Echelon Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 I'm so confused and unsure of what to do. Recently I went on a business trip and met a guy, things got heated and I backed down. Problem solved, right? Well, right after backing out I reached out to my ex. We started chatting and flirting, and next thing I know, he asked to try again. I agreed, but now I'm not so sure that was the right choice. He is a very sweet guy, but he's a bit childish. In addition to that, he has proceeded to tell me that I'm pretty much his only friend right now and that he always wants to see me because he's lonely. He just got a new job, so I'm hoping that will help the clingy attitude, but it's still off-putting to think that I'm pretty much his only source of happiness. What really makes this all more difficult is that on our first date back together, I accidentally said "I love you" to him. I was high off of hormones, and didn't mean it romantically, but he's continued it and means it romantically. I don't know how to get myself out of this mess. It's only been a week and I know this isn't going to last. Again.
hunk Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 ... why did you reach out to your ex? Did he dump you and you just wanted to feel some familiarity/validation after this business trip guy failed or what? You need to let him down ASAP. It doesn't need to be harsh but it needs to be done as soon as possible. You've consciously stated that it's not going to last, so to be in this position for a minute longer makes zero sense and is going to make both of you miserable very soon
