The reality is that what you discovered on the computer POF activity, Facebook activity, messages to other women is unlikely to be a hacking issue. While I get that it’s tempting to give him the benefit of the doubt, the pattern, history, and coinciding saved images all strongly suggest that he engaged in online relationships. This isn’t about catching him in a technical lie; it’s about observing behaviors that indicate a real breach of your marital trust. The key here is not just the evidence itself but how it makes you feel. If you’re constantly questioning whether he’s telling the truth, your instincts are signaling that something is off, and it’s worth taking seriously.

Your trust issues are understandable. You’ve seen him deny actions that have concrete evidence and make explanations that feel inconsistent like claiming he hasn’t used Facebook since 2014, yet showing activity in November and other recent dates. The problem isn’t that he’s denying everything it’s that his denials prevent you from moving forward. Trust is a two-way street, and right now, the foundation of your marriage has cracks that need honest work from both of you. Even if he’s crying and swearing he loves you, you cannot build security in the relationship if the behavior that broke your trust isn’t acknowledged fully.

The root of the issue seems deeper than just the internet activity. April Masini emphasized this as well: cheating doesn’t happen in isolation. Your marriage clearly has ongoing conflicts, frustrations, and unmet needs on both sides, which were exacerbated before and during this incident. You’re frustrated with him not keeping promises, not prioritizing you, and not fully communicating all of which contribute to why he might have sought attention elsewhere online. If you want to repair this marriage, the work has to include honest communication about these underlying issues, not just trying to “prove” whether he cheated online.

Your feelings of being unrecognized, undervalued, or not “special” are completely valid. Infidelity even online can feel like a personal rejection, a reminder that you weren’t enough to meet someone’s emotional or psychological needs. But it’s important to distinguish between his choices and your self-worth. You being “the one” or having a unique bond doesn’t guarantee fidelity. Relationships are dynamic; two people may care deeply about each other but still make destructive decisions when needs aren’t met or when communication breaks down. Understanding this can help you process the hurt without internalizing blame or defining your value based on his actions.

Moving forward requires a balance of self-reflection and boundary-setting. Masini’s advice highlights a crucial point: focus on what you can do differently to strengthen your part of the relationship. That doesn’t mean excusing his behavior it means making the marriage functional and fulfilling within your control. Identify concrete ways to improve communication, intimacy, and mutual understanding. At the same time, set clear boundaries about honesty, accountability, and financial transparency. Your trust can only rebuild if he shows consistent, verifiable changes, not just promises.

The question of whether you can have a successful, long-term marriage after this is complex but not impossible. Trust will take time to repair, and emotional wounds need patience and effort on both sides. Healing starts with acknowledging the truth of what happened, understanding why it happened, and committing to practical steps to address the underlying marital issues. If he refuses full transparency or you find yourself constantly doubting him, the cycle of hurt will continue. Your focus should be on creating a foundation where honesty, communication, and respect are non-negotiable and only then can you assess whether this marriage can be fully restored and thrive.

It’s completely normal to feel devastated and conflicted when someone you’ve loved and believed was “the one” gets engaged to someone else. Your brain and heart are reacting to a loss not just of her, but of a future you imagined with her. Feeling hurt, jealous, and obsessive over her social media or appearances is a natural part of processing that grief. Acknowledge that pain without beating yourself up for it.

It’s crucial to understand the context of your relationship. You dated for only two months and then had an on-and-off connection. That means there were factors that prevented this relationship from developing fully, and no matter how strong your feelings are, it wasn’t ready to become a lifelong commitment. The idea of her being “the one” is partially your attachment to the imagined future you created with her, not the reality of your relationship.

Regret is the real emotional challenge here. It’s not just that she’s with someone else it’s that you feel you missed your chance. Regret can be crippling if you let it dominate your thoughts, but it can also be useful. Look at this experience as a teacher: what kept you from fully committing or acting on your feelings back then? Recognizing that can help you avoid similar mistakes in future relationships.

Your attachment to her is amplified by comparison. You mention noticing other women and being drawn to them only if they remind you of her. This is a common coping mechanism when the brain tries to recreate the same emotional chemistry, but it prevents you from appreciating other people on their own merit. Start noticing what makes other women and potential partners unique rather than seeing them as “her replacement.”

