So me and this guy been vibing for months. Going on regular dates having a great time. Then it happened... all of a sudden I got this text from him that said, hi there just want to say that you are a really great person but I don’t want to lead you on, if you looking to get in a relationship I’m not not interested, I don’t want/can’t. But I’m ok to still hang out with you if that something you interested in. What are your thoughts. I don’t get it? What you all think??

If you're looking for a relationship, don't waste your time with people who don't want to commit after a couple of months. People will string you along if you let them. Date with intention.

After months. Personally I think if he didn’t say he’d like to just continue a friendship, I suspect he’s thinking FWB.

Keep it moving, unless you truly want to hang out, and maybe have sex. 🙄 You’re obviously beautiful and interesting, don’t waste your pretty on him.

I know my response on this is mad late, but in the infamous words of Maya “OH HELLLLL NO!” 😂😂 Please drop him sis if you haven’t already. Don’t even waste another MINUTE of your golden time. He’s playing games only to have you in his back pocket if/when whichever shorty he’s talking to now doesn’t work out lol. Don’t beat yourself up for dating him. If it was a good time, let it remain as is but move on & do you boo💕

😂😂😂 I’m feeling that! I can’t do it, no bad feelings, once I lose interest I’m done. Ima have to let him know so the accumulation of unanswered texts can stop 🎤 drop.

If I may offer an alternative view: don’t we all wish to not be strung along? You date a guy for weeks, months. You think it’s going somewhere and are blindsided when it’s not. In my opinion he just did you a solid by not letting it get too far down the road. The wrapping on the gift may not have been great, but at least he told you now rather than later.

Me personally I’d leave him alone from there. Do you really need to be friends with him? For what? Whatever he has going on, no need for you to get in the middle, only to get your feelings hurt. Wish him well and move on.

Honestly, he could also just not have been that interested. Like “I kinda like you and obviously we enjoy hanging out, but I’m not falling in love.” I kinda get it because I can easily flirt/get along with most people and it’s easy to just keep going the way things are, but you want someone who is deeply into you and if it ain’t him, then he’s just not the one.

like

True, True True. Been there. But never mentioned falling in love or deep love. Good point maybe that was what he was afraid of who knows. But I know i don’t want any playmates that afraid to text something that I feel is an important face to face covo. So “I’m not ignoring the signs” I’m out ... been there and did that too!😂😂😂 thx

like

Honestly, I have a male friend who was just in this same situation and it has nothing to do with another woman. She was simply more invested in the relationship than he was. He had other priorities right now with business and family and knew he wasn't going to be able to reciprocate. Rather than lead her on, he broke it off.

Thanks everyone!

Recently left my previous employer and am trying to decide what to do with my 401K. I am able to roll it to my new employer, but have been thinking about converting it to an IRA and then subsequently converting that to a Roth over the next 3-5 years. I know this conversion is considered income in the year I convert, and therefore taxable in that year. Any other fish recently think through this? Any key things you considered when deciding what to do with your 401K?
