What to do when your crush says he/she is not ready for a relationship

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

If she says, "I am not ready for a relationship," or, "The timing is not right," or I just got out of a serious thing," it doesn't mean she doesn't want to date someone, it means, she doesn't want to date you! So, don't try harder. That just makes you look desperate. Instead, completely back off and play hard to get.

    This is so true. People WILL MAKE TIME AND MOVE THE HEAVENS THEMSELVES if you are the right person. Schedules and not being ready are a poor excuse and that person doesn’t care enough to be honest with you.

    I have to disagree with this advice. It may be correct but not always. Sometimes not being ready for a relationship means that you are in fact interested in the person but you just want to get to know them a bit better before you agree to a relationship. When people have had previous relationships that didn't go so well in the past, it's only natural that they won't be quick to agree to a relationship and I'm speaking from personal experience. It's only fair to both parties that you both take the time to get to know each other before you agree to a relationship. And yes that usually includes sleeping with each other on a non-committed basis first.

    It's different for different people...some people know that when they love they love hard. Usually those kind of people end up being hurt the most. If you're tired of being hurt you're not going to jump into relationships after that. U could very well be interested and not ready. The guard is up and will stay up until they're ready... moral of the story is it doesn't always mean rejection. Sometimes it's for protection

They told me they like me a lot but can't start a relationship until they are happy with themselves. Should I bother trying to pursue this down the road or just let them go? We've only been talking about 3 weeks.

    This is a tricky situation. I agree with what Marie has to say for the most part. I have been on the losing end before and because I got so tired of chasing, I gave up on someone completely and started traveling and posting pics with all these girls on Facebook. What ended up happening is because I stopped pursuing her she had time to digest everything. She ended up practically begging me to get with her and I actually had to think about it before I said yes. Moral of the story, less is more. In the beginning of a relationship, try your best to not text or call someone too much. If there is a question that warrants a response then provide them with an answer and don't play games. However, try to lay back from meaningless conversation in between dates. We've all been there... we've all been on the chasing end. -Anonymous

    This is pretty good advice, and I had already started backing off from someone I thought things were progressing with. We've been seeing eachother for about 1 month, and I thought this had potential, but then she gave the "I'm not ready for a relationship" line, and it really bummed me out. So, I pretty much am letting her contact me, I went on a trip this weekend by myself and didn't invite her, and it's funny how now she's contacting me all the time and inviting me over her place. It's a strange situation to be in because I really like her and want something more, but I have to consciously stay backed off. I'm not sure how long I can keep this up honestly, haha. I sort of wear my heart on my sleeve, so it's tough being aloof around her.

    Hey Marie, I got a question for! Recently I've started going out with this girl, but we are not "official". However she once was in a non-official relationship a few months back before she met me and she did end up making out with someone else, but the guy she "made out with" was trying to force his tongue down her throat so she was really not suppose to kiss her. Would you consider that as cheating and would you trust her? The reason why I'm asking is because I don't want to be cheated on again (has happened twice in my life with two different girls), she says that she really likes me a lot and wants things to work between the two of us (not that I got mad at her when she told me this). Thanks for reading and hopefully you may be able to respond back again (video or text, doesn't matter).

I just think it's funny how things work out because things just happened and never thought it would go like it did but I'm so glad because he's such a great guy! Two years later and I still thank you for this video.

When she is around me I feel so happy, but soon she goes back to her place and I just get depressed. We are planning to move in with one another soon, I just feel sad cause I only get to see her ( with our work days so different) maybe twice a week. She knows this and seems fine...maybe I'm not strong enough or Maybe I'm too depended on her company? I don't know... Thanks in advance.

    Isaac, you are too dependent on her. You need to have your own life as well. I understand you want to be with her all the time, and that's great. But you should also develop your own interests apart from her. And don't live together! Wait until you are engaged. But don't propose yet either. You need to be single for a while and living on your own, and prove your own independence.

She also said she wanted to see a scary movie. Then today she told me that her parents don't know me and they don't feel comfortable with her going. I said to her that I could get know them. But she responded that she doesn't want to be in a relationship right now. I mean it's obvious she's interested in me but I know what it means when she said that.

