I would love to be friend with him! That is how I like to start my relationships. I get to know the person first then I can love them. I know it's not common but that is how I "work" in relationships. I am that person with whom you have most chances when you are so to say "friend-zoned". I am very used to be alone, I am extremely independent, and as a single mom I didn't want to get into relationships anyway, because of my kid, but then I just got used to being alone. But my daughter is an adult now, and I still feel kind of pressured into this. It's not that I don't want relationship but this type of pressure scared me. He literally said on SECOND date when I barely know him, that he expects that we meet at least 2 to 3 times a week otherwise "why bother". And he said he is very jealous (I am not) and that he "always knows" when woman is lying where she was and that he knows "everything", which sounded a bit like a threat. but I might be wrong here.
I also like men who are a bit nerdy, clumsy, who I can love with all their flaws because I like people being human. This man is too perfect. He presents himself as a saint, I can't read him, after 2 dates I have no idea who he is, and being pressured into seeing him every few days is a bit much to me. I don't want to grow old alone but I don't want to be pressured into something I am not sure about. I need time, but he won't give me time. Maybe I am not afraid of relationships, maybe I am afraid of him?