It’s time to shift focus onto yourself. Channel your energy into areas that make you feel fulfilled hobbies, friendships, career, physical fitness, and social engagement. The stronger and more confident you feel as an individual, the less power this past love will have over your emotions. This doesn’t mean forgetting her immediately, but it does mean creating a life where her presence isn’t central to your happiness.

Accept that you cannot change the past, and she is now engaged to someone else. The healthiest path forward is emotional closure: process your grief, acknowledge your regret, and allow yourself to feel it fully without acting on it. With time, the intensity will fade, and you’ll be able to open yourself up to love again possibly someone who is available, ready for commitment, and can reciprocate fully. Remember: this heartbreak, as painful as it is, is preparing you to recognize and nurture a relationship that’s truly meant for you.

[Ethan Morales]

It’s clear you really like this guy and feel a connection, but he has been upfront that he isn’t ready for a serious relationship. That’s an important detail to honor. His behavior texting daily, seeing you once a week, sharing clothes, and showing some possessiveness doesn’t automatically equal commitment. People can show care and interest without being emotionally available or ready for a relationship. It’s important to separate affection and attention from long-term intentions.

Your desire for a label and for clarity is completely valid. Wanting to call someone your boyfriend and have a defined relationship is not “wrong” or unreasonable, even at six months. But it’s also normal that he’s still cautious because he’s coming out of a long-term relationship and has his own emotional baggage. The issue isn’t that you’re being insecure; it’s that your needs and expectations for the relationship are not aligned with his current readiness.

The fact that he reminds you of other women hitting on him is a red flag. This behavior isn’t a test of your feelings; it can unintentionally undermine your sense of security and create anxiety. Even if he isn’t consciously trying to make you insecure, sharing this repeatedly can destabilize trust. Relationships thrive on mutual reassurance, and if he isn’t meeting you there, it’s okay to acknowledge that his actions are affecting your emotional well-being.

It’s too early to dive into “the talk” about serious commitment or to question him about his ex. At this stage, it’s better to observe patterns over time and notice how he behaves in real-life contexts, not just hypotheticals. Trying to push him into a label when he isn’t ready will likely create tension or cause him to pull away. Instead, focus on what the relationship looks like practically: is it fulfilling? Do you feel respected, safe, and appreciated? That’s more important than the label for now.

You need to consider your own boundaries and deal-breakers. If being in an undefined, casual relationship is making you anxious or stressed, it may be healthier to step back. There’s nothing wrong with wanting more; it doesn’t mean you’re insecure or overthinking it means you understand your emotional needs. At the same time, dating someone who isn’t ready for the same level of commitment can only go so far without causing hurt.

My overall advice is to slow down and observe. Enjoy the connection without overanalyzing it or trying to force a commitment. Give him space to come around if he chooses, but also give yourself permission to step back if this situation continues to make you anxious. Remember, relationships at your age should be about exploration, understanding your needs, and mutual alignment, not rushing into titles or expectations. Focus on the quality of your time together, your emotional safety, and your personal boundaries first.

[Ethan Morales]

I want to acknowledge how intense and confusing this all is for both of you. You’re dealing with a combination of cultural, religious, geographical, and emotional barriers, and that naturally complicates things. At the core, your feelings are real you both clearly care deeply for each other but the logistics and expectations around commitment are creating stress that neither of you is fully equipped to handle right now. It’s understandable that you’re both feeling insecure and stuck.

The religious and family pressures on you (the girlfriend) are enormous. Choosing to date or marry outside of a deeply orthodox tradition comes with real consequences, including potential loss of family and community. Feeling guilty or selfish is normal, but leaving your family or upsetting them is not inherently selfish it’s a personal life choice. What matters is understanding your own priorities and limits, and being honest with yourself about what you’re willing to risk for your own happiness. It’s not about right or wrong, but about clarity for your own life.

The online-only aspect of your relationship adds another layer of uncertainty. You cannot fully know someone solely through virtual communication, and it’s perfectly reasonable to want an in-person meeting before making life-altering decisions like marriage. At the same time, the boyfriend’s insistence on a firm commitment before visiting is concerning it’s an unreasonable demand to commit to a marriage without even meeting first. Healthy relationships, especially across distance, require flexibility, trust, and realistic expectations, not preemptive promises of lifelong commitment.

