You know, I really agree with Dawson on this one. People need to deal with their feelings and emotions in their own way. You can't force him to "admit" anything. Maybe he needs some time away. You need to stop trying him make him tell you things and give him the space to deal with his issues. During that time, show him love, show him kindness, show him some grace. Don't get pushy, don't get all "oh woe is me", don't get whiny. Just be there for him, love him and hope that in another week or so he'll either have had a chance to deal with his feelings and move forward with you or decide that he can't move forward with you. But you can't force it and the more you try to push him to "admit" things, the worse it is going to be. He wants you to leave him alone about, so do that. Ask him how his day is. Plan a special date. Drop the subject for now and let him be the one who brings it up.

Ya know, as far as relationships go, it just doesn't always matter what we want, the other person is gonna do what they're gonna do. There is no magical course of action that, when performed in the right order, will cause someone to want to stay with you- they either want to be in a relationship with you or they don't. If it's the latter, there's nothing for you to do but to move on.

And, SOMETIMES, that will bring them back.

Go to him and prove to him that you love him more than anything. I know it is the hardest thing to do but it might help you alot of future heartaches. Show him that you care hell even invite that friend of yours to go out with him and your guy and make sure he comes with a girl so that your man can see that every one has got there life and your pecking friend is just a friend
