I'm not sure. Obviously this is different for different people. It's very possible he does not want to end the relationship because he might still have feelings for you. Also, another possibility is that he wants to be able to be free of you but still have you be attached to him in case he wants you back, but still have access to other dates. This is not right. Possibly you can see a relationship counselor, or get support in an online or in-person group.

Human emotions are not like a digital clock or cannot be described in binary code of yes or no. He may not want to break up in the hope of recovering and resuming his emotions for you.

He probably just needs some time to think things through. He could be quite unsure about his own feelings, but he is sure that he still wants you in his life.

it means that you need to move on, you should always put yourself first and you simply cannot stay with someone who does not love you. you are worthy of love. do not ever let anyone make you feel like you are not. please.

He means that he feels confused about this relationship and isn't sure what to do. He still loves you as he cares about you because he didn't want to break your heart by breaking up with you.

(believe my words, i told that before to a girl) he is unsure about his situation. he attached to you and its hard for him to just end everything, but he thinks this relation is not going to be as fine as he thought. you know, the feelings disappear after a while and that's when brain leads. this is a unstable situation dont do anything which is harmful for you just to keep him. if he wants to stay he will. if no, he will not. deal with it and don't panic thats all. life still goes and trust me everything will be fine after couple months

In my experience, it means they are not quite sure of their feelings and need time to figure out what they really want. It doesn't necessarily mean they don't love you though. These types of situations can be very hard to deal with and can leave the partner feeling very confused, but it's important to remember that these people are confused themselves. They are not doing this to hurt you, rather they just want to make sure you're aware ahead of time if something happens. Usually, these people just need support and to know someone is there for them.

Dear listener, I believe that either the person in question is not ready to commit and hence is not ready to truly love you. I believe that people evolve and change but any person choosing (because let's be honest he does have the choice to either stay or leave) to not commit, is one that is not truly in love. I know it stings,hurts and does not make sense, but that's the truth. I'm pretty sure that when you love someone truly you know it deep down and you will not risk anything to make your partner have any doubts concerning that.

It means you should get out of there. You deserve someone who is sure and who wants to be with you more than anything. You don't deserve to be a side dish or a second chance or a commodity. You deserve to be a priority and you deserve someone who treats you with respect and recognizes and gives you the value you have. Don't leave the decision of your life in the hands of others, no matter how much you love them. If he isn't sure if he loves you anymore, ok, he can take his time to think about it. But you NEVER have or should tolerate to be with someone in those conditions.

He might need some time to think about where his relationship with you is going. If he isn't sure if he loves you, he needs to figure that out if he truly does or else there is no point in the relationship.
