My grandmother always said if a man says he wants a break, give him ALL the time he needs (read: don't ever go back.)
This happened to me a lot in my 20's. I got the ol' 'I'm not ready for a relationship.' Now that I'm much older, I don't think grown folks should be unsure and if they are, that's fine but me, I'm loooooong gone.
More and more I appreciate the guy I date last year. He was single and free as a bird and eeeeeeeeveryone knew it. So if he dated you, sally and suzie, hey, he can do that, he's single. He took and is still taking his time to know JUST what he wants, pays attention to ALLLLLLLLLLL the red flags and wants to make SURE that he and his woman friend are truly compatible. Yes, I got my lil' heart broken because he wasn't ready, never claimed to be and wasn't moved by any one particular person. But really, I can't blame him or be angry at him for chosing this process. He would NEVER be caught with some chick saying to him after months-years of being with him 'I need a break.'
IDK I'm not sure I'm even making sense this morning......
What do you think?
