He will be back. Write it down. Guessing he started seeing someone new, got tired of unreciprocated feelings or feeling friend zoned by you. When he is ready he will be back. Guarenteed. Since you have not pestered him and gave him space...FB message him again and tell him you sincerely miss his friendship and are worried and give him your number (again) and ask him to call you.

I doubt he'd cut you out of his life for good. However, if he was very interested in being more than friends, and knows you are not, he very likely wants some time and distance until he's over it. Not just for his own good either, but out of respect for the friendship. Sometimes we go *poof* for a while when we need to, but we generally show back up when the time is right.

Maybe he lost his job and want to get away from everything and everybody.

Very good point. Some of us take job loss pretty hard, and go into full blown hermit mode during our job search.click to expand

Also if he was talking to you about marriage and settling down last time and he got no indication from you that you would pursue this direction with him...then he probably emotionally had the last straw and decided he is wasting years on you hoping you would come around and reciprocate and show interest and he finally decided he wanted to change his life, find a new job, a new girl...settle down. He may have felt strung along by you.
It sometimes takes months but caps DO come back. Almost always unless deeply hurt and have broken trust.

This situation is really complex and difficult to explain, but I wouldn't say i ever gave him no hope of things ever progressing i.e a full on rejection but at the same time I guess I have not been particularly proactive either, i've sort of been in the middle/neutral.
It has been like that for a while, its probably unfair..but I mean i did not expect him to overnight change his mind about me and stop talking to me if you understand what i mean.
I just can't see him doing all of those things because i feel that i would very much still be in the forefront in his mind, or the first person he would think of with regards to relationship/marriage..eeverything.click to expand

As a Cap I have reinvented myself many times in my life. When I make changes in career and relationship, it was a long time coming, it is usually fairly drastic almost like a complete overhaul. I had given it a lot of thought and prepared and planned, so he may have been stewing some things over for awhile.
Sometimes to if things aren't going well and I was forced into change, the effects are worse as far as impact of relationships with friends and faily and I withdraw. I don't wanna show anyone I am not doing well, and I don't want any pity, advice, help...I need to figure things out and being in touch with everyone just complicates things as a cap will feel vulnerable (this is the worst place possible for us) and since we need stability we are desperately fighting to find a solution to get back on track.
You have been a question mark in his life. He knows your a friend but its the capacity he questions and he doesn't have time right now to deal with that. He has to deal with reality, job changes, financial effects...my sense is he needs to figure out his life right now and he is shutting out everyone until he finds his balance. Send good energy his way and have faith he will return when he can. Theres no timeframe. In the meantime figure out what you want with him when he comes back. Is it friendship ONLY? then be prepared to be specific about that.
And if you want to give it a try as far as a relationship..be clear there too. Maybe its time to get out of he gray so you both have more direction and clear intent toward your relationship.

I have nothing new to add. Everything I thought of to mention, has already been mentioned.
I am sure his disappearance has hurt your feelings and I'm sorry for that. I agree with sending him another message on facebook. Just ask if he's okay and tell him you miss him.
Posted by truecap
Well, I have friends I seldom talk to but I still care about them. I still think about them. When we do talk it's like no time has passed. Caps just are very good at keeping in touch with people.
Posted by candy10
I just don't understand why he would do this. I know how strongly he feels about me and how he wants to marry me and all of that so then why leave me hanging with no answers after his number being disconnected and him knowing i have no way to contact him other than stupid facebook

lol its different when you don't keep in touch with someone to when you ignore them when they make contact with you lol.
The thing is he never ignored me before this number disconnection which was now a couple of months back, he'd actually call me up of his own accord AND when i'd be busy or didnt have time to call him back on the day he'd keep track of how many days it took for me to get back to him and ask me why it took so long..so when someone like that just stops talking to me its a bit odd..click to expand

Sounds like your confusing him. Caps hate iffy people. And boy do you sound iffy! Don't be mad. You properly string him on letting him to believe he has a chance with you. You suck! I have had this done to me. Even though I know you want it. If your not ready for a relationship and want to continue dating and flirting, keep it moving... Don't expect him to wait till your ready to grow up.

We mirror people for various reasons, don't know his reason... Oh, and by the way, you won't have to scream, he will read it off your body language...I think he will give you another shot. Will you be ready this time? He will look for a change... Words are nothing to a Capricorn, action is everything!
Posted by candy10
i give nothing away in terms of body language or anything...to be honest it doesnt bother me if he mentions girls in the sense that im so jealous..its just annoying that he says this stuff and seems to enjoy himself..
however im now realising after this incident and the possibility of him not coming back around that in the off chance he does i will have no choice but to be more upfront

Why do you think he enjoys it??? He knows it bothers you. Meaning he can read your body language.
Like I said before, he knows you are fronting. Was his intent clear enough? Why drag what could be any longer? You're not getting any younger.click to expand

I??m in a similar situation and I??m also a cap. Don??t know about other caps, but I have been able to cut girls off from my life if I thought they would play games with me or not be upfront with me. Only girl I couldn??t do this with is the one I??m into right now and I have known her for 5 years. I tried to cut her off and actually we both broke down and cried when I tried, which was very new to me. My take on this is that maybe he has been thinking if it would be a wise idea or not to have u in his life. Maybe he has too many feelings towards u and doesn??t feel u are at the same place. Trust me I know how that feels like as I??m in that situation right now, and it sucks when u know u are the perfect person for someone who can??t see it the same way as it is for now. I think u should do what I do, I tell myself that if it is meant to be the two of us together then it will happen some day and if not, then it was never meant to be that way.
Like one guy mentioned us caps like action not words and if we know exactly that u want us and we want u, then we will stick around for the long haul. Sometimes we do change our minds so maybe he will write u if he is ready and believe u won??t be a bad thing for him to have u in his life again. Just my take of course I could be wrong

Candy, I have a few questions for you. How often do you two speak to each other? Is it once a week, once a month, every other month?
Also, has he posted anything on Facebook such as updates, pictures? You know that he's alive, right? Because you said earlier he did check the message you sent him, he just didn't respond to you.
Posted by Langvad
Because at least for me that is, it is easier to cut people off that we think will hurt us and in that way we save ourselves from heartache down the road. Maybe he has a gf now and if they have been together for some time, and if he knows he got a weak spot for u then maybe he thinks it wouldn??t be fair to her if u were in his life again, as it could mess things up for him.
It could be alot of reasons why. But i feel u, not knowing is difficult, if he meant alot to u.

ok kool, so the next time someone basically says he wants a relationship with me, wants to marry me in the future, tells me he doesn't want any one else, i'll take that as no interest and walk away.

Candy, if he isn't contacting you, that speaks volume. Why don't you get that part? Anyone can say they want to marry you but if they don't show up at the altar, what do you think it means?click to expand
Posted by truecap
Maybe he meant it at the time?
Some guys say a lot of things they don't mean, or meant at the time and no longer feel that way. Just sayin'.
???
Your only other recourse is to get in your car and drive to where he is and look at him eye to eye.

Okay, so when did he say those things to you? Was it the last time he spoke to you or earlier than that? And what did you say back to him when he told you those things.click to expand
