This guy i've liked came back into my life but i'm not sure how to feel

4 Comments

I went out with a guy 3 years ago. I didn't do much I wasnt so interested so eventually he moved on, met someone else which I came to regret but I couldn't do anything.

He's now got in touch again. He told me he's not looking for a relationship so he said let's be friends and see what happens. This is because he's been through a lot - an accident, getting dumped and losing his job. So he's rebuilding his life.

Eventually he told me truth is he likes me and wants to date me but wants to see where things go and take it slow. It's ironic because i've said this to EVERY guy i've liked but no one ever gets it, thinks i'm leading them on but i'm just shy and slow with opening up which always makes me end up hurt when no one understands and just leaves and in his case it's very understandable he needs time.

There's lots he doesn't know about me and i'm nowhere near as experienced as him cuz he might be more sexual than me... I have no desire dating. I dated an aquitance for a bit this year and it went bad, he was very pushy and demanding. My mental health has declined this year and I have no energy. He wants to get to know me better. He also lives at a distance which makes meeting again impossible right now. It feels as hopeless as everything else does lately

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    If you'd like to try just being friends, just let him know that that is all you are interested in at this time. Getting to know someone as a friend doesn't have to be a big process, you guys can just chat and maybe go do something fun together every once in awhile.

      I guess but I feel a bit stressed because it takes a lot of effort and energy to get to know someone well. And I guess im just tired and cynical at this time
