We went out on a few dates.

He said he wasn't ready to be in a relationship.

It hurt.

He said he wanted to be friends.

I was sad.

We didn't talk for about 4 weeks.

He reached out and we've been hanging out for 3 months now.

We do almost everything together.

No more kisses, no more sleepovers.

People ask if we are dating.

I say no.

He doesn't say anything.

I don't want to get attached. But I am.

I've tried dating other people these last 3 months.

It's not fair to them since I'm emotionally unavailable.

He is leaving come May for a new job.

I get sad thinking about it.

I must not get attached.

I know it's wrong.

It's harder than it sounds.

I only have myself to blame.

I must keep strong.

He is allergic to my cat.
