Men are many times little boys afraid to admit, much less commit

Quote From: hayes_83

i have been with this guy(that i am totally in love with) for over 2 years now. i have sacrificed a lot of things to be with him. hes a wonderful guy, trustworthy, loyal, just a good hearted man. now hes telling me that somethings missing and that its not working out. yet he tell me he loves me, i am his "bestfriend", and that he doesn't want to lose me. we live in oregon right now. if i end up leaving i have to go back to tennessee(my home town). i asked him how he felt about us never being together again. he told me something , that i interpreted as, he still wants to end up together. should i try to fix or change anything or should i move on? my heart is telling me that i want to fix it. i am just so confused. i feel as if he was playing mind games with me. i know this is a silly question, but i am just so confused.
Men are many times little boys afraid to admit, much less commit! I will tell you my experience in life, when it comes to men telling a woman it is not working out, or something is missing. Probably 90% of the time the thing that is missing is his loyalty. I know you say he is a boyscout, but the lines that follow afterword's, yes I love you, you're my best friend, are things men sometimes say to help ease what they are really saying, and making themselves feel better, rather than admitting they are looking elsewhere. I am sure you are confused, and the main reason you are confused, in my humble opinion, is because everything he says doesn't add up, and with good reason. Loving someone and being hurt by them because they are not mature enough to be honest, is not being silly. I hope this helps. Good luck, and keep us posted

I've been dating a guy for six months. When we first started dating we hit it off so well it was uncanny. We are so much alike in so many important areas, there is a spiritual, intellectual and physical connection. However ater a few months when we were on a trip together and he introduced me to his friends as "a friend" I started to wonder what was going and started to question him. Each time I was assured that he felt something or we wouldn't be dating it was just his work and other factors that prevented us from spending more time together. I knew that if he really felt as I do that nothing would prevent him from showing his feelings yet I kept trying. Now at the six month mark he is finally telling me what I have known for some time, Iam "everything he's always THOUGHT he wanted in a woman but he's not FEELING it". HE too says he doesn't want to lose our friendsship and that he is closer to me than he has been to anyone other than his ex-wife but he just doesn't see the realtionship advancing any further because that "spark" is missing for him. It hurts right now and there are those mixed singles that make it even more difficult but I know that if he doesn't say "I love you" that he doesn't love me like I do him. Not only is he not ready to commit he's not ready to commit with ME that is something I have to face. I can't try to understand him because it will never make sense what I can do is feel the feelings and learn my lesson.
