So here is a little backstory, I work with this guy that I have a huge crush on and a month ago he asked me out. We had muilple dates since then and I believed it was going good, we were making future date plans and everything. I hung out with him on a Tuesday (8/15) and it went well but then the next day at work he pulled me aside and said "I really like you but I can't continue this because I have a lot of thing going on" I was shocked and blindsided by this. Later that next I texted asking for a full explanation and he said that he wasn't over his ex and he tried moving on with me but couldn't get over his strong feeling for his ex. He never mentioned any ex to me or people at work so I never even knew he had one. He told me that he wants time to himself to figure things out and that right now we don't have a chance. Should I wait for him or just move on? I still really like him but right now I'm confused.
@Allikat27,
He ended it before HE thought it had gone too far. Unfortunately your perception of the entire thing was not the same as his.
Sorry.
Ignore him. He lost out.

There is nothing for you to wait for. You will move on eventually, one way or another, so you may as well start now.
@Allikat27,
So you wait until he gets over his ex only to find he's interested in someone else. There might not even be an ex, it could be his way of letting you down gently. Move on.

Answers your question for you.
@Allikat27,
It sounds like he's working through emotions and your best bet would be to carry on with your life. Respecting his decision and giving him some space will allow for you to potentially have a chance with him later on. In the meantime, it's best to continue doing your thing.
@Allikat27,
There is no reason for you to waiting for him. A man who wasn't over his ex but tried moving on with other girl, and the girl is you. It is a ridiculous thing for you, you are a nice girl, you don't need to become a rebound girl for others.
