The guy that I was "talking" told me that his feelings changed because of certain things that I did...he still wanted to talk but he wants to "talk less and chill casually(1-2 times a week)". And I asked him "Then what?" and then "See if we can work our way back up to talking." but we have been talking with no commitment and no real certainty of commitment for nearly five months. I can't believe he had the nerve to say that. I told him that it wasn't fair to be selfish to my needs of asking for security. We could choose to start over, and we both bring things to the table. When he left, he reached over and kissed me and agreed. The next he says, "Well lets just start over with no expectations. Let's just let it be what it is." I told him I was letting it go, but I can't help but feel awful like all of this is my fault.

See a therapist to work on your self-esteem issue.

Well, you did say you were going to "cut him off" for something he did, right?

Is this the same guy??

I recommend NOT dating for a while and taking time to grow up.

That was two months ago. We haven't had that issue since. And yes, this is the same guy.

At your age there is far more to life than worrying about some guy. Do you have a career, travelled?

Really? Blaming yourself and feeling awful for wanting something that's normal in any relationship?
Don't you think you deserve better?

No problems since, yet now he just wants to "chill casually." Grown women don't cut a guy off as revenge anyway. You guys sound like you're bartering, not dating. I just don't like the "stages" you two discussed in your OP. It sounds like total BS.

"Work your way back up to talking??"

Tell the guy to take a hike. People who are really into you don't want to "talk less."

I agree. Sounds like he wants a part time woman who does not talk too much. He sounds like an idiot. Who says "work are way back up to talking"?

I agree, he sounds like a pinhead.

He's also sort of stringing her along, albeit 5 months doesn't necessarily deserves some kind of commitment, IDK, there might be more to the story, but to be honest, the OP sounds like a bit of a PITA.

It sounds like the OP needs to cut this fish loose and find a dude that wants more of a "commitment" after a couple of months.
