» Cherie Burbach - how can I make things alright again?

You don't mention why your friend felt a relationship between the two of you "would not work." Is he IN another relationship already? Did he say why he feels this way? Some insight into his reasoning could help.

If he doesn't give you specifics, let me just say that I agree that traveling to another country was a good idea. You needed some physical space because you're obviously in a very confusing situation. However, you still continued to email him, so while you were away physically this man still took up your thoughts and thus, your emotions.

You say that your leaving "hit him hard," yet he never responded back to you when you'd try and contact him. Since he now makes up excuses not to see you I'd say he is either involved with someone else or a player. It also sounds as if the communication in this relationship is all being originated by you and not him.

This sounds like a very one-sided relationship, and the best thing is to walk away before you are hurt further. You need to get some distance and not see or contact him so you'll be able to move on to someone who does appreciate you. As long as you are consumed with thoughts of this guy, you won't be able to find someone else.
