Back from a Break ??

Okay, so you’re 21 and he’s 23. You dated for four months, then took an eight month break, and now he’s reached out to you about possibly getting back together again, but since you’ve spoken, it sounds like he’s reticent. He isn’t responding to your texts as quickly as you’d like, and while the two of you are dating, you’re not in a “relationship” just yet. I’m sorry you’re confused. I think that you’ve been pretty clear with me about what’s going on and the problem for you is that you don’t have [i]his[/i] clarity about the relationship. The thing is, an eight month break is a long time — and I don’t know why you took a break in the first place. Something must have been bothering one or both of you to agree to that long of a break. Whatever it is, it sounds like he’s still thinking it through, otherwise you’d have more of the positive reaction you’re looking for. 🙂 My advice is to hang back and chill. If you press him he’ll feel like you’re needy, which isn’t attractive. On the other hand, I think you have to assume that you’ve got competition. He may be dating other people or he may just be busy. Either way, it’s important that when he does hear from you or see you that you’re someone he wants to spend more time with — not run from because you’re demanding and unhappy about the relationship status. 🙂 I hope that helps!
