I confessed my feelings to him and he hasn't replied back?

[Anonymous]

I have been talking to a guy for the past few months and I started to realize that I have strong feelings for him. We agreed to be friends with benefits but I don't want to be that, nor do I want to be just friends. I told him that I want a relationship. It has been three days and he has not replied. Our situationship is a bit weird. We will talk a lot, then get into arguments and take some breaks from each another. But we usually always come back to one another at some point. So, I am not sure how to feel about him not responding to the message.

It’s understandable that you may be feeling anxious and uncertain after confessing your feelings to this guy and not receiving a response. It's important to remember that everyone has their own communication style and habits, and it's possible that he may need some time to process his own feelings and respond to you.

It's also important to recognize that being honest and open about your feelings is a brave and important step towards building a healthy and fulfilling relationship. However, it's important to respect his boundaries and feelings, even if they may not align with your own.

If he does not respond to your message in a timely manner, it may be helpful to reach out to him again in a non-confrontational and respectful way, while also expressing your own needs and expectations clearly and honestly. If he still does not respond or is not interested in pursuing a relationship, it may be necessary to accept his decision and focus on building healthy and fulfilling relationships in other areas of your life.

Remember, it's important to prioritize open and honest communication, mutual respect, and empathy in any relationship, while also recognizing and respecting the boundaries and feelings of others. It's okay to take things slow and to focus on building a healthy and fulfilling life for yourself, even if it means letting go of a relationship that is not meant to be.

You did the right thing being upfront about what you want, if he rejects you now, he was never going to date and probably just wanted to use you for sex until someone more to his taste arrived.

I understand you might be concerned now, but you definitely did the right thing.
