    Several months after me and my ex broke up he told me he’s not sure he can be the man I need him to be any time soon. I told him I’m not going to give him the opportunity to tell me twice he doesn’t want me and I know my worth and if he can’t see that it’s his loss not mine because I deserve more than lukewarm love. He got in a relationship a few months after that and I went to therapy for the severe anxiety he gave me from stonewalling me when we were together. I often hear “if he wanted to he would” it’s half true in this case because the only thing he did was get in a relationship and avoid working on himself. Choose yourself at the end of the day and don’t settle for someone isn’t sure about you. You’re worth it.

Its not all about you, the world doesn't revolve around you and you dont sound like queen more like spoiled princess. You could have said "i understand and that's okay if you dont feel ready i wont push you into a relationship with me because i dont want to stress you and i dont want to doubt my worth and making you feel guilty about that". That's how a woman answers

      Maybe the way you act is why he didn’t want to be with you. NO ONE can force them self to love someone they dont. We don’t choose who we love - you should respect that he was honest with you, not belittle him for it. It doesn’t matter if it was a day after you two break things off - when the right person comes along, it changes everything

    But 99.9% of them don't say that to the face. They assume that they will be ready in the process but end up messing things up. I respect people who knows what they are thinking and why they are thinking, they know themselves in and out. They respect their emotions along with that of their admirers which is a really really excellent gesture.

      Yeah that's very true. Actually I think it's very important to be honest when it comes to relationships. I once said this at the very beginning because I wasn't sure if I could love again since my heart was still healing and very hurt and the other person said it because they were never in a relationship before, but with time and the more I got to know this person, i saw that my heart is safe with that person and before I knew it, a very healthy and beautiful relationship was formed. We both gave each other the time we needed and took it slow. Trust is very important and that can only be established when both partners are honest, committed, loyal and patient.

      It's a red flag for relationship's sake. A red flag simply means that "that person isn't what you're looking out for to have a committed and healthy relationship." Most times, people like that may even be the ones leading you on, and then tell you that. So why were they being all over you but not wanting to be committed and be held accountable?

    saying, "I'm not ready for a relationship." really isn't always a red flag. There are so many reasons someone might not be ready for a relationship. My and one of my friends have both had long lasting feelings for each other, its really obvious, I know it, he knows it. But he has established that he does not want to date until he is older. i agree with him. We may not be tiny little pre-teens who know nothing about life but we still are so young and really shouldn't be focusing on a relationship. That being said we are both ready to wait. Or maybe, someone is just in a really bad part of their life. They are drowning in collage debt and struggling to stay afloat in their classes. They are not ready for a relationship because they know they do not have the time or energy to get into a committed relationship and give their partner the love they need. Someone being able to admit that they are not in a good spot right now, and a relationship would not be a good idea, is definetly not a read flag. if anything it shows signs of maturity.

    Yes. Yes I do because every other guy in the past 2 years broke his heart not because he is bad or cold but because he feels so worthless and genuinely believes he has nothing to offer
    I'm investing in him to show him he is worth waiting and working. I'm struggling with it immensely but when he comes over he cuddles up and he seems so much happier in person. He is not ready for a relationship and I'm aware of that. He us not ready for a heart break on top of another break.
    It's my greatest honour to sit in the mud with him and just hold his hand until he is ready. And one day if it never happens than I will not regret trying.
    I can say for certain I would regret not trying. Red flags are part of the package you sign up for

