I saw that man I've fallen for once again very briefly today

It feels scary and that it's fading. I haven't felt like that for a long time and it's scary, this distance, change, me moving away, him moving away.

I walked through the table I was seated the first time I've met him. From the very first moment we had this thing and we shared light and hope and laughs. It's not been in my head, it's been real.
He's told me how he finds me overwhelmingly positive. He said I'm too high and he has to constantly be very grounded when he meets me and he doesn't like that. He said I'm changing my words depending on what another person says and he doesn't like that. He's said he doesn't want it so many times and why do I still insist?
I want to tell him that I want to try, because I never made that clear with my itinerary and buying a ticket to Greece.
But I cannot say anything because I'm afraid he'll reject me even more and I feel silly, like I don't understand.

I have mixed feelings about this. I think I don't like him but at the same time I respect his honesty. I think he could have just said the things you want to hear, but instead he chose to be true. I think you're too much for him, love, and you shouldn't have to change for anybody and he has that right as well. It's such a bittersweet story and I'm sorry you're hurting. 🫂

@Tumbleweed Doesn’t seem like honesty to me, seems like a form of negging

@Fallflower I see your point but he could have led her on & said what he thought she wanted to hear & that would have ended in devastation.
