Ok, I’m a bit confused. I seem to have given off the impression to you that I’m against or not ready for commitment? I assure you that’s not the case. Your point that I didn’t express this to my girlfriend is valid though and I may have been unwittingly giving off mixed signals. I certainly don’t [i]blame[/i] her for things, but she is typically a strong, confident girl who speaks her mind and I guess I just figured that if she was wanting a higher level of commitment, she would let me know.
I hadn’t considered the idea that she was waiting for a serious sign of commitment from me. If that’s the case I have really dropped the ball. The idea that she proposed this break instead of simply asking or discussing commitment with me still seems out of character for her but I suppose it’s a possibility…
Unfortunately, my gut feeling tells me that she is the one who in unsure of whether she wants to commit to me. I now see this as a double edged sword though because why would a woman want to commit to a man if they felt that he wasn’t interested or ready for commitment? Is that a safe analysis?
