Would you wait two months for a decision after mixed signals?
My (21F) longtime situationship/family friend (26M) recently asked for a couple of months to decide whether he sees me as “just family friends” or as a romantic partner. I’m struggling because this comes after years of mixed signals, ghosting, emotional closeness, denial of feelings, and recently finding out he was still emotionally involved with an ex. It always felt like there was never a clear ending. It was emotionally challenging because he was a family friend I had known for years.
Would you wait the 2 months for clarity, or would you step away now? A specific date has been set. How do you tell the difference between someone being genuinely conflicted vs someone keeping you emotionally attached because they’re unsure?
Used AI to help me summarize the conflict I’ve been facing!
TL;DR: Would you wait the 2 months for clarity on a situationship, or step away now?