I met a person and we are in a long distance "thing" - because I can't call it relationship (because she said we can't call it like this). I really care about the person, but i noticed that she doesn't care so much (I mean - the person is there, but not so much with cute-nice-lovers-messages or talks) - so I took some time off from messaging her and checking her facebook and all that. I am feeling like: "okay - if you are not interested in me and you don't want to have more than just a "thing" with me - well - I guess you don't like me that much, but you don't want to say it directly". Do you think I do the right thing with this?

    I went on 4 dates with this girl, she was in a relationship for 5 years which she got out of almost a year ago. We would text throughout the day and tell each other how much we liked each other. She had made me meet her family on our first date and ever since then she always told me how much her family loved me. I told her I had a dream asking her father for approval to date her, and she said you definitely have his approval. She was totally into me. One day about a week ago I called her because she didn't message me for a whole day. I asked if she was losing interest, and she said I had nothing to worry about, that she's just busy with school work and her job, and she asked me if I was available to go out on a date within a couple of days. The morning of the day we were supposed to go out, she called me and said that she really likes me but that she isn't ready for a relationship. Any advice?

This is the 13th day of not texting or communicating with her. I go for more details i ask a friend to add her on facebook. My friend tried to convince her to give me more chance but she keeps saying that "SHE TRIED but will not work cos she don't like me" I've been seenzone by her too before she blocked me (To be honest she only unfriended me but i dare her to block me if she don't want a communication between us then suddenly just a min or something she blocked me ) the thing is when my friend chatting with her she is replying but why not on me? Btw i consulted 2 girls (my sister and a friend) They said she just want a PAST TIME that why she agreed to make out with me. Should i consider what they said too? Your advice will be a great help!

She finds ways to be with me and whenever I talk to other girls she always appears and tries to be the center of attention. She purposely bumps in to me in a flirty way and she asks me personal questions like what my favourite films are. So she OBVIOUSLY likes me basically. I told her that I really liked her but she says she doesnt want to get into anything with ANYONE and that she doesnt want a relationship at this stage of her life. I am SO confused and need some advice. I aslo have been in love with this girl since the day I first met her which is what makes this VERY painful.

We would go out, she would bring me food, go out her way to come and visit me, we would talk everyday, and set future dates. Seemed like we were in a relationship and like she was interested in me. But I brought the conversation of what we are and she responded "I'm not looking for a relationship." Later she texted me saying she was sorry for leading me on we can be friends but I understand if you don't want to. I haven't replied. My question is should I reply or leave it as is? Thank you in advance.

    Alex Pulex as long as she is not seeing someone else, you are in a relationship. She just doesn't want to admit it. Afraid of getting hurt maybe. As long as things are going well, I wouldn't push it. Now, if a year from now, she still refuses to admit that you are her boyfriend, then rethink the relationship, but not now.

    I need some advice. I asked this girl out not too long ago. She said she wasn't ready for a relationship. We dated for a short time in 8th grade and we are both juniors in high school now. I broke up with her after a week because as a young kid I was shy and the relationship was just awkward. I've liked this girl a lot and have since 8th grade. I know now that she likes long relationships. I want her to know that was 3 years ago and that I can give her that long relationship but idk if I should tell her that because I'm afraid of annoying her. What should I do?

    Hi Marie...I dated this guy for couple of months. All of the sudden he told me 'he has issues, it's not me...it's you, I'm not ready for a relationship' and all that "excuses" you just talked about in your video. BUT he wants me to be his friend and don't want to lose me and "want me in his life for good". I accept, BUT (again) I found out he's having some kind of relationship (Whatsapp/texting--apparently lives in some other country) with someone he recently met (for two months now). I backed off and he has kept calling and texting me. Should I answer? should I keep talking to him and still be his friend?

    Hey Marie, this video helped me to see things clearly. I hate to say how heartbroken I was by her answer "I'm not ready for relationship", but some things are beyond control. So, I told my crush how I felt and she told me she wasn't ready because she hasn't gotten over her previous relationship and was afraid of being hurt the same way. She doesn't want to lose me as a friend either. However I was puzzled when she said I may still have a go to chase her in future but just not now because she isn't ready. I clarified with her if she would give me the chance to date her in future and assured her to give her some space at the moment. She said yes and wanted to see how things proceed. Do you have any more advise for me how to handle the situation please? I'd like to know if I still stand a chance. Thanks..

