I know this is going to sound stupid and nonsensical. And I know no one can know the exact answer other than him. But I am trying to get some reasons why someone would tell you such a story.
Imagine you're seeing a guy for a few weeks or so. And he, without any context, narrates you a story of how his friend met his wife. Apparently, his friend knew he would marry that woman within a few hours of meeting her.
Now, the guy you're seeing also told you on a separate occasion that he can't commit so soon. He needs time to decide if he ever wants to commit to you. Okay, fine, understandable. But what was the point of telling that story about his friend?
Was it an indication that he THINKS he would have known on the first day if I am the right choice for him? Maybe subtly hinting to me that he would never commit to ME?
Maybe I'm overthinking this. So, do tell me your opinion. Thanks a lot!
