Any success stories or words of caution?
Last year I reconnected with my DM and after a month and a half (no hooking up past kissing) he said he shouldn’t be dating anyone seriously and asked if we could just be friends while he was going through something. I took offense to it like he was friend zoning me while still being with other girls (I knew he had a dating app profile at least 2 weeks into us reconnecting but again we’d only been talking for a few weeks and only seen each other once at that point). I said no I don’t want to be your friend that’s not what’s best for me, and I think he was mad about it.
It’s been 9 months since then, and I just feel like it was a miscommunication and I want to resolve it. But I have it in my head that it’s against the “rules” for DF to reach out first.
