Hi Meredith,

I dated a guy for almost a year and he ended up going back home, overseas. He has plans to work in another country and eventually move back to the country where we met, albeit in a another state. We have never discussed what would happen in the future and said we would “keep in touch.” Apart from a couple of text messages, I haven’t heard from him in over a month. I sent him a few messages that he hasn’t replied to, and basically I have been ghosted.

In the last message, I mentioned I had a couple of weeks off and maybe I could see him in his home country – but no reply. In a way I understand; he doesn’t see a future with me. But why wouldn’t he just say that instead of ghosting me? Needless to say, I have feelings for him and want to work something out. I think it may have been my fault that I wasn’t open with him about how I felt and what I wanted. Would it change anything if I emailed him about how I feel?
