It can be confusing and frustrating when someone you’re getting to know suddenly disappears, especially when there seems to be a mutual connection. There could be a number of reasons for his behavior.
Personal Issues: He might be dealing with personal problems that he didn’t feel comfortable sharing. Sometimes, people pull away when they’re facing challenges in their lives.
Fear of Commitment: He might have developed feelings but could also be afraid of getting too serious or vulnerable. Disappearing can sometimes feel like an easier option than confronting those emotions.
Miscommunication: It’s possible he thought the feelings weren’t mutual or believed she wasn’t interested. Lack of his contact information could have stemmed from being shy or uncertain about how she felt.
Life Circumstances: There could have been an unexpected life change, such as moving away for a job or personal reasons, that made it impossible for him to stay in touch.
Avoidance of Awkwardness: Some people struggle with confrontation and might avoid a situation they worry could lead to rejection or awkwardness, like asking for a phone number.
While it’s tough to understand his choice to vanish, sometimes it’s best to focus on your own path and the connections you build moving forward.
