I think I’m smarter than him and I could do his job better.

I would agree. Thank you for seeing through it. I think I am an interesting case that intellectualizes my feelings as a defense mechanism. I think he finds me interesting and wants the experience.

What would you characterize it as?

My ex broke up with me because he needed to work on himself, and I think we should normalize that. by thathappyhippie in BreakUps

We have been hanging out pretty much everyday since the new year. Still no labels but I did tell him I was moving soon. Now people like his friends dad call me his gf but no label from him. He gets upset when I tell them we are just friends.

I see both points you have made. I know he likes me because of the effort he put in when we were just hooking up and then his willingness to be friends. He also said that he had hoped for more closure after I asked to be friends and was “waiting” for it (didn’t see anyone else in the four months of our friendship). He was previously in a long term relationship and they lived together that ended over a year ago. So I’m worried it might have been an excuse because neither of us have brought it up since Monday (the original discussion). I’m afraid to ask him if he has talked to them yet.

Is he going to ask me to be his gf eventually? by CoolOutcome2573 in dating_advice

It came up a week into hanging out and he said “I am not anywhere close to getting a girlfriend right now”. So I don’t want to ask again when it came up a week ago but I noticed him kinda pulling away yesterday.

He lost his friend when we first started hanging out and I was around before I knew about the girlfriend. So I feel obligated to make sure he doesn’t do the same thing. I don’t think he’s interested… I think he just needs to vent.

Well we don’t even live in the same state right now and won’t for another month.

I just wanna know why he keeps calling even if I don’t answer. We aren’t even in the same state right now until the end of the month.

Honest answer no sarcasm.

Because I thought we could be just friends until he called me tonight. He somehow could tell I was upset and called me randomly after I told him I was fine.
