Re: How to Tell Someone You Aren't Ready for A Serious Relationship shockedandamazed: You know - what is this timing thing all about anyway? I met someone a few weeks ago and he really made an impression on me - but he had just filed for divorce about a month prior, my divorce has only been final for almost two months now...
Now- I can tell he has withdrawn....I never expected to meet someone so great in such a short amount of time - but he did throw a wrench in my plans of just dating around for a year and it being all about me....
It kinda sucks because there was an emotional connection, but since he has removed himself from the situation, maybe it will be easier to keep focusing on myself...
If you really feel as though you can let her go, let her go...wasn't meant to be right now.
How to Tell Someone You Aren't Ready for A Serious Relationship timer: I met this woman who has a lot of the qualities I'm looking for: spiritually centered, very attractive, athletic, has a successful career. I definitely would like to pursue a long term relationship with her. She's interested in me because she's invited me to her house for dinner, she wants me to make plans with her over the weekend.
The problem is one of timing. Her cheating husband left only 3 months ago and she just had a baby. Her wounds are still very fresh and I want to give her time to heal. In addition, I am just starting to date again after being seperated for a year. I feel I really need to learn how to date a variety of people before becoming involved in a serious relationship. I'd rather lose her to someone else than hurt her. I plan on telling her what I've conveyed here but I'm looking for some input from others who may have faced this situation.
Re: How to Tell Someone You Aren't Ready for A Serious Relationship snkpack5: Well you can go the route I did and just pick fights over stupid stuff to sabotage the relationship . . . .
Just be honest with her.
Re: How to Tell Someone You Aren't Ready for A Serious Relationship belle0626: Just do it before she falls in love with you and thinks you have a future together. My ex waited until I had a key to his house, had become close with his 2 year old son, met his entire family (and mine), etc.....and that's when he said a year later he wasn't sure what he wanted. If you don't know, you don't know.....tell her now.
