low expectations, or no expectations

which would u prefer from a man? both are quite disappointing, but it seems to be what i'm facing right now. prince said that he's been thinking a lot about us, our relationship, what's best for us, and i've finally gotten him to consider me and my feelings. he's finally starting to realize how his actions have affected me, and he said he doesn't want me to hate him 3 months from now. because then our relationship really wont go anywhere. i just feel like he realizes that i'm a good catch, but i'd be doing him a BIG favor if i just sat dusty on the shelf until he was ready in his life to come find me and dust me off. that's not going to happen. he still claims that my talking to JJ doesn't bother him but he brought it up soooo many times that i still think otherwise.

i'm just tired. for the last six years i haven't been with anyone consistently. a month or two here, a couple weeks there and i'm sick of it. i want a boyfriend, and prince should be it, but i wouldn't even set myself up for that drama. i want to just wash my hands of it all, because my life would be so much easier if i could put him behind me. he asked me if he's ever made me cry, and he has 3 times. but i only told him of one time when we had a really late convo that didn't end well and i decided for the umpteenth time that i was done. truth be told, he made me cry last night when he made up some bs excuse about not being able to call me. i want it to be done, but i also want it to work. sigh...
