“I love you and i want to be with you, but i need time to work on myself so let’s be friends and take things slow”

A boy I’m into told me this. A boy I’ve known for almost 10 years. He told me this 3 weeks ago while we were cuddling in my bed. The following weekend we met up and had some drinks, ended up back at my place and i told him i loved him. We cuddled, nothing more because he “wants our first time to be special, and sober” he wants to wait. He told me he didn’t want a relationship, he needs to work on himself before he brings me into his life in a romantic way. I respected that. But i guess i read too much into the whole “i love you and want to be with you, let’s be friends and take things slow” cause i guess what he really meant was “we’re homies. I want a friend, not a relationship”.

I feel like an absolute idiot. I had asked him if he ONLY wanted to be friends so i wouldn’t get myself confused. He told me he wanted to hang out and see what happens, slowly. He likes me, he’s not going anywhere, he doesn’t want to go anywhere, but he wants to take things slow. I guess taking things slow means we are only platonic friends.

I fucking feel stupid. I read into everything too much. I feel like I’m being dramatic but my my heart hurts a little bit. I’ve never cried over a boy, the only guy I’ve ever cried over was my ex husband. And here i am wanting to cry because this boy I’ve been into for the last 10 years, who’s admitted to loving me, only wants to be my friend.

Fuck love y’all lmao.
