I have no feelings for a man, but I'm afraid to be alone

I have no feelings for a man, but I'm afraid to be alone
Photo is illustrative in nature. From open sources.

I'm 33 years old, divorced, have a ten year olddaughter . Reason for divorce -treason husband . We tried to make peace, but it didn’t work out. She kicked him out herself. We haven't lived together for 5 years now. The first years were terribly difficult, but time heals and everything is in the past. Now I work in a managerial position and am quite financially secure. A serious relationship never happened, the usual routine took over - work and home. But recently (a couple of months ago) old acquaintances living in one of the European countries introduced us to a lonely man. He is 48 years old, moved there 4 years ago, been widowed for 2 years, no children. He learns the local language and lives on benefits, plans to go back to work after quarantine (according to him), and has a reasonable income in his native country.

We started corresponding. If it weren't for my friends, I wouldn't even startcommunication . They presented him as a very good person. I was very confused by his age, and by his appearance - gray-haired, overweight. I even refused to communicate at first, butfriends persuaded me to give it a chance. As it turns out, our views coincide on many things. He seemed to me quite test-antibiotic.com polite, although quick-tempered. However, we must give it its due - it goes away quickly. I don't have the charactersugar . I’m used to managing and managing, and to freedom of will. He's pretty patient about it all. According to him, he has become attached to me, feels that he misses me, has very warm feelings, maybe he has fallen in love. This is not clear to me, in such a short time, I suspect that he is simply very lonely, and he is in a hurry to find a family, comfort, care and a child. Although he now lives with his brother and communicates with a lot of friends.

YoursI’ll describe my attitude towards him this way: it’s interesting to be with him, but without him it’s calmer and more comfortable. Maybe it's selfishness andfear of change? He offers, in case of mutual agreement as a result of communication, to get married and for me to move there with the child and mother. All questions and expenses are borne by us. I explained to him that he shouldn’t rush and put pressure on me, that I don’t have feelings yet and I won’t be able to give a concrete answer in the near future. He agreed. Now we have happenedtest-antibiotic.com quarrel because he often asked for my photos or video chat. And this annoys me. I understand that he is bored, but I have something to do and I am not a teenager to take pictures every day at every step. I explained this to him several times, and he agreed. And then he asked again. And when this made me angry and I expressed it quite sharply, he replied that I should have just said it and not gotten angry. But I have already calmly explained this many times, that is, it means that he does not hear me and does not take into account my opinion. I again told him that I had not yet developed feelings. He was offended, believes that I am looking for a reason to stop communicating, and that he was excessively soft-hearted and exposed his feelings, such as “love harmed love.” This makes me indignant, but now I don’t owe him for his feelings! Initially, she didn’t promise anything and was honest. And anyway, what kind of love are we talking about? True, after that he again met halfway and made an attempt at reconciliation. But I didn’t answer test-antibiotic.com, I needed time to think about it, and now we haven’t communicated for a couple of days.

I respect him and I probably feel a little sorry for him. You may ask why I need these at all.relationship . There's probably no need. Moving is also hard, I don’t want to leave everything behind. Maybe I saw this as my last chance, although that may not be the case. I am quite pretty and independent, sociable. It seems that everythinglife is still ahead. Although, maybe, if I treat him so dismissively now, then the same thing may await me in the futureloneliness . And now I’m thinking what to do with all this. He seems like a good person, what else is needed for family life, but apparently he hasn’t caught on yet. Continue to silently ignore or explain yourself and stop communicating? Or give yourself time and try to develop feelings for this person?
