Hello girls! I've been having a rough time recently with this guy I'm dating, we started dating in November and i spent almost all my weekends with him, including 4 days on Valentine's Day, he told me he loves me maybe about a month ago but then all of a sudden on Valentine's Day he called me needy ( not the case ) and then obviously I got upset so then he told me there's no point for me to be mad but he just wants to take it slowly and not rush and he's not ready for a relationship, so to me, that was like taking 10 thousands steps back not just one, we don't talk anymore as I told him I'll give him space, but im not sure what to do im confused, I won't wait for him to change his mind, I had a really bad relationship before of a year, in which he never introduced me to his friends or social media and it ended on him cheating on me, so obviously I don't want someone to treat me the same way, I have patience and I'm laid back, and I don't compare the two of them but the fact that he said he's not ready for a relationship but told me he loves me really confused me 😩😩 what should i do girls?
