I got to know someone not too long ago. I like everything about the person. I can say that I am attracted to this person physically and emotionally. In fact, I felt I was getting too involved with this person. However, I felt that this person was not ready for me and give me the kind of commitment that I needed. I asked this person and it turned out I was right. Instead of pursuing this person and let nature take its course, I set the person I love free.
My mind tells me that I have done the right thing but my heart tells me otherwise. Did I do the right thing or have I committed a terrible mistake?
Have you been in a similar situation before?

I haven't been in a similiar situation but let me ask you...was he/she hurt when you broke it off. If it is meant to be I believe eventually you will be together. YOu know the old saying..."if you love someone set it free..." good luck

This person was sad when I broke it off. But at the same time, this person admitted to not being ready to bring the relationship to the next level. This is what that is confusing me. Thanks for the consolation, anyway.

It's true. This is the exact reason why I choose to set this person free. But now, I am beginning to have second thoughts about it...

You did not do anyhing wrong by setting your loved one free. If she/he is destined to be yours.. your love would come back to you.

I don't think you made a mistake. I think it was a good idea to do this before things got too intimate and you ended up with a bigger heart break.
I was in a relationship where I broke it off because of religious differences. I still loved him so much and didn't want to lose him, but because that one thing, I knew it wouldn't work. At first I thought about going back to him because I missed him so much. But now I know that if it's supposed to be, he'll come to me.
This guy probably wasn't the ONE for you. Don't regret your decision. Your mind is going to always say something different from your heart, but always listen to your mind because your heart will deceive.
