I was in a relationship with a great guy for about 14 months. Before that we were very very close friends. A few months ago he was asking his family members all about engagement rings and when we first started to go out he told me that I was the girl he wanted to marry. However we are in a long distance relationship and we barely spend time with each other having taken our relationship for granted since we started out as friends. We go out about 3 or 4x n a month and it didn't matter at first. About end of last year, i started to feel unhappy and unsatisfied with our relationship and it started to fall apart. We became more and more distant. I finally had the guts to tell him i was unhappy about two weeks ago and he told me that he loved me like a friend or a sister only and that he didn't love me as more than that. However when we finally got the chance to talk, he told me that he was confused about his feelings and he needed time for himself to grow. He is a couple years younger than i am. I'm in my late twenties and he's in his early twenties and is a very immature guy. I so love him and want to make the relationship work and am willing to sacrifice everything for him. Now he's asking for a cool off period because he wants to think and confirm how he feels about me whether as a friend or more than that. I asked him for a time limit and he said he didn't want a time limit because he would just feel pressured. I asked him to define the cool off and he said we are still committed to each other but we act as friends and let the relationship develop naturally later on. But He hasn't contacted me in two weeks at all. we haven't spoken to each other. How much time should i give him?
I don't want to keep on hoping and waiting for something. But i also can't let go right now.
How long do you think is the appropriate time i give him before i contact him? Everyday has been hell to me.
