The Situation

"He carries the ring but says the timing isn't right for months"

He has a ring and yet stalls for months, which indicates he's unsure, possibly stringing you along without genuine commitment. He's avoiding taking responsibility and might not view the relationship as serious.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)
