Hi everyone...I need some opinion from you on a relationship issue i am having
I currently like a guy named A (to make things simple) whom i Knew through a friend's boyfriend. A was supposed to get married
last yr, but unfortunately his fiance suddenly passed away. From my conversations with him, I could see that he loved his
fiance a lot. And he mentioned that after his fiance's passing, he fell into depression for half a year. Anyway, somehow, he
managed to get out of depression and got back to his normal life.
A and I went out together and constantly teased each other on our outings. Both of us felt very comfortable in each other's
company. There was one time that i felt very depressed and mentioned to him that i just felt like jumping onto the road and
ending my life. He immediately call my cell phone to talk to me and made me promise not to do anything stupid and that I have
to live on at least for another 50years. LOL.
When i went out late, he would check whether i was home safely. And there was one time, he drove down to the place to pick me up
to make sure that i went home cause i told him before i didn't want to go home too early as i had a disagreement with my
mum. Sometimes when i'm sad, he would hold my chin and look at me in the eyes and gave me words of encouragement.
So one day, I plucked up my courage and admitted to him that i like him. He told me he was sad and happy at the same time. Happy
because i liked him, sad because he cannot commit as he cannot forget his fiance as he loved her very deeply. He said he would
not be fair to the me and he didn't want to hurt me.
Jus recently, i fell into one of my mood swings again, he drove down @ 1plus am in the morning to look for me and talked to me
above life and all. I admitted i was very "hard up" for love from guys. He told me he didn't want me to hurt myself by entering
into a relationship with a guy who was only out for a free ride. He told me that i must learn to protect and cherish myself.
He said he would buy me a bear to hug before he went away overseas so that i won't feel so lonely. He admitted that he liked
me but he was sorry that we couldn't be an item because he really couldn't get over his fiance. He also said that he didn't
want to get into a relationship with me because if things didn't work out, the friendship would be lost and that he didn't want
to lose me and wanted me to be a part of his life. Jus before he went home, i gave him a kiss on his cheeks and he gave me
a kiss on my cheeks which i didn't expect. He later texted me on my cell phone that he was sorry about the kiss he give, he
said he felt like he was takin advantage of me.... but he also texted me that he cherished me....and when i asked him cherished
me as a friend? He said more than a friend.
So i am very confused now....what is his feelings towards me? Should i jus try to numb my feelings for him and jus be normal
friends with him since he cannot get over his fiance? I am going nuts thinking of him each day.

He seems to be a really sweet guy and i understand that he doesnt want a relationship, hes doesnt want to be selfish. I think he just needs alot more time to heal. He clearly likes you and from what i can see he cares for you more then just as a friend. I think give it time and if its going to happen it will. Dont rush in to it and keep being a friend with him and support him.

^^I agree. It's clear you two have a connection, and I think he needs you as much as you need him. I'm sure one day he will find the strength to move on past his fiance, but with such a tragic loss, it will likely take time. It may be hard to ignore your feelings of wanting more, but I think you have something really special with him, and you would both really miss out if you pressed him into something he's not ready for.

I have to commend him on being a man and speaking the truth; letting you know that he likes you and doesn't wnat to hurt you. That takes courage and it shows that he truly cares for you.

The best part is that the two of you are truly friends. The two of you have a beautiful foundation to build upon, but the timing is off. I've never lost a boyfriend/husband to death, but I can only image what's that's like. Something like that takes time to heal and move on from.

The good new is that he's on his way. I'd say stay friends, but don't get too hung up over him; meaning don't fall in love. It's one thing to like someone, but it's a totally different stoty to be in love with someone. What's meant to hapen will happen when the time is right.

Stay strong!

After reading this and all the replies, I'm sorry but it sounds like your boy A is a hot mess right now. I think it's possibly a little too early for him to be thinking about anything too serious. A year is a long enough time for me, but may not be for everyone. I can sympathize for his loss, but I don't think it gives him a good enough excuse for making you fall in love with him and then doing what he did. I'm not calling him a jerk, but it sounds like you got the right guy at the wrong time.

I don't want to sound cold, but no matter how much he broods over the departed ex, she's not coming back. A lot of men don't know how to love what they've got. If he can't see that logic, it's not right for you, at least not now. You aren't her and no one else is ever going to be her. If he's alright with never finding someone to spend the rest of his life with, he can carry that mentality, but you were the one he loved then and he may or may not find better when he is ready again. Oh well, his loss.

I'm not here to offer you advice on what to do, just my perspective. I don't think anyone else can convince you to take whatever action except yourself. You need to do what makes YOU happy. My opinion and what makes me happy in this situation might be different from yours or anyone else's, but this thread isn't about any of us. It's about you. Go get what you want. ^_^
