I had a crush on this guy and some friends of mine helped me get in touch with him. They gave him my number and tested the water to see if he might want to talk with me. He said he was interested and he'd call. I had his number but waited for him to make the first move. When he didn't call for 3 weeks, I assumed he wasn't interested. I told my friends he never called, he obviously wasn't interested and that I was rather disappointed. He found out, was upset, called me and even sent me flowers.

Thereafter, we spoke on the phone for hours and we really seemed to click. We agreed to go slow and go out. Since he has a business, he is very busy and limited for time, but assured me he'd "love" to go out with me. I put no pressure on him and waited. We still spoke on the phone regularly.

Fast forward a month and a half and still no date. I am still being told he is busy with work etc. and will be going away soon (on vacation!). I am advised he will be away for a month and we'll get together upon his return.

At this juncture, I realize that he obviously isn't interested in me, taking me out or anything else for that matter. This suspicion is confirmed when his sister informs my friend that he doesn't want a relationship. (He has no idea his sister provided this info).

Here is my question: Why the hell does a guy bend over backwards to show an interest, spend hours on the phone with a girl, say he would love to take her out and then the date never materializes? Why does a guy lead a girl on like this? I mean, supposedly, I am what he was looking for; attractive, educated, self supporting, great job, lives alone, makes excellent money, lives independently, has no debt and is highly intelligent. I am not a psycho, do not call or text constantly (I let him do most of the calling), was myself, had no specific expectations for the anything, just wanted to hang out and see how we meshed. All he told me was how tired he was of meeting women who were "bubble heads," became bored with them after a couple of months because they "ran out of things to talk about."
If a guy has someone who may hold good potential then why this demeanor? I am dumbfounded and angry.
Thank you for any insight.

He is seeing lots of people (his quote below) and enjoys you at some level . He is not looking for serious, he may just enjoy talking to you. He sounds very friendly, and knows how to work with the ladies. Sorry, he is a player , don't get your hopes up, look for someone else

I'd have to agree with this post. I wouldn't hang your hopes on this guy, because while he may be interested in you in some way, he's not ready to give up on seeing who he wants when he wants, despite what he may be leading you to believe. Don't expect him to actually be a person of character in this situation; he's already shown that he's not by not coming right out and saying he doesn't want to see you, much less a relationship, and by letting the information get back to you about what he is after through his sister. Sorry, but just because it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck doesn't make it a duck!

Ok, maybe I'm losing my mind, but didn't I just read this post under a different title "What's this guy's deal?"

I thought you'd given up on him and were going to move on? Sounds like someone you probably don't want to waste too much more time on.

I don't know why, but this is something men just do! Please move on as quickly as you can. His actions are in no way a reflection on your value or worth as a person.

It's probably because he only wanted you as a casual friend and didn't want to hurt your feelings. If that's not what you want from him, you should move on.

Actions speak louder than words. This goes for women and men. So if someone says they are interested in dating you, but fail to make a real effort to actually date you....then they aren't that interested.

Why? If you really want to date someone, you will make time in a busy schedule to see this person. You will carve out a night in your schedule and reserve it for her...and not let other people or business stop you from seeing this person.

Your first clue was him not calling for 3 weeks after he got your number. A few days would be normal, over a week and you're maybe an option...3 weeks and he had to be reminded...forget it.

Thank you all for the feedback.

I already saw the movie "He Just Isn't Into BeamingEyes" (I changed the title slightly). I got the picture, still disappointed but moving on.

The funniest part is why you find him so tantalizing.
