look ..i'm in the same setuation as you r ...my ex said he not ready ..so we broke up. And i'm not the kind of girl who give up on everything and trying to get what i want but i just relise what is the point of tryting to get someone who doesn't want me. so i think i should be happy with single life and i don't need them to make me happy. But i love him so i give him what he want ..he want to be friends and i friends with him and he don't want me to hate him and angry ..so i don't and i just trying to be cooling off and i don't show him how much i need him and i told him i'm happy and give him his need but at the same time i'm making my self happy and enjoy my life without him...who know, i believe their is someone out there is waiting for you and me ...and i know i will be inlove again and so do u...but if he want to come back let him be and if he don't just set him free as he wish ...\n\nRemember if u trying to make ur self happy and if you happy life is good ...this is just a part of life ..let them go ...

if she says she isn't ready, she isn't ready but the best relationships start out as friends.  and I'm sure she wouldn't mine that.  its possible if your there when she is ready supporting her now could make you desirable when she's ready.

You're the only one that is able to make that decision.  If you think that you are ready and want a relationship, then go for it.  If not, wait a little while until you are able to commit fully and whole-heartily.

If he's "not ready" then he is just interested in the sex and not a relationship.

EITHER HE IS SCARED OR HE DIDNT MEAN IT....THIS GUY I KNOW HE TELLS ME HE LOVES ME AND I KNOW THAT HE IS TELLING THE TRUTH HE'S JUST NOT READY FOR THE COMMITMENT. SO I'M JUST GIVING HIM A BREAK UNTIL HE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT HE WANTS...ANOTHER THING YOU SHOULD DO IS TALK TO HIM LET HIM KNOW HOW YOU FEEL AND FIND OUT HOW HE FEELS BECAUSE THERE IS NO SINCE FOR YOU TO KEEP WASTING YOUR TIME ON SOMEONE WHO CANT MAKE UP HIS MIND..JUST GET IT ALL OUT IN THE OPEN SO THAT YOU KNOW WHETHER TO MOVE ON OR NOT

If you don't feel ready to date then don't.  When me and my ex broke up about 2 years ago (we've been together for a year)  I didn't want to date anyone for a year...and I didn't date anyone.  It's up to when you think you are ready to date again.  It's different with different people.  Some people heal faster than others.  But in the mean time you should keep busy.  Do things that you like to do.  After we broke up, I did a lot of volunteering.  That made me feel good because I was helping ones in need and it made me realize that things could be a lot worse than breaking up with a boy/girlfriend.  So just find things you like to do and keep your good friends around because they can be a great help as well.  Most importantly don't date until you are ready.  Don't let your boys pressure you into dating because that could make the your situation worse.  Well I hoped that helped.

If your not ready to have sex with him because hes not ready to commitment then you need to sit down and tell him that.  If he doesnt understand or just wont do it then too bad for him find some else that will respect your wishes.

it could be and it also could be he wants to move on but does not know how to tell you.  If he is not into the relationship end it before you get hurt

Yes, you should take some time, even if you don't think you need it, to reevaluate yourself, your feelings about the world and relationships.  If anything, just to make sure you will be okay, and not have a bad after effect later than expected.  You know, to make sure you still know you.  Relationships change people, even if they don't see it, so it is best to just relax, take a break, and make sure you are totally comfortable to go back into dating before you try again.  If you are not sure, just wait, it is likely you are feeling some subconcious doubt, and that will hurt your chances of a good experience.  You will want to give a new partner what they deserve, and you have to be confident and sure to really give it your all.

If you know she is not ready then give it time if it is right she will let you know in her own way and on her own time... Friends first don't push

How much time has passed?  If he's not willing to commit, then he's probably not right for you if that's what you are ready for. You can hang on for years with him, or get on with your life and find someone who will really value you, and want to make that committment.

ask yourself, how long are you willing to wait? and is that either with or without any assurance? because in a relationship, there is a so-called give and take and it applies on some instances such as yours. you cant make yourself wait that long and then it will all be in vain.how about considering your own happiness? go out and make yourself available to others, after all if the perfect guy is really meant for you, love will find a way so goes the cliché.

Have you told him. Chances are he will let you down easy and that will give you the closure you need to move on

I would think that most people have to be flexible in your situation. If the person is feeling rejected because of the situation I don't think that person should be in the relationship to begin with.

He might just not be that into you. If he's not ready, he's not ready. You cannot force it; otherwise it will end.

I've been the guy who pined after an ex (girlfriend in my case) to the point it almost cost me my relationship.  My girlfriend at the time issued the ultimatum.  "Give up the torch you're carrying, or the relationship is over."  I gave up the torch and was glad she'd forced me out of the rut. \n\nMen (and women) often continue to pine over a lost relationship because the feeling is familiar and therefore comfortable.  People often stay in painful mental places because it's less scary than letting go and entering the unknown.  Most times that unknown is LESS painful than pining away over a lost love, but the risk is scary.\n\nThere's also the possibility that he fears that she'll come back for him just after he takes the final steps away.  It may be she's encouraging him to think she might come back just to mess with his head.  It might be that he is generating his own fear of lost opportunity.  \n\nIn the end, you want nothing to do with him if he is still pining for her.  Give him the ultimatum.  Cease and desist all contact with her or get the hell out.  His reaction should be very enlightening.
