I am in the same boat. Except I have many suitors after me and I keep hearing comments from them like, "How come you won't give me the time of day?" "How come you don't like me?" or I'll hear from another, "You don't know a good man."

I don't trust men and I honestly think that being with someone that does not want a relationship keeps me from committing although I want him to commit to me. Sometimes I like him and sometimes I don't. I date other men and I know if I decide to be with one of those suitors who is really into me, it will be a permanent thing.

So I'm not sure why I continue to deal with a person who does not want to be in a relationship. He's recently divorced after 20rs of marriage.

Its just that I know when I'm through, I am through and yes like someone said earlier they always try to come back, but after trying for so long its no longer of interest to me when that time comes.

I wish there was an easy way to say this, but yes, he is using you. If I were you I would just drop him and move on. You're young, there will be more guys to kiss and make out with, no worries!

If you really want to play hard to get, then it's fairly simple - never contact him first again. If he calls, don't answer and call him back hours later. Don't tell him that you did "nothing" all day..in fact tell him nothing, pull away. Don't be "available" whenever he wants you to be. If he asks you to get together on Monday, tell him you're not free until Thursday. And if he can't do it that day, all well. In the end you may not actually be "playing" hard to get as much as you'll have grown some confidence and suddenly will have other guys interested in you and then you can REALLY walk away from this loser!! (sorry, I don't like guys like this - been there done that - I'm 31 and I always leave him guessing and confused...that's why they keep coming back...and why I move on cause I end up getting bored of them!)

Guys are known for using women to get sex, and that's what he is doing with you.....find yourself a man that cares about you, it feels good that way. The way you have it now only makes you hurt and damages your self esteem.

Torianne agony auntI'm sorry, he wants all the benefits of a relationship without having the responsibility for it.

You need to realise that although you so obviously have feelings for this man, you need to have self respect for yourself. No one deserves to be another mans plaything. You deserve someone who can give themselves to you and you alone.

If he said he doesn't have "those kinds of feelings" for you when it comes to a relationship, then you really should let him go. Why are you afraid of losing him when you don't even have him? Girlie, you need to boost your self esteem. There are actually nice guys out there that won't use you and will want to have a relationship. From what you said, he does appear to be using you. However, you haven't had sex I'm guessing so I'm not sure what he's really using you for besides a makeout buddy? Besides that, just because you talk about having sex doesn't mean he wants a relationship with you either. And don't think that just because you have sex with him, that will make him like you. You really should go out with your girlfriends, have fun, and meet other guys. Ditch the user.
