Well, waiting is part of love. If you truly love that person no matter how long it takes you will surely wait. But when you wait there's a lot of "what if's" you will encounter. What if He doesn't really love me, What if I am waiting for nothing, What if I am waiting for someone who loves someone else and many more. Only the strong one succeed.

Yes it is okay to wait with a man if you know that it will worth the wait..If you really love that man you are willing to wait no matter how long was it takes.

I think waiting is a normal part of life, and love is not the exception to this rule. However, when you wait for something you also have an expectation of the results. In base of that ask to yourself, what are you waiting for?, are you been objective about the relationship and your expectations are realistic?, have you talked to this person or has he shown you with actions that you are important for him, and he wants you in the long term?, do you have interests in common like: living together, traveling, or staying in certain place?, do you do things together and you could tell that you have a good communication channel ?, are you prepared for a rejection in case that he changes his mind about you?, do you have a plan B, that justify the time invested in case that the relationship doesn't work out?.
Remember that a relationship is a thing of two people and you can't control your partner, so if you have decided to wait after asking yourself those questions because you are positive about it, then do it, and don’t use other relationship like a mirror because every relationship is unique and different, there are not two people equal. There are people who break up, but there are also many people who live happily and share their lives. Do what you think is best and make sure to live your own life and to be a happy person. Your boyfriend should amplify a happiness that you already have, this way you are not putting all that pressure on your man, and there's a good chance that he will want to stay because you are not an extra charge, you are a happy person and is eassy to enjoy your company.

I'm so confused there is a man told me to wait for 4 years .. and he really end up everything the connecting us. he told me to respect his decision . Its hard specially if I'm used to his existence that he always there. I'm afraid that he might forget me and we will never see each other after 4 years. it really breaking my heart.

it's okay to wait as long as you can manage waiting for him for a long time. If nothing happens then you may want to move on just focus on yourself first and don't think too much waiting for him. Maybe at the right time he will finally court you.

Hi, I couldn't help but notice your post.  Have you ever tried using some proven psychology to try and help kick-start his desire to want to move ahead with you more quickly?  I really think waiting is okay but at some point you need to get what you want too.  If adding a little psychology into the mix doesn't move things along maybe your guy just isn't in a place where he wants that kind of commitment.

There's a really great relationship expert Amy North and she always talks about things you can do to help a guy along.  You might even find this article she wrote helpful. https://attractiontheories.com/

What I understand in this discussion is for a woman to patiently wait for Mr. Right. In this modern era, I don't think that is a good attitude unless you are still young like a teenager. But for those women who are past 25, I guess you have to rethink your option. My advice is for you to socialize. Meet people particularly qualified men for your purpose. It is not flirting though but just getting to meet people. And from there on, it will come naturally if a man will be attracted to you. Of course you need to look your best so there is no reason for the man to avoid you.

That's a very nice way to put it. I guess younger people have the privilege to wait for the right one. Older people need to be more realistic with their expectations. Especially, since they're not getting any younger. You have to actively choose to find your perfect guy.

For me it depends if the man you love will give you an assurance for you to wait..but if the man still refusing you..then dont.
Don't lock your heart to a man that doesn't want to be with you.
Find a man who is seriously fighting and expressing his love for you..
Find a man who is worth waiting for...
I experienced that..but in my case..i left him broken ..but then i realized that i love him so much even he hurt me a lot when we still in a relationship..
And now i hurt him back...
I want him back so i try to court him and then he said that i still have a chance to prove myself to him.
But I need to wait he said cause i gave him so much pain.
It takes time to heal.
That is why until now im still hoping that we will be together again.
