When y’all say “I don’t think I’m ready for a romantic relationship right now,” how often do you actually mean that, or is it just code for “not with you?”

It means I don’t think I’m ready right now. That’s it. It could be for many reasons like I just got out of a relationship and don’t want you to be a rebound, I feel tired of relationships at this moment, my last relationship ended roughly and I need some time to reflect, and other things. It may very well not be about you at all

As far as I’m aware, it can be both. But, if I hear it thrown at me, I’m just backing down completely. If you tell me, “I don’t want a relationship right now”, I will reject you if you ask later 🤷

I think men (if that’s who we’re referring to) can actually mean it, however that doesn’t mean that in the months to come they don’t try to circle back once they have things settled in their life
