Dating and Benching

Nobody should put you in the corner.

You may have started dating someone and just when you thought that everything was going good, he or she may have decided not to date you anymore and to move on with someone else. But what do you do if he or she is still in contact with you and still shows interest in the potential of your relationship? What if he or she just isn’t ready for this kind of relationship right now? How do you approach this kind of situation? Should you wait for the right moment? Though the answers to these questions can be different for everyone, here are a few suggestions.

1. Think about your feelings.

Determine how strong your feelings for the other person are and if the feelings that you have while you are waiting for him or her to come back to you are worth dealing with. Determine how this situation is affecting the other areas of your life if at all, and try to figure out if this is the best thing for you.

2. Find out what his or her feelings are.

If you want to understand both sides of the situation, you may want to ask him or her how he or she feels about you and why he or she is waiting to get into a relationship. Try to determine how serious his or her feelings are for you and determine if your emotions are stronger than his or hers when it comes to the two of you getting together.

3. Set boundaries with him or her.

Let him or her know if you are willing to wait until he or she comes around. If you are not willing to do this, then let this person know how you feel and why you are not willing to wait. If you decide to give him or her the option to pick you now, let him or her know what will happen if he or she doesn’t choose you during the time period that you set, whether that be that you move on with someone else or it be a loss in communication between the two of you.

If someone is putting you to the side while he or she dates other people, then it might be time to put your foot down. Talk to the person, and let him or her know how you feel. Find out what his or her feelings are, and set boundaries. Maybe, you will establish more clarity.
