Ugh. Im happy that you were able to say exactly what you were thinking and how you feel but the expectation to see someone the same evening and expecting them to drive three hours is too much. He told you he needed time to process and you aren't allowing that. Relationships are about trust, compromise and balance.
I hear you! My goal was to respect his boundaries while also being clear about my desires and not hiding them.
I think it's important to say what you want, especially in the beginning. I also think if he took three weeks to see me, there's a chance I'd get distracted and lose interest.
I don't think I handled it perfectly, but I certainly don't regret the way I acted.
You CAN go slow! Slow is wonderful. I think his assertion that he needed to process was super aware and healthy. NRE is a hell of a drug. Grounding in your own personhood after a super dreamy first date is a great idea. So glad you’ve found someone who can communicate so well, and who you feel comfortable speaking your truth to. Y’all have nothing but time. Love isn’t an emergency ❤️
I answered "yes I want to know what happens next!" Because I got to the bottom of your post/article/this haha and felt tricked by the title, BUT I like the storytelling vibes I just need to adjust my expectation as I thought I was getting up to current date to hear about that same weekend.
I’ve found so much comfort since you’ve started doing these new short story series on Instagram. I’m invested in the BFD story and am working on finding my own confidence through your own experience. Looking forward to hearing the next update!
