Is what I said to this guy okay?

Yep, you left the ball in his court to reach back out if he’s interested. Other than that I would just move on now if I were you. Sure you could keep in touch like he offered but you don’t owe him anything and it’s hard to tell if he’s genuine or just giving you some consolation prize he has no intention to honor. Time will tell.

Agreed. I am planning to move on, just hoping I’m not inviting myself to unwanted conversation if it isn’t directly what I am looking for because you know how men are lol overthinking my response

It’s ok I think we are all guilty of overthinking at one time or another lol. Hopefully your message doesn’t bring unwanted conversation but if it does then just ignore him. It’s hard, especially if you go to school or work with him and have to see him often, but it gets easier.

[ShiftingMonke]

So you decided to let him try again?

[Asker]

Does the text I sent sound that way?

[ShiftingMonke]

Yeah. You've posted about this guy previously and I remember the backstory. He's used his mental health to justify poor communication skills and potentially ghosting/manipulation. In your last post I recommended blocking him and moving on, because any communication with him is simply playing by his rules in his game.

[Asker]

@shiftingmonke so I’m still in between. It could be his mental health. I will only block someone if they have downright disrespected me and I think at least him stepping up and being honest about how he feels is way more respectful and maybe in the future we will cross paths.

[ShiftingMonke]

Fair enough, I hope it's a positive outcome no matter what happens. Good luck and godspeed.

It's completely fine. What's wrong with it?

[Asker]

Just trying not to invite unwanted conversation lol so now I’m overthinking. Like I don’t want him to feel like he has access to text me with nothing really behind it, like him just being bored

[Brando10222]

He looks interested in you a little

[Asker]

So just back story, he basically ended things because he said he couldn’t give me his 100% due to mental health problems and he the way he wanted to do things is 100% and not half assed. So I am happy to give him space

Yea that’s fine
