You could always try the age old 'It's not you it's me' line. Tell him you need to focus on your studies or your job. Your just to busy at this time in your life.

My first question is this: are you sure he's ignoring you? There may be a perfectly valid reason. Did you send him an email and he just hasn't responded? Did you send him an IM that he didn't reply to?  Did you call and leave a vmail and not get a call-back?\n\nFirst, make sure that he is not out-of-town on a family emergency. If you are positive that he has been receiving your messages and purposely not responding to you, only then should you proceed with what I call my secret weapon: the handwritten letter.\n\nWrite him a letter that says the following:\n1. Intro paragraph. Tell him that you really value your friendship and that you are concerned about him. He has not been responding to your calls/ims/emails like he normally does, and you would like to know what's wrong.\n\n2. Body. Tell him that you are not sure if there is anything going on in his life (maybe he is depressed and not speaking to anyone? maybe a relative passed away and he is trying to cope with the loss?), but that you want to be there for him because you care about him. He should know that he can call you any time, day or night.\n\n3. Body, Part II. Tell him that if nothing is wrong, that you were worried that he was angry with you. Describe your last interaction and how you thought that all was well between you at that time. Apologize in advance if you offended him and assure him that it was completely unintentional. Finally, tell him that if it was something that you did, that you would like to talk about it.\n\n4. Finally... Tell him that you miss talking to him and hope that everything is ok. Tell him that you were thinking of some fun time that you guys shared together and that you hope to see him soon. Tell him to take care of himself and sign it \n\nYour friend always,\nXXXXXX\n\nThen, deliver it straight to his door or mail it to his house. Either way, nothing has the impact of a handwritten note in terms of sincerity and thoughtfulness. Try it. I promise he'll be back in no time. ;)

same here! I dont know what to do either. Keep waiting & we will know. I think if he loves you, he will call you so be patient but anyway try to call him sometimes, maybe he's really busy.

you wait or you confront him in a calm manner tell him that i don't want to be confused and you don;t want to receive wrong messages from his gestures,.ask him do you or do you not be honest with your answer it's a one time shot if you lose you will lose a person you really desire. it's up to you, tell him that!

Unless you know the reasons for not responding, you cannot come to the conclusion. You have to wait for some time. Have patience.

my brother was over seas for a while, and i barely ever heard from him. it is hard for them to get to the phone, etc, they are so busy and focused on what they are doing. i would keep it up, you probably dont realize your emails are making his day. i would think you should keep it up.

You'll only appear needy if you keep emailing or calling him from here on out. You emailed your phone number, leaving no doubt you are interested in him. Leave it up to him now and resist the urge to contact him again until he chooses to contact you!  Men like a little bit of a challenge.

I think you should tell him how you feel about him once again and if he don't respond to you then maybe you should move on because if he can't get over this the truth is it would be hard to make a relationship work with him anyway there would be trust issues i believe speaking from experience. So tell him how you feel about him and see what happens. If he don't respond then maybe you should try to find someone else and stop waiting for this guy.

Yes, email him. At least he'll know then that you didnt kiss him because of lack of interest and you never know, things could progress later.

Trust that he had something more important to do than email you at that current time.  If he treats you great like you said give him some slack and not fret over a missed email he diserves more credit than that.   Maybe if you try treating him like a prince he'll notice you pay attention to his kind efforts and will do more for you.  He sounds like a good guy, little things shouldn't erase the big ones hope i helped good luck :-)

don't call him anymore.. but if you reallyyyyy wanna talk to him (which you prob should just to clear things up) you could try sending a text or IM and seeing if he responds..

then get tough on him. Make it clear that its over. If push comes to shove it can be harassment if he calls or emails over and over.

Let him email you and start a conversation. That would be a good way to find out if he really misses you. And if he does email you first then do not act desperate and reply to the email immediately. Wait for a couple of days before you reply. Let him sweat for a while.

Phone calls, as in plural? I believe you should call a guy once leave a message and then wait. If he doesn't call back, he is either rude or not too into you, both of which you want nothing to do with. Remember there are plenty of sih in the sea. And waiting sucks, so try and think of the other things that you have to do. Try not to contemplate your self-worth at this point. It is more a question of relationship worth.
