lemonlegs Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) I'll try to be as concise as possible. Backstory: Look at previous posts. Basically, my guy friend and I have acknowledged chemistry between us, but we have both been in and out of relationships with our exes. However, both of them ended this past week, and while talking about it, he told me that though he knows there's some feelings between us, he simply can't be in a relationship due to just breaking up with his ex and the fact that he's extremely busy with school, and I'm in the exact same boat, so I agreed. We talked Saturday night and I told him he was right in breaking up with his girlfriend, and since our situations were so similar, that it was time for me to as well. Today, I texted him telling him that me and my boyfriend had broke up yesterday and that I felt a little bit relieved because it was necessary due to fighting, etc. HIM: Probably good if you want to keep yourself open to dating other people, right? (Note: I in NO WAY told him that this was one of the reasons for breaking up or what I intended to do) ME: Yeah, I guess so. I've always been a person that tended to be happier while single, but maybe that's cause I haven't found the right guy yet. HIM: I suppose so. ME: Well, you agreed that sometimes being single has it's good aspects, and I do believe that. HIM: Well, I'm on the fence about that now. ME: About what? Being single? HIM: Yes ME: Well, sure it's good to have companionship and someone always there for you, but sometimes a bad relationship isn't worth it. If I find someone good for me? Cool, usually happens when you least expect it. HIM: Yep. After that, he was really short, only one-word responses... Maybe I'm looking too much into it, but it seemed as though he was a little taken aback when I said that I wanted to be single...what do you think? Edited November 29, 2011 by lemonlegs
norajane Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Since he's already acknowledged some chemistry between you, I'm sure he was taken aback that you said you're HAPPIER being single than in a relationship. That tells him you would not be someone he could ever date, not now and not later. So yes, I think he was taken aback.