    This will be novel’ish
    As someone who is currently in the midst of such a situation. I often find myself researching and trying to learn about a mindset and certain emotions a special girl might posses that I am not used to. Even though I came across this as a search to find answers. I see certain comments and I feel like I can actually share a little to maybe help.
    First of all…… Don’t give up.
    Second……. Don’t listen to respond, listen to reinforce your understanding and your stance.
    After my 10 year marriage ended, I was in a very dark place too. I was afraid of sharing my heart because it wasn’t whole. It was shattered. Suddenly I was a single dad. Something I had never asked for. Tough place to be.
    But I met someone very special about 9 months ago and after hearing just pieces of her story I began to realize that my heartbreak couldn’t compare to the tragic and painful past she was sharing with me. As I stood there listening to her, I knew completely and without question. If I wanted to pursue this woman (and I was certainly feeling that way) I would have to face things that I had no idea how to face. There was so much pain, so much doubt, so much fear, loss, devalued self worth, guilt, etc….. But here’s the thing. Although I saw all of that on the surface. What I saw inside was what grabbed my heart. She was strong. Stronger than she knew, stronger than I had ever seen. I am a man of faith. I try to focus on God and seek his plan. So I cried out and asked for direction. The answer was tenderness not romance. Compassion not lust. Respect not impatience. No way, would I ever crack this shell by thinking for myself. I had to think with her emotions. Learn triggers. See the pain and take some of it upon myself to truly understand. Sure I could do and say many things to teach her how special she is. Remind her of her beauty, her worth, value, and rarity. All of those things are great but without respect for her boundaries and what she needs to process. All would be wasted. Not long after we met. Circumstances changed and the friendship was forced into a long distance connection. To maintain the “vibe” I became attached to talking daily. But she needed help and a time came that I could no longer provide that. When she began therapy to overcome the trauma she had endured. She slowly started pulling away. I saw it coming and knew what was happening. But I still tried my best because I was desperate to see my continued impact. Then she got new advice. The Therapist advised her to distance herself from any emotional pull from others. I was clearly in that category and I completely understood it.
    So recently (the better part of two months) we haven’t had much communication. Her mother reached out to me and explained what was happening very softly and respectfully asked for space. Not just from me. From all outside connections. She had to take time to focus on herself and fall in love with herself again. So as confusing and hard as it’s been. That is what I am doing. She didn’t pull away out of anger towards any pressure I created. She just needed to focus and allow the therapy to take its place in her healing.
    I tell you all of that so I can give the advice that I intended. The idea of running away from her is mind boggling to me. That’s terrible advice and it should be ignored. Ask yourself how many people have already done that to her. I can give you the answer. If she has pain in her past, trust issues, or fear of a relationship. The answer is EVERYONE. Everyone has run from her at some point. That’s why shes here. If she knows your feelings. She knows your desires. Let it be and don’t go away completely until you are asked to do so.
    People ask me everyday how long I will wait for this girl. That question has two answers.
    As long as it takes.
    or
    Or until I am told that I shouldn't.
    Try to remember these things.
    RESPECT (no elaboration needed)
    Don’t give up when she expects you to. Remember its probably her past that makes her feel like you will.
    You are not the cause of her wounds.
    If you love her, love her without apologizing for it.
    If space is needed. Only you can provide it. Shes not going to beg for it. She will ask once, maybe twice. Failing to understand its importance will morph your fears into reality.
    She will never ask you to wait. But you will do it if you think shes worth it.
    She feels guilty that you’re putting your life on hold for her. Ignore that. She feels guilty about things you will never understand. Guilt is probably her most painful emotion to overcome.
    You are not a band aid, so don’t act like one. Hookups are band aids. Affairs are band aids. True friends are not.
    Encouragement is still valuable while giving space. Send periodic messages that she doesn’t need to respond to. Do not burden her with the guilt of “ignoring” you. Remind her that you’re proud. Do what you can to leave love out of it. Just tell her she is strong and you are thinking about her. praying for her etc. Remind her that you are always there “IF” she needs you not “WHEN”. Don’t come across as assuming. (space these messages out. Don’t think daily right now, think weekly)
    Remember that she is probably less in love with herself than you are with her. She has to get there in order to give you or anyone the best version of her. She cannot give the broken version away. The fear of sabotage is too much. If you are good, she fears ruining you.
    She wants to be heard but she will never beg for your ear. You just always have to be listening.
    Take the time to work on yourself. If you have fear and doubt about her. Take the time away to rid yourself of those emotions. Uproot your own darkness that is causing them.
    She likely wasn’t looking for you when you arrived. You showed up out of nowhere. There are probably feelings that confuse her from the very first conversations you had. No matter how much time has passed since. Those confusing emotions still run through her mind. That’s ok. That’s likely good or she would have cut you off completely before letting you into her circle to begin with.
    Remember that the confusion you feel right now does not compare to hers. The time that goes by will suck. You will miss her. But there is nothing else you can do. Tell yourself everyday that you deserve her. Tell yourself that she deserves your patience. Focus on what makes you special to begin with.
    She is worth it. Or you wouldn’t be here asking this question.
    That’s most important thing I can say. When you tell a girl that she is worth it or she’s worth the wait. I promise you shes heard that song before. So far no one has made that true to her. No one has actually finished the song, recorded it, and gave it to her to keep. Be the guy that that completes her playlist. She has a wall that you will never completely tear down. You will remove a few bricks from time to time. But if you really like whats on the other side of that wall. You will try again and again to climb over it. When that person decides to love you she will love you so completely and faithfully that you will be glad you waited. She will not give her love away casually.
    Stay focused. Keep climbing.
    The man on top of the mountain didn’t just fall and land there. (Not my quote)
    God Bless You

      He wasn't sure too. He left me in confusion for a long time. His behaviors were very unstable. He didn't understand me and the responsibilities of this relationship. He even flirted with other girls and stayed close to them and letting them flirt with him at the sake of friendship. It was toxic

    To go all in and to love someone the very first time is a very dangerous thing if you don't want to play games.
    He don't wants to testing or trying out something with me to see if it works or not also if he could be with me not always been worried about me... which wound Not be healthy for him. He wanted to be sure about me.

I feel at least they are being honest so isn’t that a green flag ? I mean it doesn’t mean we can change them but their honesty is what really defines their character right ?
