Search Results: true feelings or actions

I have one male friend since 2015. He confirms he has feeling for me, from last year he also don't directly says "I love you", but when I talked about relationship he says we don't match, because be are different (actually it's not true, it comes from his mother who is against of me). Last December I said "let's make pause and don't see each other", he agreed. One month later I texted him and he said that was hell for him, but he accepted it to make me happy. Actully it was horror for me too. I also afraid to break contact with him because then he make mistakes which destroy his life. Since January he is in relationship with girl who likes only his money, he agreed with it but still with her. At the same time, 3 weeks ago he said that he loves me even 2 and I just had no reaction, because I think it's just words and he will reject me again. I really don't know what I should do, I love him as well, but his actions are disappointing. What would you do, if you'd be on my place?

So let’s say you are early twenties and seeing someone of similar age. You both really like each other a lot maybe in love. They are the one who asked you it but as you had far more experience you kind of set the pace. They seemed totally ok with this then suddenly they want to start over and date properly going at a more “reasonable” pace.

They claim they don’t want to break up and insist their feelings have not diminished. Just simply the two of you became very close very quickly and kind of jumped into a full relationship and this is all very new and unexpected. Not that they are blaming you for their own actions. They just realize they got ahead of themselves and feeling very out of control with how fast it all is and need to take a step back.

They want to work up to where you guys are at , slowly. As if they missed the whole “beginning new to dating” and ended up nearly engaged after a few months -from never having dated before.

Each time you discuss it, They emphasize just want to go slowly, they don’t want to leave you.

Wouid you be ”skeptical as to their true intentions?

Wouid you believe they are genuine yet still be worried?

Wouid you just give it a go?
