Long story short, I met a great guy, went out with him a couple times and we slept together. He’s been calling me babe, baby, holding and kissing my hand, making plans for us to do things together in the future. We went out last night and I made him laugh and he jokingly said “I don’t have a ring, but will you marry me?” I developed feelings a while back and the way he was looking at me and the things he was saying led me to believe he felt the same way. At one point last night, he casually mentioned that he doesn’t like to put labels on things. We watched a movie and I pretended to be unbothered, but by the time it was over, my heart was aching. We were walking outside the theater, holding hands and he was looking at me the entire time like I was the most precious thing in the world to him. He pulled me in for a kiss and I turned away and said I had to stop seeing him. He said it was fine and that at least I was straight up about it, but he wanted to know why. I said it was clear he didn’t want more than a friends with benefits and agreed. I turned to leave and he said “See ya, ___!” I turned back around and said “no” He scoffed and said “okay” almost like he was bitter. It’s the morning after and now that I’ve had time to think on it, I think I regret my decision. I had a lot of fun with him and he’s a really great person to spend time with. I’m upset that I threw away a good friendship and *potentially* a relationship down the road. Plus, I didn’t really plan what I said to him and I was hurt, so it came off a little harsh. I really do think I expected too much too soon and acted on my emotion instead of logic. I already really miss him and can’t stand the thought of not seeing him again. What should I do?
How do I tell the guy that I slept with that I want to keep seeing him?
