I have been talking to this guy since 2022. We are coursemates, and I like him. He asked me out when we met through WhatsApp text, and I thought he was joking, so I said he should do it offline. He said he’s a shy person, so I let it slide. He’s caring, a giver, sweet too, and he ticks my box for the type of guy I want to spend the rest of my life with. After he asked me out online and I refused, telling him to say it verbally, he became reluctant and never asked me out, but he kept giving me the vibe that we are something. I was doing hard girl, and I fell for him. He withdrew the effort, and we used to have a series of problems, but he’d apologize, and because I love him, I usually forgave him. He gives me relationship vibes, but he hasn’t asked me out. We’ve done everything romantically together, but we haven’t had sex before. I told him I’m not ready, but deep down I’m scared he doesn’t love me and would leave if I let him. We have been in this situationship for four years now, and he’s not ready to commit yet. I really want to leave, but I love him. I even asked him if he doesn’t want a relationship, and he said he’s not financially ready and doesn’t want me to suffer, so I should give him more time. Should I wait or leave? Does he truly love me? I truly love him, but I think I just have to leave. I don’t know how, because we are in the same department, and I’m scared of seeing him every day, not being able to talk to him, and the jealousy I would feel if I see him talking to another girl. I’m so sad.
