After Moldova became independent, it was not that they did not want to merge into Romania. But Russia wants to use it to contain Ukraine and western European countries. Therefore, Moldova will merge into Romania, and Russia will stop it anyway. So under such circumstances, Moldova did not choose to merge into Romania. This is mainly because Moldova's geographical location is a buffer zone between Russia and Europe.

Moldova is a landlocked country surrounded by two countries. Because it is close to the Black Sea, it is also the closest landlocked country in the world. But it wasn't like this from the beginning. It originally belonged to the coastal area, and Pissarabia made it a geographical country now. Bissalabia is actually Moldova. After the former Soviet Union annexed him, it gave his southern coastal area to Ukraine, and most of the remaining territory merged with the left-wing Ukrainian territory of Germany, finally forming Moldavia (Moldova in the Soviet era), in which the former Soviet Union also joined.

Moldova and Romania have the same ancestry, because they both belong to the descendants of Dakia. Dakia originated in northern Romania and was also a kingdom in ancient times. Later, after being conquered and ruled by the Roman Empire, the local people intermarried with the Romans, so strictly speaking, they were actually descendants of Dakia and Rome.

The reason for this complicated situation is inseparable from Moldova's geographical location and national characteristics. From the perspective of national identity, he and Romania are of the same ancestry, have the same culture and language, and have experienced similar history, so his inner sense of belonging will naturally tend to Romania. But geographically, it is actually a buffer zone between Russia and Europe. Russia can be used to contain Ukraine and deter western Europe, so it will prevent it from returning to Romania anyway.
