Better luck next time. 🙂
I don’t understand the question? This is so broad it’s nearly unanswerable without writing a book.
This is too vague a question to answer. It depends entirely on the maturity and circumstances of the man. Me personally, as a man in my mid 30s, if I knew the timing was wrong for a serious relationship, I would keep them as a contact in case things changed in the future, but I would avoid fanning the flame of romance i.e. keep them out of my day to day life, but keep them as a contact on social media etc.
Kind of a sad feeling, like I’m missing out on a vacation all my friends are taking but I couldn’t get off work or something like that.
It’s not really any worse because it’s not like I have fallen head over heels already; I’ve just sensed a connection and I know it’ll be one I’ll have to miss.
Like met as in been dating a while? Or just recently met someone?
Real talk? It’s like meeting someone who makes you feel seen for the first time, pero sabay mo rin marerealize na hindi ka buo. Parang gusto mo siya piliin, pero alam mong hindi ka pa version ng sarili mo na kaya siyang alagaan nang tama.
So ang utak mo, sabog. Part of me wants to lock it in, commit, fight for it. Pero may part din na natatakot — baka masaktan ko siya, baka ako yung humila pababa, baka hindi ko maibigay yung deserve niya. Kaya minsan, ang defense mechanism? Distance. Sabihin ko na lang na “wrong timing” kahit deep down gusto ko lang sana maging enough.
It’s not about not wanting her. It’s about not knowing if I can keep her without breaking both of us in the process.
If by “The timing isn’t right” you mean they either are taken or not looking for a relationship, I say “Aw shucks” and leave them alone.