    Hey Marie so there's this guy and he is a good friend of mine and a couple of days ago I told him how I felt about him. At first he hugged me and told me that I'm sweet, and I thought that this was a good sign that he wants to date me, he even said that he was glad that I told him, but I was wrong. He told me that he is not ready for a relationship and he started mentioning his ex, who he was dating for 10 months (she dumped him). I asked him if he did eventually want a relationship that if me and him would get together, and he tried to change the subject. He even thanked me for understanding that he does not want a relationship right now. My friend who is also really close to the guy told me that he finds me attractive, but he even told her that he does not want a relationship. In this case does this mean that he really does not want a relationship right now, or that he is not interested?

    Hi coach My girlfriend broke up woth me over 2,5 months ago,she was insecure and lately we had lots of argument. But deep down we were in love. We been together for 3,5 years and shared same appartment for 3 years. And this is our worse break up. She told me she still loves me but not trust me anymore. So since then we been in concatc. She responds my texts we meet for coffe and drink sometimes but thats about it. She says she want to be friend for now and may be in the future something else. I been begging and pleading in the beggining but right now i am more capable to control my emotion. My longest NC was for 14 days. So my question whats your suggestion. Should i go to long no contact period? Or is it too late for that? Ps i told her i dont want to be her friend. I said we can start thing slowly from scratch Thank you for your help

It's hard for me to meet people, whether in person or through tinder etc, so im not sure how to proceed with this. a friend of mine says that i should just try to remain friends, ( as i dont have all that many female friends) but im at a bit of a loss

    Hey Marie, your opinions are truly wonderful and relatable. I've known this girl for about 6 months, we've been hanging out a lot, and I always felt she liked me, and we get along very well. I liked her from the beginning. She's a very shy, introverted girl and I always treated her with dignity. She and I both seemed to be the long-term types. So after about 12-15 'unofficial dates' I finally told her I like her, to which I got the 'not ready for anyone' answer, and left it open-ended by saying she'll let me know when she 'figures out herself'. She said she values me greatly, and feels comfortable opening up about herself, which is very difficult for someone like her. Do I have a chance at all?

We live far away, about 14 hours flight:( we met up while he was back for his hometown and spent lot of time together. He told me that he likes me and he will miss me a lot. Apparently after 5 months, I'm going to be at where he is right now due to my work but that still means I can't see him for 5 months. He promised he would text me everyday but even if he doesn't, I don't think I have the right to be mad because we're not exactly dating. This makes me very sad..Do you think he really likes me?

    Hello Marie I need your advice. I have a crush on this super shy conservative catholic girl at school. I asked her out to prom (without really knowing her) and she started blushing she replied 'can I consider this for a moment' she thought about it for a long time and said, 'I just want to go with my friends but thanks anyway'. This was six months ago. Now I noticed that when she sees me she avoids eye contact almost at all costs, but when I look away or pretend to read a book or pay attention to something else I know she's looking at me from the corner of my eye. This is really confusing me. Last week she went into the lunch room and walked in front of where I was eating, her face was tilted in another direction and she brushed her hair to her ears, and looked at me from the corner of her eye and walked away like nothing happened, It's really difficult to get to know her because she's really shy with boys, she only talks to her close friends who are all female. She's not part of the cool kids and she doesn't go on social media or go on her phone. I'm not sure whether she wants a relationship or even if she likes me. I don't know what to do. I've never had a girlfriend and she has never had a boyfriend. I have a feeling she doesn't want a relationship for now because she wants to get a good education and she seems really happy with her friends. Prom is coming again this year I don't know whether to try again or just leave it. I don't know how to approach her or even speak to her I feel really intimidated by her group of all females. Any advice?

    Hi Marie I got a question that I confessed to the girl I like twice, at the first time, she was like avoiding to give me a actual answer for that, after that we were like forgot about that and kept chatting as usual happily. After few months, I found that I can't stand for that kind of situation anymore so I asked for the second time, and her ans was "I don't know how to answer you. I'm just right in between yes and nah, neutral, but I'm not ready for now." I think when somebody after they rejected the person that confess to them, they would just ran away n not talk to them anymore, but she don't, we still texting day and night like usual. I really like her, what should I do? Can you give me some advises? TQ

I will be honest here because that really broke me. I'm doing what I can to stay strong and not call her, because she really has no tact regarding my feelins.
