SHOULD I ASK FOR A SECOND CHANCE?

I panicked and sent a very hurtful text to a wonderful guy I met on a night out last November. In just a few hours together, he showed me more attention and kindness than any man I have met in my 45 years. I thought he was amazing. He said he wanted to meet up for a weekend and we started texting daily. Then he made a comment that worried me. He said, ‘I’m divorced but I do not want to talk about it.’ I felt that meant he was not able to commit if we started anything. I sent him a text saying that I didn’t want anything more to do with him and I was going to delete his number. Later, I sent him a message saying I was sorry I had hurt him and maybe our paths would cross again. I was hoping he would respond, but he didn’t. My friends tell me to forget him but it’s difficult. I can’t be a doormat and contact him again. Could you please advise me? He probably didn’t respond as your text saying you were going to airbrush him from your life was perhaps rather over the top and he was either hurt or felt that you were going to be difficult to handle. It does sound as if things were a bit rushed though – asking to spend the weekend together after just one meeting was a bit abrupt; after all, you hardly knew each other. Jumping into bed on virtually the first date is not the best basis for embarking on a committed relationship. You could try one last text to say how lovely you thought he was and you regret what you said. Saying that maybe your paths might cross is a bit vague so I would advise specifically asking if you could meet. If he still doesn’t respond, you may have to accept it’s over.
