Well I called him tonight and asked what he wanted and it turns out he doesn’t want anything serious. Am I hurt? Of course. But I’m also relieved in many ways knowing that I don’t have to constantly wonder or question where we are in terms of “dating”. Thank you so much for the advice, and I will be sure to check into the books that you mentioned. I have always had intentions on focusing on myself and what I want/need out of life, I’ve just kind of put them on the back burner but now this has been a wake-up call for me and I think I’m now ready to focus on my wants/needs & happiness.
