Need some relationship advice guys
So guys, here's the situation.
My friend has been in a situationship with this guy for the past four months. He recently flew to Delhi just to spend three days with her.
Tomorrow he's going back home, and after that he'll be moving away for college.
Today, right before leaving, he confessed his feelings and proposed to her.
She hasn't given him an answer yet, and here's why.
There's a certain gap between them that's making her uncomfortable. He literally took a flight from another state just to spend three days with her (he's a teenager too). They went on a few nice dates, and at one point he told her, "Next time I come to Delhi, I'll increase my budget."
I think( ACTUALLY WE) he said that because he felt bad that he couldn't spend more, and honestly, that made my friend feel a little guilty.
The thing is, she really likes him. I can confidently say she's very much into him. But she's also a little skeptical about getting into a relationship.
She can't travel to another state to meet him.
He's about to start college, so their lives are going to change a lot.
It would be a ldr.
He's genuinely a sweet guy, but he's a bit insecure, and she doesn't want to unintentionally make that worse.
Everything is happening so fast.
She doesn't want to reject him, and she definitely doesn't want to hurt his feelings. She just needs a little more time before committing to a relationship.
The only thing she's worried about is whether asking for time will make him feel insecure or think she's not interested, because that's not the case at all.
How can she explain this to him in a way that reassures him without giving him the wrong idea?
