He said he's afraid of getting hurt in a relationship. Is this just his way of saying he's not that into me?

I've been seeing this guy, Mike for about 6 months now. We arent really dating as we originally decided to take it slow and casual. However I have really started to like him, and so I asked him if he still felt the same way as in the beginning, and he said that he likes me and enjoys spending time with me but hes afraid of getting into a relationship because he doesnt want to get hurt. Is this just his way of saying he's not that into me? Should I move on, or just give him space and see if he comes around?

Thankyou so much, your answer was very helpful. When I originally talked to him I told him I wanted more from it, and was prepared to move on because I didnt want to get in futhur than he did. He said that he was afraid of getting hurt, and that he didnt know what was wrong with him, but he asked me not to give up on him yet. So Ive been giving him space for the last few weeks time to think...and he started calling me more, but then when I saw him I didnt notice any huge differences. Im thinking its time to tell him that I will move on....as hard as that will be, its only gonna get harder, as Im getting more attached to him by the day.

brooke5426 agony auntits difficult to say because it could be either option. only he knows what he's feeling. but i would say that after 6 months if his feelings were going to go there and if he was going to really like you, i think they would be there now. just like your feelings for him have developed. i would probably say that if they havent developed by now its probably a convenience thing.

tell him you like him and you like what has been going on with you and him but you feel like you want something a little bit more exclusive with someone now and your not up for something thats not going anywhere anymore. that should give you your answer because if he really does like you but doesnt want to get hurt he wont let you go. because obviously that would hurt him! and if he tells you the same thing again and still says he's afraid of getting into a relationship then i think you should cut your losses and move on because it wont go anywhere with him and the deeper your feelings for him become, the harder it will be to walk away.

good luck
