Does anyone know what does he needs time to think, after a convo of saying he doesn't know what he wants.
This was a bit after love isn't easy and telling me i knew along that doesn't think he could love again (which is true, he did say that) and me not believing that he can never love again.
Either im just not the girl for him or he feels for me more than a like. He said he's not happy in VIC anymore and moving back home (in WA) (this is australia). I dont know if that has anything to do with it but we talked about doing LDR.
He does say he likes me and feels for me.
I have no idea what to think :cry: :(

p.s not to be confused, i did another post him moving back to WA cos of his mum.

First of all...

(*scratches head*)

I wanna say I feel like all I do is tell people to break up when what I want to do is help people stay together.

But this...

I just don’t see how you can make this work. Feel free to prove me wrong, but I just don’t see it.

In my experience, LDR’s just don’t work out. Not the way you want to. I left my best friend for school. We said we’d stay together, but then I became attracted to another girl and another. One was just a fling. The other became an ongoing thing for a few months until I had to leave.

My LDR gf didn’t exactly wait for me, either, and at a certain point I kinda encouraged her, um, “fun.”

Relationship over distance is not a relationship.

Now, I’m not saying it’s IMPOSSIBLE. It CAN be done. Happens all the time. Personally, I just suck at it. What I’m afraid of is that you’ll have too much pressure to stay true when you have no real way to know your partner does the same. There’s only just so much people can deny themselves before they give in.

I would say save yourself the energy and look for a sure thing. Have fun and enjoy life! Don’t let a LDR with no future drag you down.
