Since the start of the new year I met this amazing guy. We fell in love so hard with eacht other, that I often thought; 'This is too good to be true'.

 

We had a wunderfull time together: laughing, good bedtimes, doing nice stuff togheter, I met his friends and we just had a lot of fun.

We saw each other a lot, as we live opposites of each other (I live in an appartmentcomplex). His room is like 2 meter away from mine.

 

Last Sunday he asked me to meet his sister this weekend. I was nervous (healthy nerves) but excited. Tuesday all went wrong. He was acting weird: being silent and stuff, it didn't felt good. I asked him what was wrong and after a lot of drama, he told me he didn't know if he was ready for a relationship (he is 24, first relation, I am 25 and I had some).

My world collapsed, after a few heartbreakes I actually gave up on love, till I met him. I was so happy and in love. Yes, though it went fast, I loved him to pieces. I was and I am crazy about him.

 

After a lot of drama on Tuesday, I went yesterday to his room. I said we needed to talk. He said he don't know what he wants, he told me as well that he is still in love with me and still thinks we have something special, but he don't know how to handle his feelings. He thinks its pretty scary to live just next to each other and he thinks I want to be with him all the time. He said he needed some time alone. Of course I want to give him this, and actually I encourage him a lot to keep seeing his friends a lot.

 

I'm feeling so sick of the situation and I'm so depressed. I don't want to lose him, but it feels like the beginning of the end. Why would you give up on someone when you love that person? Why does he need some time all of a suden.. It sucks that I live so close to him: I can hear is door and everytime that happens, my heart jumps and breaks at the same time. The only thing I do is crying. I want to go to him so badly, but maybe that's a really bad idea.

 

Please, help me :(

What you do is you get up and go out at a different time to your usual.

 

You do not knock on his door or spend time with him. You close your door when you are home.

 

Go out with friends, go to extra study groups, go running, go for long walks, join a sports team, invite your girlfriends back for drinks.

 

But for the time being he does not exist.

 

Change up your routine so its not predictable.
