Hello.

It sounds like you are having a tough time knowing what to do.

My advice would be, to give him space. Don’t text or call, don’t arrange to meet up or fix anything. He is unsure of what to do by the sounds of it and nobody likes to feel stressed or drained.

Give him a bit of breathing space and see if he comes to you. If after a few days/week he hasn’t – maybe send him a text message – completely off topic “Do you fancy going for some food on Saturday?” and see what his reply is.

If he doesn’t respond or he tells you he still wants to be friends, then there is nothing you can do. If he meant what he said when he said he wants to marry you, then he will come round. Maybe then calmly chat about how you need to talk this over next time and avoid this happening again.
