One more question I am sorry
| Wed, 11-16-2005 - 11:49am |
Hi I am sorry to be posting this but I am not really sure what this means. I asked that guy that I really like how he felt about me. I said that I just wanted to know does he like me or am I just a "bed" buddy. And this is what he said "Well I do like you but I don't think I am ready to commit". I take that as a Maybe down the road kind of thing. The thing that gets me is we both have a profile on plentyoffish.com that is how we met. I know he has been getting on it a couple times a day. A couple nights ago he was on it for about 30 min and never sent me a message on yahoo chat. I finally sent him one and he told me that he had a really bad headache. Do u think he may be looking for someone else? Also I can go out on other dates too if we are not together right? Thank u for everything :)

I would not take that as a "maybe", I'd take that as a no as far as a more serious r'ship goes. He can "like" you and still just want to be sex partners (btw, you need to edit your post to take out the masked profanity; otherwise your post could be deleted).
Yes, it does sound like he wants to keep his options open.
And yes, you can date other people unless and until the two of you have a clear agreement to be exclusive.

I would also take that 'maybe' as a 'no'. If he is still looking than he's not that interested in settling down with you.
But you should definitely continue to date and not wait around for him.
I would keep seeing him ONLY if you are completely ok with accepting it's going to be a relationship that's primarily about sex and not going to turn into anything else. He wants to be with you, alright...just mostly to have sex.
My guess would be that if you tell him, he either won't care that you're seeing others or he'll get territorial and ask YOU not to see others but he will continue to keep his options open (and perhaps hide from you the fact that he's doing so).
