Dionee' agony auntIt appears to me that he is unwilling to commit at the moment, for whatever reason. I would move on with my life instead of waiting around for some guy to choose me.

He's a player, and has gotten what he wanted. Now he's ready to put some space between you. You won't be giving him space; he'll voluntarily distance himself from you.

I don't believe someone between 36-40 wrote this. It's almost childish, like someone between 13-15! What did you do, put your mothers age? Maybe you're too young to be having sex?

If you are 36-40, you might want to express yourself using full and grammatically proper sentences. Don't use slang and too many abbreviations; if you want to be taken seriously and respected. You're now a mature and dignified adult.

Youcannotbeserious agony auntAre you really in your late 30s/40? I ask because I wonder who would call someone of that age "baby girl". I suspect you are actually much younger and this older bloke got cold feet and decided to back off before he got into trouble.

If someone makes it plain they have no time for you (regardless of their "reasons"), you need to listen.

A female reader, CindyCares Italy +, writes (23 May 2020):

CindyCares agony aunt I think he wants something very casual.

" I need to get on my feet " means " I need to get on my feet, before I can act reliable and consistent and do anything even similar to dating ". Which, btw, could be the truth ( meaning, when he is back on his feet he will be less flaky ) or could be an excuse to get you off his back. Only time would tell- ( and personally , I really don't know if I would want to invest time in someone who is clearly a fixer-upper, at least financially, and not emotionally available right now ).

Anyway, regardless of what he'll do in future, yes, he shows he wants space right now.

kenny agony auntOP are you sure you have got the age brackets of 36-40 correct.

From the limited information you have provided for this post its hard to say if he likes you or not.

It sounds like the relationship is in its early stages, and sounds like he is having a hard time at the moment.

If you like him just be understanding and be there for him.
