We met online through a game and immediately got along very well.
At first we just chatted and very quickly realized that we had a lot in common. He lives about 2 hours away from me. We also talked about our past and ex-partners. At that point it was said that he was over his ex and didn't want a new relationship at the moment, but he doesn't know if it's right that he doesn't want a nee relationship.
We wanted to have normal contact first and not start dating straight away.
He and his ex were on/off for 2 years apparently both were very toxic. She apparently wrote to other men but always wanted him again and, according to him, he was also very disgusting towards her but in the end he always got involved in this relationship.
Now we wanted to meet after about 2 weeks. He wanted to come to my city and also booked the tickets and a hotel. (He would have slept there alone since we agreed on it that way).
I would also like to say that we noticed a certain attraction as far as possible online and decided to see how our meeting would be without having expectations. I also told him that he could take his time because I didn't want to put him under stress with anything regarding our contact.
We would also talk about everything according to our feelings as we also did understand each other very good.
So now back to the actual topic.
A few hours ago he wrote to me that he was unsure about the meeting, that he was only recently out of this relationship and that he still had feelings for his ex.
He called me straight afterwards to talk to me about it. He said that it had nothing to do with me and that it felt nice talking and spending time with me at first, but since yesterday night he has been feeling guilty towards his ex-girlfriend at the thought of the meeting.
The thing is I saw that he also saved some of my pictures to his album (just face pics) and after asking him about it because that didn’t made sense to me, he said that the pictures are beautiful and he somehow wanted them.
My question now is, what do I do? We broke off contact and parted on good terms, but it doesn't feel right. I said to him he can write me if something is happening and I hope that he does well.
I also try to distract myself and normally when something like that happens it works quite well, but this time it all feels very different.
I don’t have any other person to talk to because I too didn’t want a relationship because I’m a little unsure.
It’s not the first time something like that happened.
As a little info, we haven't blocked or unfollowed each other, so he has the opportunity to contact me.
English is not my first language so I’m sorry for incorrect grammar.
