Hi , I'm in my early forties and I've been chatting to a man online ,on and off for past four years , he's in his late thirties, first time we meant we had sex ,I know it was to soon but we were both really attracted to each other , I didn't hear from him for a while then he started texting me , I really like his personality, we would text on and off for months , recently he has told me that he loves me ,but he doesn't want a relationship yet as his last relationship really hurt him and he doesn't feel ready , he said that if I did date someone else he'd be really jealous and it would hurt him, I don't know what to do I love him but am I meant to just wait and wait on a recent text to him I asked him if he saw a future with me and he said here we go again I told you I love you but I'm not ready for a relationship, I haven't heard from him in over a week and don't know what to do as I miss him a lot any advice would be appreciated thank you.
