Thank you so much for the reassurance and advice. It really does help to hear it from someone else. You are absolutely right.

For the plan, I'm just kind of seeing where it goes, if it goes anywhere. Seeing if anything builds organically. We've both been through the ringer when it comes to toxic relationships. We are in no rush, we have no expectations. Right now it's just basically a fwb situation which I know can be risky. Yet the last thing I wanna do is put pressure on something if he's not ready to start dating again. I myself am keeping the mentality of "whatever will be, will be" But I do care deeply about him as a person. He is so funny, wonderful and so down to earth. Heck I'd date him in a heartbeat. We were supposed to meet again but then sadly his father's health took a turn.

We are 3 states away from each other so we both drive halfway to meet in the middle every now and then. Conviently we both have a friends house to crash at when we do see one another. Both of which are trying to persuade us to move there. (We're thinking about it!)
