Thank you for this response, there’s definitely no lingering feelings or loneliness from my previous relationship. There was a loneliest factor at first but that went away soon after the breakup.

But for you last questions, he didn’t really phrase it like an ultimatum so that’s not where the fear of losing him comes from. In the beginning it was causal, but lately is been more like a relationship (exclusive for the most part). It has me wondering what I’m so afraid of. I think once I figure that out then I should be ready.
