Yes, I had the exact same issues. That the guy I was calling about still cared, yet when I started to be interested in someone else I was told to stay friends, it wouldn't go anywhere, he was dark, no commitment, etc. I only called a few times when I was interested in the new guy (trying to see where the old guy was before I cut him loose) but that was the gist of it.
Bottom line was, that was Sept 2011. I'm still with that dark, non-committal new guy (best rs EVER, he is completely devoted to me and I to him) and haven't heard from old guy since Aug 2011 (except for a random fb post over 2 years ago when he was in an accident). As a matter of fact, old guy was recently arrested for something quite shocking and I'm so glad I'm not involved with that family anymore.
Again, 100% wrong
