Please help me as I am obviously getting old and do not understand the "now" generation.
My daughter told me that her friend has been in a stable relationship with a guy she met 6 months ago. They've been simply inseparable, spending at least 3 days a week together.
Out of the blue, he told her 2 weeks ago, that he doesn't think things are working out between them. She, in shock apparently, ask him if he has met someone else, to which he promptly responded " <span style="font-style: italic">NO, I am attracted to you but feel overwhelmed with work etc. and need to decide what to do about us. I feel like I am at a crossroad in my life and need to make a decision, plus I hardly know how you feel about me. I don't think we even know each other well, and I feel like when I need you the most, you are not around</span>." She apparently, doesn't answer her cell phone EVERY time he calls her.
During the meeting where he broke the news, he was all hands, hugging her tightly and kissing her face... even asking her whether she had changed her shampoo, after burying his head in her hair.
He told her that he needed some time to "think" about "us". She was devastated and did not know what to do with herself. She went to the Bahamas for the weekend last weekend, when they were supposed to talk again...to further discuss, because she was "nervous" about the outcome.
She hasn't spoken with him since. They have texted briefly and emailed one liners. He has been very polite to her but not forthcoming.
She decided yesterday to put his personal stuff in a bag, and let him know that he needed to retrieve them. She offered to leave it at the receptionist at her job, but he insisted on picking it up from her apt. on Wed.
My daughter told me that she is now wondering whether he is planning a surprised engagement or something of the sort.
What do you think? I am just old and flabbergasted.
