Deep down, I do know he isn’t devoted, however then he doesn’t declare to be.

He’s nonetheless solely 25 and says he isn’t prepared for dedication, however that when he’s, I’ll be ‘the one’. I don’t need to play video games, however I’m actually reluctant to present him up. My pals all assume I’m mad.

He won’t be prepared for a critical relationship for one more ten years, and also you deserve higher than to attend that lengthy. Perhaps being by his facet feels particular, nevertheless it’s all the time on his phrases. I do know you don’t need to give him as much as another woman, however simply really feel sorry for anybody else he will get concerned with.
