I’ve been seeing a guy for two months. We talk almost everyday, see each other once a week. But he doesn’t want a commitment. We are exclusive, but he’s got an incredibly stressful family situation right now and given the circumstances, he has legitimate reason to keep this semi-casual.
He got weird though the other day when I offered to make him dinner even though he asked me just last week because I’m known among our friends for being a good cook. When I asked him if there was anything in particular he’d like, he got weird. I was frustrated and told him so. He said I was being ‘kind of pushy’. So at this point I know something’s up. I told him I was gonna give him some space and he knew how to get a hold of me. He confessed that it was too much sometimes and like a relationship. I told him to take some space and take care. It was all very amiable and calm.
So I haven’t messaged and am not going to. I know I’ll see him NYE and I figure the thing to do is be friendly but do my own thing. All good so far right?
But on the inside I’m concerned that we’re really through. I have feelings for him, not overly strong ones, but I’m not ready to fold. I honestly think he’s worth being patient with. Did I end it by telling him to take space or did I give him the room to see that I am willing to find a way to make our situation work?
