mortensorchid Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 So I was seeing this guy for about 2 months, last Thursday night he said he wanted to take a "step back". He said he wasn't over someone from 6 months ago, and he isn't good during the holidays. But he enjoyed my company and he hoped we would be friends. Just so we're clear here, he obviously is giving me some "I just want to be friends" line, which is clear to me. This unfortunately reminds me of someone else I was with years ago who ruined holidays and occasions left and right. He breaks up with me just before Christmas, came back, and then an hour before I was going to meet my Dad for lunch on Father's Day, he comes over and breaks it off again. Why? I am convinced now it's because he wasn't the center of attention and felt like something was expected out of him. Not that this person is the same, but it very much reminds me of him now that I think of it. Is the reasoning true that he's not over someone from 6 months ago? I don't know, and God knows I've heard that one before when it isn't true. So here's my question : Does taking a step back mean that he wants to be friends, or that he hopes we will eventually go back to where we were? Or is that just a line? I'm not sure, I guess time will tell after all, but ... What do you think?
BackUpOrGetStung Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Say to him, "I'm not sure what you mean by taking a step back, but get in touch with me when you are over this person completely and maybe we can talk."
