Why has he distanced himself after getting close?
I met a guy on the app and we hit it off instantly. He told me everything personal going on with him in his life. He told me about his father abandoning the family to work to current life events. He texted me throughout the day even tho he was busy and send me updates. It seemed like we knew eachother for a long time
He told a family member about me who could then inform his mother. He said this is how he had done it in the past with other potentials. He told them and they asked for a picture. I told him I would tell my parents before anything goes further. This was about 2 weeks in. They initially said no and I informed him of this. He said to leave it and not argue. I told him I'm not arguing but I would speak to them however I won't speak to them if he doesn't want it here. He encouraged me to speak to them and see what they say
After this he didn't text me first and I was always first to text. He did always respond and still seemed interested and I thought everything was fine. He has a few family events which took up his time and he didn't speak during this. When I messaged him he said he thought my parents said no which is why he didn't message. I told him I spoke the them and he said that's good.
Still, he is not texting me first and seems distant. He always brings up his mother himself and says he hasn't spoken to her yet. I thought this was a good sign as I'm not asking him but he's bringing it up himself
Recently I told him I regret telling my parents so soon and he said it would've been better to tell them later. I said to him I can just tell my parents it didn't work (bc I told him they keep asking about him) . He hearted this message and said "we'll see what happens" ??
I'm so confused. I feel like he just wasted my time and isn't ready for commitment. Before he could've stopped me from speaking to them now he's saying I should've told them later??
He opened to me emotionally and it seemed genuinely interested. I only told my parents to keep it halal. I don't understand why he's distanced himself. I don't understand I've tried to do everything right. There's ppl who are in haram relationships and they get what they want. I've tried to do everything right - I've even prayed istikhara
Why did he do this to me?
