Met this guy casually as a friend (23, a year younger than me) and he started hinting at liking me but did not directly confess…eventually after 2 weeks I fell for him because his personality fits exactly what i want in a man…upon confession he said that he likes me too but cannot commit right now because he is still healing from his recent trauma (6 months back relationship trauma where he got cheated on after spending so much time, money and even getting failed because of missing classes for that girl), and right now he genuinely got no time to meet or hangout because of classes till evening and then his part time work, both of which he cant miss because its related to him going out of country in few months for a short internship (he has been working his a** off for it, and i have seen it)….he still said that he wanted to keep in touch and be best friends and believes that if right time comes, our relationship could take off, but as of now he really cant devote time and is still coming out of the past trauma..
I love him enough to wait for him for long, but later if i find out that he would still not be ready, it would hurt me bad because i cant keep seeing him as a friend anymore, and it also would hurt him if i try to meet new people but said that he would understand me…What DO I DO? and does this guy even like me at all? (i think if he really did, he would have made us official no matter wha).
