Uh oh, scared him off??

If I got that message, I'd be saying to myself, wtf...is she nuts?
Seriously, things are going quite smoothly, no signs of her being an axe murderer, or clingy/desperate psycho....looking good.
Then all of a sudden a text message demanding I state my intentions, plans for the future, level of commitment.

Now if we were having a conversation, preferably in person but at least a live phone conversation, and she says she'd like to know how I feel about her, about us, then it would be normal maybe even expected, at this point.
But that text message, out of the blue, would make me wonder what the hell was going on? Make me wonder who the hell she thinks she is, to demand my declaration of intentions this early in the relationship? What's the Rush...what is she not telling me?

OK, it's your modus operandi...blunt, to the point, say what you think. That's fine for people that know you pretty well, but for a noob, especially one that might have romantic intentions, it's got to shake him a little.

Tell him you now realize you blindsided him, and talk it out. But don't push him into a corner where he has to make a decision he's not ready to make, yet. He now knows, you would like him to clarify, so he should have no problem broaching the subject when he's ready. If he takes too long or seems to be stalling, you have the option of walking away, at that point.

I'm curious, he's in the military and "may be relocating here next year". Getting out of the military? How long will he be in the area before he has to report back?