Your loneliness and lack of experience (girlfriend) is clearly amplifying your anxiety. It’s normal to feel attached to someone who provides emotional support, especially when you haven’t dated before. But relying on one person to fill all emotional needs is risky. The reality is that your relationship may be more about emotional comfort than long-term compatibility. You need to work on developing your own life, friendships, and activities so that your choices are grounded in clarity rather than fear of losing support or love.

I’d echo April Masini’s advice: slow down and prioritize real-life interactions. You have not met in person, and it’s impossible to make a fully informed decision about marriage or life together without that experience. The “maybe marriage” demand is unrealistic and unhealthy. The best course is to let him visit without preconditions, evaluate how you interact in real life, and then make decisions about the future based on that experience. No rush, no pressure clarity comes with shared experiences, not letters or online conversations.

In terms of next steps: focus on clarity and personal growth first. Make a decision about whether dating outside your religion is something you are willing to explore before moving forward. Establish boundaries around online communication and emotional reliance so that you can approach each other from a place of reality, not neediness. And remember: nothing is “too late” at your age it’s better to take your time, meet in person, and make informed choices than to rush into lifelong decisions from a purely virtual connection. Patience and self-awareness now will prevent heartbreak later.

It’s important to separate your feelings from the behavior itself. You mention that part of you enjoys being overpowered, which is completely valid and normal in a consensual adult context. However, the situation as it’s described prolonged restraint in public, humiliation, and involvement of bystanders goes far beyond casual horseplay. Even if you derive some arousal from it, the public, coercive nature makes it a gray area at best and potentially abusive at worst.

The involvement of her friends adds another layer of concern. They are clearly observing, laughing, and even threatening to do the same thing to you. This indicates that your interaction isn’t private or consensual in the way it should be for a safe, controlled dynamic. Public humiliation, peer involvement, and extended restraint shift the situation from a private kink or playful teasing into something that could damage your emotional well-being and social reputation.

You need to consider boundaries and consent seriously. Enjoying something doesn’t automatically make it safe or healthy especially when it involves coercion, public exposure, or people you haven’t explicitly agreed to it with. By continuing to participate, you are signaling permission to others, which could escalate in ways you don’t want. Consent must be clear, ongoing, and respected, and in this case, it seems blurry because of the social context and the pressure from her friends.

My advice is to disengage and establish firm boundaries. You can explore dynamics like this safely in private with people you trust, with clear consent, and agreed-upon limits. But the public, prolonged, and coercive nature of what’s happening here is not healthy, even if part of you enjoys it. Protecting your safety, dignity, and emotional health is far more important than keeping a dynamic that is fun in the moment but risky long-term.

[Ethan Morales]

It’s clear you genuinely care about your friend and her daughter, and your intentions are rooted in affection, protection, and commitment. The bond you’ve formed with both of them is strong and meaningful, which explains why you feel so invested. However, the situation is extremely complex because it’s not just a typical friendship or dating scenario it involves her past traumas, ongoing custody issues, and the responsibilities of co-parenting. All of these layers affect how she approaches any romantic possibilities and why she’s cautious about moving forward with you.

Her behavior asking you to spend time with her daughter, consider moving with her, and go on vacations together shows that she trusts and values you immensely. That said, it doesn’t automatically mean she’s ready for a romantic relationship. She may genuinely appreciate your support and presence, yet still feel emotionally unavailable or hesitant due to past betrayals and her current life pressures. Her “maybe when this is all over” stance is likely a protective mechanism; she wants security for herself and her daughter before opening herself up fully to someone new.

Your concern about the “friend zone” is understandable but perhaps misplaced here. What you’re experiencing is not a simple case of being a platonic friend; you’ve already crossed a boundary in intimacy by being deeply involved in her life and her daughter’s life. The ambiguity hot and cold behavior, frequent calls, jealousy over other potential partners suggests that she’s trying to balance trust, caution, and attachment. It’s not necessarily a reflection of your worth or attractiveness; it’s her way of managing risk and protecting herself and her child.

Tthe hot-and-cold dynamic is emotionally taxing, and your instinct to make yourself less available is wise. This isn’t about pulling back to make her jealous or testing her loyalty; it’s about creating healthy boundaries for your own emotional stability. By setting limits, you avoid overinvesting in a relationship that may not be ready to progress, and you allow her space to sort through her feelings and responsibilities without added pressure.

