Should I wait until he is ready for an exclusive relationship?

Nov 23, 2016

We talked about it and he said he wasn't ready for an exclusive relationship to which I answered that I was too far in emotionally to be in an open one

I recently started dating a guy who was widowed a few months ago following a long marriage to his wife who died from a terminal illness after 18 months.

It was all moving very quickly and we were having such a lovely time. He was very responsive and we spent a lot of time together. Then after about a month he asked me to meet his daughter the following week. That was on the Sunday and by the Tuesday he had gone cold on me and put his profile back live on the dating site.

We talked about it and he said he wasn't ready for an exclusive relationship to which I answered that I was too far in emotionally to be in an open one. We decided to stay friends and I am trying not to contact him - he randomly messages me for no real reason.

He said he felt that I was more emotionally involved than he was and that he was "trying to love me" I'm confused because when I catch him looking at me in a very loving way when we were together! Am I just on the hook or does he still like me and just needs time?
