Low expectations about relationship

If you had just got together with someone and you were taking things slowly, and they said to have low expectations about a relationship, would you even bother?

I’m feeling that if I let it carry on I’m in danger of just being the gap filler girlfriend. Would you agree?

Yeah I wouldn't bother either if someone said that to me

Oh god that would be a huge turn off, I’d find that really insulting. They must have a really high opinion of themselves!

Yeah that’s how I’m feeling, insulted. Think I should cut this one loose and get on with my life.

Thanks ladies Smile

Agreed, that's insulting and I think they'd lose respect for you for staying!
I'd bin them off and find someone who doesn't have their head stuck up their bum :)

I’ve sent him a message saying I wish him well and no hard feelings. He’s read it but not replied. Says it all really lol.

Feel really disappointed though, it started out so well and I thought we were on the same page.

Then the old ‘ I have issues with commitment’ card comes out. Pathetic really.
