Long Story Short: I met a guy and we hit it off pretty great. From the very beginning, I made it clear that my intentions aren't to just hook up or anything casual and he seemed to have understand.. We hung out last Friday and I met a bunch of his friends and went back to his place where I spent the night. During that night, we talked a bit and I asked him what does "hanging out" mean to him. I was very straightforward and told him I think he's a fun guy and I like him and would love to keep spending time and getting to know each other and see where things go. He told me he really likes me and likes "this" and I was still pretty confused about his feelings so I tried to leave. He wouldn't let me and asked me to stay (we did not have sex).
I followed up with some texts the following morning just letting him know that I'm still pretty confused about whether or not he wants to keep hanging out or how's feeling even after he's said, "I really like you. I like this."
He did mention that he took the time to clear his head, He finally responded:
"Hey sorry I’m ************ for work right now. It’s not that I don’t want to hang out. I just don’t think I can give you the energy that you deserve and time. Don’t know if that’s what you’re looking for right now. I’m a fan of transparency and I’m so sorry I wasn’t doing that right off the bat. Didn’t know id be in this headspace that I’m in. I think you’re an absolutely rad girl and have been nothing but great to me. Right now I know I need to beg on myself and start grinding away"
Not gonna lie, still pretty confused about how he feels about me. I'm giving him some space to sort things out because he seems to be going through a funk with work and it's a bummer.
