Q: Female, 21
I was recently dating a guy I thought I really clicked with. He talked about our future on several occasions, and he really seemed to be interested in me (like I said, we clicked, and not just on my end). He recieved a promotion that requires him to take frequent business trips, though, and he says he can't start a new relationship right now, especially since there might be fights about it and he might ruin what might be in the future. To his credit, I did contact him with concern even when he told me he wouldn't be able to talk (I know for a fact he was quite busy). He also said he didn't want to deprive me of someone who could put in enough time to be a real boyfriend. He also said he's not going anywhere and has kept me posted on major events in his life. So, is he to be believed? Should I get over him? Should I date around and wait (he said it will be super busy for about 7 months)? Should I just wait? I really feel like this is the guy for me, and I'm trying to keep the faith, but I feel obsessive for believing what may be a line. Help?

i say that if he is willing to tell you that you need someone to give you their time then he wants to but can't right now. so i would stick around with the belief that he feels the same way about you and tell him that it doesn't bother you that he is away for work as long as he is willing to spend some time with you when he isn't too busy with work. stick with him if you think that he may be the one for you.

Thank you. I think I just need confirmation that I'm not looking for love when there's only a line, lol.
