Our mutual friends know about us, I’m pretty sure our exes know as well, but since he’s still dealing with a broken heart and personal growth stuff, he’s not 100% on starting a serious relationship. We’ve had conversations about it, hence the “be patient and understanding”. He’s had some recent-ish loss in his family as well. From his pov, he wants to be ready to put his all into what our relationship could be like.
