Ambiguity period confusion, should I express my thoughts to him? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

There was an ambiguous person I've been seeing for about 2.3 months, introduced by someone else. Since we're long-distance, we mostly chat and it's quite pleasant. However, recently, due to financial strain, I borrowed some money from him, and I felt he was reluctant, so I returned it and told him I borrowed it from someone else. He accepted it, and I think it's either because he's also in financial trouble or he didn't want to lend it to me. I feel it's the latter, and I've been a bit disappointed. I thought we had a good chat, he would buy me flowers and treats, but there were fewer occasions, about 12.3 in total over three months. I feel it's less than I expected, and I'm not saying I need him to give me a lot, but being long-distance, I need to feel loved, and that involves gifts. We've discussed our preferred ways of being loved before, and I've told him. I feel like he may not like me as much. My family introduced another match, and I think it's okay, so I've been a bit distant from him recently. I also mentioned it to him, and he got a bit upset, but his reaction was still decent. I'm not sure if I should gently share my thoughts with him.

Hi, I'm Strawberry.

The questioner has been seeing an ambiguous partner for two or three months. They have a good impression of each other but have not confirmed the relationship. It is similar to a blind date. If they feel suitable, they will continue to date. If not, they will not get along. It will not waste each other's emotional investment.

The questioner and the other person are in different places. They usually chat. You get along. Recently, the questioner needed money. He asked the other person for a loan. You said you didn't need it and returned the money. The other person didn't say anything. Because of this, the questioner is unhappy.

You don't know much about each other because you were introduced by someone else and are in different places. Sometimes you can't understand someone just from chatting. It's normal for the other person to behave this way. He usually buys you flowers and orders food. He is still willing to spend money on you. Borrowing money involves a financial relationship. It can't be discussed in terms of whether or not you should be generous to him.

Should I tell him what I think?

You can tell the other person how you feel.

You're in different places, so the questioner wants to enjoy some of the other person's actions so you can feel they have feelings for you and know you're safe. Everyone has different pursuits, so the questioner can express their thoughts to the other person.

Explaining to the other person can also end the relationship. This is how such behavior is described.

2. Know what you want.

During the months of ambiguity, the other person will show goodwill and interact with you as a couple. However, he has not confirmed your relationship with the questioner, which makes the questioner feel insecure and afraid to invest too much. His actions have always been under the questioner's scrutiny.

I brought up the subject at home, and the subject liked the other person, so they tried to get along with them. After getting along, the subject told the other person about their situation and distanced themselves. This is your choice, and you were honest, which is responsible for your relationship.

The questioner felt angry after talking to him, but his reaction was okay. Perhaps he hoped he would say something. After all, after spending a few months together, it is impossible to say that there is no emotional investment. We cannot say what he is thinking inside. The questioner feels that there may be a little expectation!

3. No regrets about your choice.

The questioner chose to distance himself from him. He didn't express his thoughts, making you feel he lacks an attitude towards you. You don't want to continue this relationship. After getting to know each other, he still has some gaps with your standards for a partner.

Give yourself time to manage this new relationship, say goodbye to the previous one, and summarize the problems from the previous relationship to avoid the same problems in this new relationship.

We're always experimenting, and it's not always clear if the person we meet is the right one. Some people help us become better versions of ourselves, and we can also see our own shortcomings. As long as we're not regretting our choice, it's fine.

I hope this helps. Best wishes.

To get along in life, you have to express your thoughts. It's like going to the bank to apply for a bank card. The staff will explain what you need and what documents you need to apply for.

If you're afraid of being laughed at or disliked for asking too many questions, your personal growth will suffer. In love, be honest and explain your current emotional state.

Should you share your thoughts during this confusing time?

The person you've been seeing for three months was also introduced to you by someone else.

You borrowed money from him and he accepted it.

Ambiguity

Doubts

Know why the other person did it, if there's anything else inappropriate, and if you didn't know he was also financially strapped. You can also make this clear.

Let trust grow between you.

To live well, be open and honest.

The other person has problems too.

Sometimes we feel like we're the only one in a difficult situation. But the other person might be going through something too. You're disappointed that the other person won't lend you money.

You think you have a good relationship, but your partner gives you less affection than you think. You still long to feel your partner's love through gifts. You have discussed this issue.

The other person may still have a lot to improve. You just happen to see that the family has introduced another matchmaking candidate. You also have quite a few options. There are more men than women, and women have more choice.

This is your right. Once you have a new blind date, you will naturally become distant from your current blind date. The other person may not be able to accept this. It's like when you were looking for a son-in-law. Many boys had to compete to win your attention.

The other person is angry. Talk about one matchmaking partner at a time. Explain what kind of love you want. Best wishes.

I can understand how you're feeling. It's tough when expectations and realities don't align, especially in a longdistance relationship. Maybe it's time to reassess what you both want from this connection.

Winona Thomas True growth occurs when we are pushed out of our comfort zones.

It sounds like communication is key here. Have you considered expressing your feelings about the gifts and financial situation directly? He might not be fully aware of your thoughts.

Jayson Davis Teaching is the greatest act of optimism.

Feeling loved through actions and gestures is important. Since you've already discussed your love languages, perhaps he needs a gentle reminder. It's okay to voice your needs.

August Miller To possess a vast array of knowledge is to have the power to engage with any intellectual challenge.

Sometimes people react differently under pressure or stress. If finances are tight for him too, that could explain his reluctance. Maybe you two can have an open conversation about your current situations.

Carlos Davis Diligence is the touchstone that tests the metal of determination.

You seem thoughtful and considerate. It's commendable that you returned the money and found another way. Still, if you feel the connection isn't as strong, it might be worth exploring other matches with an open mind.
