Yes that stood out for me too Cil. So, he doesn't want the final link to be severed? But he did want a D? He doesn't sound very happy and he sounds somewhat confused about your relationship. What does all that mean?

Well, I guess he meant that in the moment he said it. Does he feel that way all the time, or most, or some, or just in that moment? I guess the choices for you are - do nothing and live your life. He's a grown up and if he wants to talk more about that, I guess he'll do so. Or you could ask him. I'm not recommending that - just musing really. But I'd ask the same question as Roist - might this be something you would be receptive to potentially?

Glad to read you are enjoying the dating. I would just relax and enjoy some male company for now. There's no particular need to move anything along other than at a pace that works for you.

Have a lovely weekend Cil xxx
