Walking away sucks.

So I’ve been dating this guy for almost a year. I gave him a deadline for us to take the next step (we don’t have a label) well that day came and went and nothing changed. Months ago when I would talk about us ending things he would react and you could tell he didn’t want that. He’s younger than me and a little immature but his reasons are that he’s not ready for a relationship. Even though we’re pretty much in one. (Were not talking to anyone else and we have rules) Well my birthday is in a few weeks and I haven’t ended it cuz I don’t want to spend my bday alone.

In my head I know we’re not right for each other now. Maybe in time but not right now, we have so much in common yet we’re so different from each other. Why is it that even when you know it isn’t right is it so hard to walk away. It’s not like there’s drama between us and we’re not gonna have a blow out breakup. We’re just not right for each other and I know that. But still walking away is harder than I thought. I get to the point where I’m like okay we’re fading out then we have a great weekend together and start all over again. Plus it doesn’t help that he works with me so I’ll have to be in the same building as him, I can avoid him but still we’re in the same building. He’s told me before that I’m more than a lay and I believe him but I know he’s not ready and that’s not what I want at this point in my life. I know I just have to rip off the band aid but I don’t want too.
