, people have a different expectations of communications. I believe in quality time and giving my 100% attention to people in my "here and now". But, I also have a complicated life and can't send a text every two minutes to remind someone that I still love them. Okay, I can't send a text every four minutes to remind someone I am thinking of them and love them. Okay, I can't send someone a text every ten minutes, because they expect to hear from me and be reminded I still love them. So, I guess it is all perspective and these things should be worked out early on... in "these are my requirements" for a relationship. I never ever got to that point, as I am still trying to tie the carrot on to the string and the string on to the stick.

In these times of equality, why not be proactive and text him, call him, email him? If he does not acknowledge your pleasantries, then perhaps you have a problem.

Very well said IQ. But just like what I said.. A call or a message in a day will make me smile.

I don't have a problem . that's for sure. He aid it's his work and daughters ..
I myself am single-handedly self-employed and a single-parent to four 24/7 so perhaps I understand where he is. He probably wants to see you and enjoy your company with hopes to build into something but is overwelmed with responsibilities. He may also not wish to bother you at an inappropriate time with a call and maybe he does not have constant access to the internet. I would not give up on him just yet. Be pro-active and remind him just how much he means in your life and hope he gets your message. Yes, communications is a keystone to any relationship.

You speak a lot of sense, lQQkingferU. Good luck with your search :)
