He's been bereaved

[chasegirl]

Lost his Dad a few weeks ago had to travel abroad for the funeral. Have messaged daily regularly and seen him once since.

He's not back at work yet, taken some sick leave.

We have dated for a few months and not in a full relationship but as far as I know not dating other people.

Just after advice, not sure how to proceed from here. Do I leave it up to him to initiate dating again or just let it fade out? Obviously don't want to put any demands on him

Forgot to say he's back in the UK niw and seen him once since his return

What are the daily messages like? What does he need right now?

I'd leave it up to him. He knows your number, he'll reach out if he's interested.

I d9ntvreally know what he needs. He's lo9king after his Mom and has some legal.stuff to sort out

Daily messages are chatty and friendly asking how i am etc sharing a few updates

Don't initiate contact. You're not even sure if you are exclusive.

Send one text, perhaps, saying 'Really sorry for your loss. I appreciate you are tied up with family but you know where I am if you need anything'.

Then leave him alone.

I d9ntvreally know what he needs.

Have you asked if there's anything you can help out with? You don't have to ask, but then again you won't know unless you do.

He will be absolutely distraught about losing his Dad. It's a totally life changing moment.

He seriously wont be interested in dating other people. His rock just died.

He will be sorting the boring legal stuff out.

If he was nice when you dated, just allow him a bit of time. He will be going through a whirlwind right now.

Going through the death of a parent is ridiculously difficult.

He obviously thinks a lot about you to keep messaging. Go with the flow. Dont be impatient.
