Confusion

I'm as confused as ever. I got an e-mail from the man I love saying I shouldn't have to wait for him because his life is insecure right now and very uncertain... saying we should be friends.

Am I too much of a girl if this says to me "yes, I should wait"? Especially when a man tells me that I'm a good woman and I deserve better. Would a lesser man say that? I don't know. Is it a line to keep me "on the line" as suggested by someone else I know? I don't know.

I'm just trying to pray for strength and wisdom.. maybe some discernment. Its hard for me to see this objectively.