It’s important to focus on the long-term view. You’re both in transitional phases you recently divorced, she’s navigating custody and recovery from past relationships. The best approach is patience and consistent support without overstepping boundaries. This means being present in her life and her daughter’s life in ways she’s comfortable with, while also maintaining your independence and emotional health. That balance helps her see you as a reliable, trustworthy partner rather than someone who adds stress.

The uncertainty you feel is natural given the circumstances. There are indeed women who genuinely need time to heal and who want to keep someone close while remaining cautious about commitment your friend seems to fall into this category. The key is managing your expectations, staying grounded, and being honest with yourself about what you can handle emotionally. If she’s meant to be a long-term partner, the timing will align once her life stabilizes and she feels safe to commit. Until then, your role is one of patient support, emotional honesty with yourself, and protecting both your heart and hers.

Your guilt is understandable. you’ve carried a heavy secret that conflicts with your values, and it’s resurfacing now because your life has reached a point where the stakes are high: a stable home, a committed partner, and a child. That darkness you describe is natural for someone who values honesty but is balancing it against the potential harm disclosure might cause. The key here is perspective: this is no longer just about you. Your decisions ripple outward, affecting your partner and, most importantly, your daughter.

April’s point about “starting over” is crucial. Relationships don’t reset; they evolve over time. If you were to reveal past infidelities now, it wouldn’t erase what you’ve built together it would change the foundation, potentially destabilizing everything. The love, laughter, friendship, and co-parenting you have are real and ongoing. The question isn’t whether you should come clean for yourself; it’s whether doing so improves the life of your family or risks unnecessary harm.

Real love involves sacrifice. Sometimes it means bearing emotional weight quietly, especially when revealing the truth could cause trauma to someone you love. In this case, relieving your guilt by telling him would likely hurt him more than it would heal you. Your daughter’s well-being should also be a guiding factor. A family split or tension created by disclosure could leave lasting emotional consequences for her, and that’s not something you can easily undo.

There are ways to cope with guilt that don’t involve revealing the secret. You can channel your energy into being the best partner and parent possible. This could mean consciously nurturing the relationship, demonstrating love, and creating memories that strengthen the family unit. Acting on remorse through positive behavior commitment, attentiveness, thoughtfulness can be a form of reparative action that’s invisible but powerful.

It’s also important to examine why the guilt is resurfacing now. Is it fear of impending milestones, such as marriage, that’s triggering it? Is it your desire for absolute honesty and transparency? Understanding the underlying motivation can help you find healthier ways to process the guilt without hurting those you care about. Therapy, journaling, or guided reflection can help you confront these feelings safely, privately, and constructively.

Your actions should prioritize the people who depend on you most: your partner and child. Guilt is heavy, but it doesn’t have to dictate destructive choices. There’s a difference between feeling bad and acting in ways that risk significant harm. By focusing on nurturing your family and making amends through your commitment and care, you can honor your values, preserve the stability of your household, and protect your daughter all while working through your guilt internally.

What you’re experiencing is completely understandable. Seventeen years of marriage, compounded by betrayal and unsafe behavior, creates deep emotional trauma. Your emotional “hollowing out” isn’t unusual.. it’s your mind’s way of protecting you from further hurt. Pushing yourself prematurely into dating can backfire; you may go through the motions physically, but emotionally you won’t be ready to connect authentically. Healing and re-engaging emotionally need to happen first, at your own pace.

The legal and practical aspect matters a lot. If you’re still technically married, even if separated, dating can complicate your divorce, child custody, and any legal agreements. It’s not just about optics unresolved legal status can bring unnecessary stress, conflict, and emotional setbacks. Making sure your divorce is finalized or at least firmly in motion will give you clarity, closure, and the freedom to start dating without legal or moral ambiguity hanging over you.

When you’re ready, dating after a long, difficult relationship is best approached slowly. You don’t need to rush into a serious commitment. Casual dating, exploring connections, and enjoying social interactions can help you reconnect with your emotions, test your boundaries, and rebuild confidence. It’s not about “forcing” yourself into the dating scene, but rather gently reintroducing yourself to experiences that help you feel alive, engaged, and capable of intimacy again.

Your focus should be on your own healing and emotional readiness before seeking a serious relationship. Self-compassion and patience are critical here. Once you’re emotionally whole and legally clear, you can approach dating with curiosity and openness rather than pressure. When the time is right, you’ll naturally know when you’re ready to commit again and you’ll be far less likely to carry the shadow of past betrayals into a new relationship.

