going out with a pretty and nice woman is an ego-boost for a man, even he's not serious about finding something meaningful, he's possibly not even looking for a booty call. He's just looking for an ego-boost. I met men like this before.

I must agree with the poster who said he is probably just looking for a booty call (either that or web cam porn...of you!). Stop talking to him alltogether, he seems not to be worth you time.

There is nothing in your post that would lead me to think this guy is shy. He is just not that interested in you and probably has other matches that he is going out with that are not long distance.

He also sounds like he may be a player.

I would close him out and move on. Nothing good is going to come from him.
Definitely agree! No need to explain YOURSELF...

+1

Or he's licking his wounds from a recent breakup and checking to see if his mojo still works.

Sounds like he's married and having to steer around his wife.

I'd say it's an overwhelming majority for "don't let him treat you like that", so I'd go find myself a better one.

This is definitely NOT a shy man...

There are shy men. No one likes being rejected. There are men who spent most of their time in their lives at work and never developed social skills...

I think that for a guy to get past the point where he doesn't get concerned about rejection is to get to a certain amount rejections. With shy guys this number is just higher and they take a lot longer to get over the fact that they are expected to be the one asking for numbers, etc. Thus the one getting rejected
