Dear Diana,

I met a guy through a mutual friend a few months ago. He told our friend that he really likes me (I feel the same about him). The problem is he seems to be blowing hot and cold.

He has told a number of people that he is interested in me and when I see him, he acts as if he is (asking me questions, walking me home etc). The problem is he doesn't seem to make much effort to see me. The thing is recently he said he'd come out one evening (again in a wider group of friends) and then he cancels at the last minute saying he is too tired.

I'm starting to take it personally thinking if he's as interested in me as he says he is, he would make the effort to come out! Am I overreacting about this? I haven't put any pressure on him at all to move things forward. Is this something I should pursue? I really like him!