[Ethan Morales]

It’s important to separate genuine banter from bullying. Banter is light-hearted, mutual, and stops when someone clearly expresses discomfort. What you’re describing repeated digs about your experience with women, being called names like “dull” or “virgin boy,” and feeling devalued crosses the line from playful teasing to bullying. Banter shouldn’t leave you feeling angry, anxious, or humiliated, and if it consistently does, that’s a red flag. True friends won’t push your buttons repeatedly after you’ve expressed discomfort.

Your reaction isn’t about being overly sensitive. it’s about your self-respect. You’ve been clear with some of them that certain topics upset you, yet they continue to push them, especially in group settings where peer pressure amplifies negativity. Their behavior seems more about showing dominance or creating laughs at your expense than genuine friendship. A supportive friend would back you up or at least respect your boundaries; their silence or participation in the digs says a lot about the group dynamics.

You’re right to notice a pattern: when it’s one-on-one, things are normal, even positive, but in a group, it turns toxic. That shows it’s not about you personally in isolation. it’s about the social dynamics of the group and who’s trying to assert control or humor at your expense. This is a signal to reassess your involvement. You can’t control them, but you can control your exposure and boundaries. Setting limits even removing yourself from situations where you feel devalued is healthy and necessary.

Your plan to give one more chance with clear hints is sensible, but be prepared to follow through. Don’t just hint be firm about your boundaries. Make it clear that persistent digs or humiliation will mean you disengage. True friends will respect you, not the other way around. This isn’t about “toughening up,” it’s about recognizing that self-respect is non-negotiable, and your time and energy are valuable. People who can’t honor that aren’t worth constant emotional strain.

[Ethan Morales]

Your story is very detailed and I get why you’re emotionally invested. she’s been giving signals, showing attention, and you’ve shared some fun, light moments together. It’s natural to feel drawn to someone who seems to reciprocate interest. But the key here is context: she just ended a three-year relationship, and emotions are raw, complicated, and unpredictable.

It’s also clear that you’ve been operating in what’s basically the “friend zone” for a while. All the bar hangouts, playful banter, and physical touches can feel like flirtation, but until she knows you want a proper date with clear romantic intent. she may just see it as friendship or harmless fun. Mixed signals in these settings are common; context matters more than intention.

Your long, heartfelt message while sincere actually works against you here. It’s emotionally heavy, and while you didn’t intend it to be needy, it puts a lot of pressure on her to respond. When someone is freshly single, especially after a long-term relationship, that can be overwhelming. It’s also worth noting that you’re projecting your own expectations of a soulmate onto someone you’ve only known in casual, playful contexts.

April’s main point is solid: if you want a relationship, you have to make it clear and intentional. Instead of layering on multiple messages, emotional essays, and mixed intentions, focus on asking her out on a proper date somewhere separate from the bar or routine interactions. This shows you’re serious and lets her decide clearly whether she’s interested.

At this stage, since you’ve already sent the long message, the best move is to give her space. Don’t chase, don’t double text, don’t try to explain or justify your feelings further. She’s not obligated to respond or engage just because you articulated your emotions. Your dignity, self-respect, and calm patience matter more than a potentially reactive response from her.

Finally, check in with yourself: are you chasing a genuine connection with her, or the idea of her? The line between the two is subtle but critical. Accepting potential rejection and moving forward even if you still like her keeps you grounded and emotionally available for someone who can reciprocate fully. Focus on clarity, intention, and self-respect in future dating interactions.

Look, the signs are clear, he’s not that into you in the way you want him to be. Chemistry and sex alone don’t equal investment in a relationship. If he’s stopped taking you out, ignoring calls for days, and only reaches out when it’s convenient, that’s his actions speaking louder than any words or compliments.

The hard truth is this: you can’t change his interest or force him to commit. The only control you have is over your own choices. Stop hoping he’ll be different and start prioritizing your own self-respect. Walk away or set firm boundaries you’ll find peace, and eventually someone who actually values you in the way you deserve.

[Ethan Morales]

Breakups like this are confusing and painful, especially when you both clearly have feelings for each other. What’s important to understand is that love doesn’t automatically equal willingness to be in a relationship. She can care about you deeply and still decide she doesn’t want to be with you and that’s her choice, not a reflection of your worth.

