There’s this guy I have a strong connection with whenever we meet in person, the chemistry is very real. He’s warm, attentive, makes an effort, and there’s definitely a pull. But outside of that, he can be pretty inconsistent and often says he’s busy. And the girl who introduced us to each other has been meddling too much.
She's always telling me that he's a player and that he isn't emotionally unavailable. I told him everything thinking it would solve everything but they are still friends and she continues to be besties with him. Basically, all my worst fears coming true.
More recently, he’s been very open about his physical attraction and said he’d like to explore that side first, with a “let’s see where it goes after” kind of mindset. Not that he has initiated anything. I do feel the attraction too, but I’m also trying to stay mindful because I know I can get emotionally invested once there’s a connection.
What do I do? How and why am I creating this?
