I met him around a month ago and initially hit it off. We went out around 6 times together. He would be really affectionate with me, kiss me, hold my hand, even tell me he wanted me to meet his friends.
But anytime I would ask him if he saw this going anywhere he would say I don’t know because he is a current alcoholic and nicotine addict. He said he wants to be sober before being serious. Well he decided he did not want to continue romantically with me because he felt I was unable to meet his needs and him meet mine.
He wants to keep in touch and still be friends until he gets clean to pursue something. But I don’t like this. If he really wanted me he would have made it happen. I feel weird remaining in touch while I still have feelings.
I don’t know why I feel sad if I only knew him for about a month. I get so sad thinking of all the things he said and it wasn’t even true.
TLDR: Met an addict and he did not want to be serious until he was clean and wants to stay “friends” in the mean time. I started to really like him even with it just being a month. How do I move forward from the let down?
