Well I'm on to a different fellow who is a big improvement from the last one except there are a few problems in my mind and I could really use some feedback to get other people's impressions or point of view.

I have only seen this new man 2 times and have already started to freak out a bit about some of the things he has said. I don't know if this is me and I just need to chill, or if it is worth bring up with him, or how to handle things. It could also be cultural. He grew up in a middle eastern country and I'm wondering if that might be part of it too. Or our communication is a bit off.

Well the big thing is my position is that for now I am looking for a platonic relationship as friends and that has been my position from the very beginning. The first email exchange we had, he asked if I'd be open to the possibility of more, and I said anything was possible but I am not thinking about that at the moment. i am interested in friendship. Well, each time I have seen him he has brought this up again, talking about his 'needs' as a man and asking me if he should look for another woman to have a relationship or should wait for me to make up my mind... I told him he was putting pressure on me and I couldn't answer after seeing him only twice but if he wanted to look elsewhere I was ok with that because I'm only interested in friendship for now.

Well this morning it was bothering me so I texted him that I am definitely only interested in friendship and for him to let me know if this was ok with him or not.

I'm looking for friendship. He's looking for a relationship. Well we will see what he writes.

Am I over-reacting?
