Original Reddit post

I need some outside perspective because I’ve been overthinking this a lot. I (19F) was talking to a guy (23M) for a couple of months. He was always very respectful, kind, and consistent, and nothing ever felt weird between us. At some point I randomly saw him interacting in another girl’s TikTok comments and it made me feel really weird. We were not dating, so he technically did nothing wrong, but it still bothered me and I didn’t know how to react. I didn’t say anything and just kept talking to him. Not long after that, I went through a really low period in my life and decided to cut contact completely. I removed him from everything without any explanation. He didn’t reach out after that. We’re both from Germany and I knew he was going to the US for a while. When he came back, he messaged me and asked why I broke contact, and we started talking again. He told me he was really glad we’re back in contact and that he actually felt really bad when I disappeared like that. Now we talk regularly again. He also asked a few times if I want to meet, but I said I don’t want to yet because of personal reasons. He knows why and he respects it, he doesn’t pressure me about it. The thing that’s messing with my head is that a lot of people say when a man comes back into your life, it just means he thinks you’re available and that he can come back whenever he wants. Now I’m scared that maybe he’s not genuine and just keeping me as an option, or that something happened while he was in the US and now he’s back because it didn’t work out there. I honestly don’t know if I’m overthinking this or if my doubts are valid. From his behavior he seems sincere, but I’m still unsure. EDIT: I also feel like when I give him attention and show him that I like him, he pulls back?? submitted by /u/Justhereforhelp-1
