For the last few months there has been a young gentleman at work that I’ve been interested in. He was quiet, reserved and respectful in a room filled with women. He’s originally Afghan. He reached out to me (very respectfully) and we started talking. The conversations were deep, very respectful, and he was very kind.
He asked me out on a date to go to the movies. It was a cute date, respectful we didn’t even hug or shake hands. Throughout the entire movie he kept checking in on me, making cute little side comments. It was an odd decision for a first date, but it went really well.
After the date we were talking as usual, and he began to ask me questions about if I’d ever been in love. I started asking him too. He then revealed his mom plans on getting him engaged to a girl from Afghanistan in a few days. His mom lives in Afghanistan also. He kept apologising and said he wasn’t sure until the night before he took me to the movies. And he asked me if he’s a cheater because of this. I immediately distanced myself. I respected him, and because of a past traumatic experience me respecting me was a new thing. He then told me it’s been making him very depressed because he’s going to have to let go of someone he likes very much to be with someone he doesn’t know, and that he can’t say no to his mom because of her age.

For context, I’m 23, and he’s 30. Neither of us have ever been married. I was in a 4 year relationship that took 2 years of healing. I felt so damaged at a young age. The one time I open my heart, this happens.

Don’t postpone the apology…
Don’t silence the truth…
Don’t shrink your joy to make others comfortable…
Say the words, take the leap…
Chose peace over pride…
Because moments don’t wait..
Neither should you..
Hold what matters…
Release what drains you…