The pattern here is telling. You’ve been together twice, and both times it ended. That doesn’t mean you’re a failure; it just shows that, for whatever reason, compatibility or timing hasn’t aligned in a way that allows the relationship to stick. When someone says they need time to figure themselves out, it often means they’re looking inward and may not be ready for a partnership, no matter how strong your connection is.

Your instinct to stay in contact and hope for reconciliation is natural, but it risks prolonging your pain. The healthiest step is to take a step back, focus on yourself, and give her and yourself space. This doesn’t mean you have to completely cut off communication forever, but create boundaries that let you heal and regain clarity.

Moving on doesn’t erase your feelings overnight, but it protects your heart. If you do see her, keep interactions light and casual, without giving yourself false hope. If she’s truly done, investing in your own growth, hobbies, and social connections will eventually open the door to someone who matches your emotional availability and desire for a committed relationship.

[Ethan Morales]

What matters most is clarity about what you want. You’re not looking for marriage, but you do want a steady, committed relationship. That’s perfectly reasonable. The question is whether his current emotional pace aligns with yours. If it doesn’t, you risk investing more time and energy than he’s capable of giving right now.

It sounds like he genuinely cares for you, but his past hurts are holding him back from fully loving again. That’s not about you; it’s about his emotional readiness. People heal at different speeds, and sometimes love grows over time, sometimes it doesn’t. You have to ask yourself if you’re willing to wait, and for how long, without it eroding your own happiness.

Take stock of the relationship as a whole. Is he attentive, kind, reliable, and committed in ways that matter to you? If yes, the absence of the L word may not be a dealbreaker. it could just be timing. But if there are other gaps in care, respect, or effort, that’s a red flag. Don’t confuse delayed emotional expression with being fundamentally incompatible.

Trust your instincts. If waiting feels tolerable and you’re seeing steady growth and mutual care, staying is reasonable. But if the uncertainty gnaws at you, or you feel your needs aren’t being met, it’s okay to step back. A relationship is about both timing and alignment missing either can lead to frustration and heartache.

[Ethan Morales]

Living with an ex when you still have feelings for them is a bad idea, plain and simple. It blurs boundaries and creates confusion for both of you. Even if she’s genuinely offering out of kindness, your hope that it might rekindle something makes the arrangement risky. You’ll be in a constant state of “what if,” and it’s likely to mess with both your emotions and hers.

The smart move is to politely decline and find another place to stay. That way, your intentions stay clear, and any pursuit of getting back together can happen without the complications of forced proximity. Distance here isn’t just safe. it actually strengthens your chances of having a healthy, intentional relationship if it’s meant to be.

[Ethan Morales]

You need to get real about what you want. You can’t sit in limbo, hoping signals and subtle touches will magically turn into a relationship. She’s giving you hints, yes, but hints alone aren’t enough especially in a situation with office boundaries, an ex-husband, and children involved. The signals only matter if you decide what you actually want: friendship, casual, or dating.

She’s clearly comfortable with you there’s attraction there, otherwise she wouldn’t be giving prolonged eye contact, physical touch, or playful gestures. But comfort and attraction are different from commitment. Right now, you’re stuck in a cycle of guessing her intentions and waiting for her to act first. That’s not sustainable if you want clarity.

The reality is this: she probably assumed you’re not interested in dating her because you haven’t asked her out directly. Humans respond to clear signals. She may be giving mixed signals or pulling back because she thinks you’re uninterested or intimidated. Fear on your part communicates hesitation, and people often respond to that by disengaging.

Her living situation with her ex and kids complicates things, and you have to account for it in your expectations. She may not be ready for a traditional relationship or a serious commitment. That doesn’t mean she can’t date you, but it does mean patience, understanding, and realistic boundaries are essential. Don’t assume she’s avoiding you for reasons tied to your worth. she’s balancing a complicated life.

If you want to move forward, you have to make a concrete move. Ask her out a real, intentional invitation, not a “bump into her by chance” moment. Call her, bring coffee, or invite her to dinner on the weekend. That action communicates interest clearly and removes the guesswork. You’ll either get clarity or rejection, but either outcome beats being stuck in uncertainty.

Fear is your enemy here. Being scared she doesn’t like you or worrying that she sees you as “just a friend” is only creating distance. Confidence, even imperfect confidence, is attractive. Make a decision, take action, and communicate directly. Attraction is clear now it’s time to see if connection and commitment can follow. Sitting and analyzing signals forever will only leave you frustrated.
