    Hi,

    I met him met 6 months ago, I had a boyfriend that time. My ex boyfriend and I were literally on the rocks when I met him. Things has happened, I’ve decided to break up with him since it was really toxic. My friend stayed with me without knowing all the fuss of my ex. At first he was so aggressive, has been telling about his interest towards me. Frankly told him that I wasn’t comfortable about him acting like that, and we should just be friends. He slowed down. I started to know him more as a friend, I’ve opened up, we’d talk everything under the sun, there were times he would still say that he likes me. We were enjoying each others company. However things also started to change. I felt like he wasn’t vocal anymore about how he likes me, then I realised that I already like him. One day he asked me if I am ready to have a boyfriend, I said yes, even though I’m scared I know that I’m ready and also willing to take the risk. Then he shared that he wasn’t ready to have a girlfriend yet. I felt a bucket of ice poured out all over me. I decided to keep my feelings, but it made me felt worst. Though things were usual, we go out, we have break times together, he introduced me to his family and friends, efforts etc. I know I have been expecting something deeper from him which made me insane. A month after, I have decided to tell him how I feel. That I am very confused because of this uncertain relationship of ours. He was a bit shocked, he said that he knows that this moment will come but it was way too earlier than he expected. He shared that he is also confused, what he knows is that he is happy when he is with me but he isn’t ready yet, he is not yet sure if he can give his trust again. He decided to lie low from me. It has been 5 days and I really miss him. I tried to ask if he do missed me, he said yes but he has reasons.

    Ps. He came from a 4 years relationship, 10-11 months ago. Her ex girlfriend left him for a new guy, she is now married with him and has given birth this month. It was clear to him that he wasnt the father. He was also vocal that he has moved on already.

    Dear Gillie:

    It reads like his first interest in you was physical, that he aggressively pursued a sexual relationship with you. Later you became friends and at one point, he communicated to you that emotionally he is not interested in a relationship with you other than physical and/ or a friendship.

    What do you think about my understanding at this point?

    Hi Anita,

    Sorry it took a while. I recently heard some of his previous f*ckboy stories while being in a relationship. I was a bit dismayed, but at least I knew it earlier. He shared to one of our friends that he liked me, but he thought things was getting too fast and he is still not ready yet. Though I still felt like I was victimised by his efforts and interest, I just remind myself that everything wasn’t true as it seems to be. Most probably, I got too overwhelmed by his gestures so things also went too fast. It was like a game that he is good playin at.

    Dear Gillie:

    He shared with a friend that he liked you. I am sure he did. He was also very attracted to you physically. When a man is sexually attracted to a woman and in need of a sexual interaction, a man is very motivated to make it happen and it is not the time for the woman to assume that what he says, in that state of mind and body, to be true, not beyond the moment.

    The sexual attraction and need of a man, when happening, does not allow the honesty that is possible when not in that state of mind and body.
