sugar32288 Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 My ex and I broke up 6 weeks ago because he was confused about what he wanted, needed time for himself, and felt overwhelmed with work. He just turned 25 and I am 24. He has said many, many times how strong his feelings are for me and how it has nothing to do with me. We dated for 5 months but it was intense (saw each other every other day and talked nonstop everyday). Things have gone back and forth since we broke up between not talking and being flirty. We met 2 weeks ago and he hugged me/clung to me for 3 hours, looking like he was about to cry. We didn't speak about our relationship. I was stoic but eventually warmed up and he asked to kiss me. We've been texting nearly everyday since and he asked me to a movie a few days ago. It was really nice, we laughed, and I ended up sleeping over (and sleeping with him). We spoke and were honest. I told him I didn't want to be lead on or be hurt. He said he hasn't been on any dates and has no interest in that; he said he really just wants time for himself but knows it's not fair for him to ask me to wait. He has never lied to me and was a wonderful boyfriend. I asked him if he wanted to take it slow and "date" me once a week or so. He said he didn't like the idea of making a rule but what we're doing (talking, hanging out a bit) is taking it slow for him. He's been texting me just about everyday but I still don't want to think we're heading somewhere if we're not. I can't wait forever. I can't control my emotions too well it seems and part of me just wants to tell him to not contact me at all unless he wants to be in a committed relationship. But maybe what we're doing is the way to go. I just want to be back with him; I think we're perfect for each other.
