I have been dating a girl casually and she says she has very intense feelings for me but is not ready for a relationship.

When she told me this I started to move on and she was very upset. So she insists she wants me in her life but she just needs to work some things out. Is this normal for girls? Im not a big fan of the ambiguity but we really do like each other. I just want to get a females perspective on this because it is confusing but I do know she has genuine feelings for me. Any Insight?

Everbody had some issues. She has relationship issues. If she interests you, and you don’t mind the fact that it will be a long and somewhat rough process working out the potential between the two of you, go for it. On the other hand, if you are more interested in a mature and stable relationship, be honest with her. Let her know that you would like to see her, but only if her issues are worked out. Let her know that you just aren’t prepared to deal with significant issues at this time.

Venus and Mars!

Men need clear answers.. women give fuzzy answers.

It’s a good read, by the way, the book Women are from Venus and Men are from Mars. It may help clear some things up.

She isn’t ready to take your relationship to the next level, in fact she’s a bit spooked by it. She was comfortable where she was at, now she’s feeling less comfortable because she thinks you aren’t !

Give her a little time but don’t wait for her to make up her mind for ever. If she wants to just be friends, that’s cool. But she needs to know she can’t keep you on a string and expect you not to date other girls if that’s her choice.

Women love to keep the guy waiting and in suspense! If you are willing to go along, go along. Otherwise think about your next move and do it.

This is just what happens when someone doesn’t know what she/he wants out of life.
Is there anything else bothering her right now? Another duty she must commit to?
It’s very painful to be in her position but perhaps she is doing what is best. And it would be most respectful of you to move on and let her sort her bigger issues out. If she is truly aware of how important her other obligations are and has respect for you, she will have to take it upon herself to slowly detach herself from you and move on herself.

Might I add the more you see each other, the more painful it will be to part…so just confront her about this, if my presumptions of her are correct, and leave each other alone afterward… Even minimal contact will cause so much unnecessary pain.
