Last Thursday we were chatting and had what I thought was the beginning of an interesting conversation. He said he had to deal with a crisis at work and I asked if everything was OK. He said he needed to explain to his boss why he needed a transfer to a different branch (he works at a bank). I inquired about the transfer and he said, "yeah it might be a better fit."
I asked "why is that?" and then he abruptly stopped talking to me. I heard nothing from him until Monday morning. No explanation. Was I prying? Should I have asked no questions? A "better fit" is a vague reason for changing jobs and is often a lame excuse for personal failure. I know people who have used "better fit" as a reason for leaving a job. In reality they were fired. And probably for good reason.
Now the texts and chats are very superficial. "How are you?" "How's your day?"
Please just stop.
I think it says a lot when I would rather do work than talk to him.
Just go away.

Wow...weird! I wouldn't think that's a nosy question at all! If I said "I'm transferring jobs" I would be totally prepared for whoever I was seeing to ask why...
Loser.
maybe he has to transfer due to a pending sexual harassment case? I can see him maybe not wanting to discuss that with you....
Why can't the guy just ask for a date or make a phone call already? Geez!
Well if you're done, you're done. But if you want to know what happened, you could also ask him. 'hey did I say something wrong? You know I really didn't want to pry...'
Misunderstandings, one way or another, happen so fast...
How were you two conversing last Thursday? Text messages? Phone? E-mail? Chatting online?
If it was via text, it's POSSIBLE he never received your message (or he received it, but you never received his response). That's happened to me before. I've sent texts and the person flat out, for whatever reason, never received them.
That remote possibility aside...
That was a perfectly normal and casual question you asked him. To NOT have asked it would have shown indifference on your part. So, I don't know what the guy's deal is. If he didn't want to talk about it, he could have easily found a polite way to relay that to you.
Eek! That is weird. I would be the same way, backing off. That's just kinda strange.
Very strange. Where do you find these guys? Oh yes, you pay eHarm to send them to you! *hugs* They need to do better. Mr Listener is actually incredibly supportive of my efforts and realizes that in comparison to him, I am far MORE health-conscious than he is.
I agree, that was a perfectly innocuous question. How weird!
funny stuff, seemed like a logical question ... must have struck some kind of nerve?
So him saying "yeah it might be a better fit." is totally vague and you did nothing wrong by asking him why. I dated a guy who reminds me of this, he would give me no details whatsoever. I do not want to pry but c'mon give me some info so I know WHY he was acting or feeling the way he was!! I guess Men are from Mars, women are from Venus.
Oh, GAMES...
I so don't miss them.
I'm sorry, love :-(
I think you were too perceptive for him. Something happened at work that he doesn't want to reveal to you, and he's not happy that you were too smart to fall for the "better fit" line. That's why he's acting this way.
LMAO i <3 you!
Um, maybe he's just a dick?
Thank you for the link about TGM.
he is crazy... btw greetings from malaysia
