Search Results: If you love something let it go

My boyfriend (29) and I (27) were dating for almost 4 years. We lived together in a rental for 3 years. We talked about buying a house and had multiple house viewing. After 6 months one of our offers on a house was accepted. The day before we had to sign the contract he said he can’t do it because he needs to live on his own first. He feels like he missed out on that experience because he went to live with me right out of college. He says he hates himself for it and is embarrassed but it’s just something he needs to do. He found a rental for a year and is planning to move in next week. He says he still loves me and hopes we can be together again after he found himself. Also that he was planning on proposing to me next year but this is just something he has to do. Should I stay around or leave him?

I have recently developed a crush on this guy in my friend group. We have been hanging out a lot recently. Last time we hung out he met me at a bar after work. He got me some drink and we were both pretty drunk, Teasing each other a lot. Every time we hang out someone has asked us if we are together, I have a lot of male friends and I don't get asked this unless I'm with him. Our friends think we should go out but I'm not sure if he is interested. Later on that night, we were talking about who is stronger. So we had several playfights in the middle of the street at like 4 am. He won and very easily pinned me to the ground. I'm pretty sure he let me win the last time.

If I ask him to hang out he tends to reply quickly but when I text him with something that isn’t a question he doesn’t reply. He also lives with his ex-girlfriend, they broke up in the summer and they both seem happy to be apart but I'm not sure if he is completely over it.

I feel like there is something between us and I want to see where it goes but I don't love that I always ask to hang out and he doesn’t. He is like that with everyone tho. Am I being delusional or is something there?
