Gee, where do I start?
For a while, I was absolutely head-over-heels for this boy. At the time, I was in a relationship. Any time we talked, we ended up flirting. He complained, "Why can't I find a girl just like you who isn't taken? You're amazing." Well, after a 9 month relationship, I decided to break it off. Since then, a day hasn't gone by where we haven't talked. Though, there's a bit of a downside to him...
He's notorious for using girls for sex. He's never been in a real relationship.
I, on the other hand, am a virgin and plan to stay one for a good while. Fortunately, he understands and respects that.
I actually came across this Reddit profile, being the sneaky, little creep I am. He has written two threads that involve me. One, which is titled "The girl I'm interested in drew this picture of us." I tend to draw things for him quite a lot. In the comments, he proceeded to say how adorable it was and how he's never had anything like this done for him before.
The other, asking for relationship advice because he's confused about the feelings he has towards me. "When I start feeling something, I get scared and run. Kind of give up halfway through on most of the things I do, and I just feel like relationships are a responsibility I can't handle. These feelings are probably typical, but I don't know how to deal with them. I usually just have sex. So...emotions are not my forte." But before the thread ends, he writes "I know if I do get into a relationship with her, it will be long term. No sex. And I'd prefer if I didn't fuck this up this time." My hope for a serious relationship with him ran solely on those few words.
Now, moving on...
Being a typical 18-year-old boy, he's sending me some pretty mixed signals. Just a few weeks ago, I could openly say, "I love you" to him and he would reply with an, "I love you too." Sometimes he would even say, "I love you" first.
Recently, he was telling me how much he can't stand to say those words. Even when joking around. Bummed me out a bit.
He also told me not to get my hopes up because this relationship might not work out because he's not ready for a relationship and I may have to wait a while. Being the lovesick puppy I am, I've decided to wait for him.
But no matter how much he says he's not ready for a relationship, when ever we hang out in public, he'll hold my hand, kiss my cheek, peck my lips, and even cuddle a bit. We have yet to get "alone time".
The texts after we see each other is what I really get excited for. "I miss you already," "Wish I kissed you more," "I just want to hold you," "I love you," "Come see me soon." But unfortunately, the next day he becomes his usual, I-don't-know-how-to-deal-with-these-feelings self.
Just tonight, I got the gruesome "we need to talk" text. He told me he thought we were moving too fast and need to slow down. And me being in love with him is a problem because he can't deal with emotions too well.
I've felt so shitty for the past few weeks. I've finally worked up the courage to call out for advice. How do I deal with this lovesickness? I can barely focus on anything, but him.
