It's new territory for him so any attempts to get serious with him will probably sending him running for the hills leaving skid marks. He;s not up for a relationship just yet so at the moment he is 'just friends/nothing serious' material. Agree with the reply that says 'don't get too attached'. He's making it very clear he isn't ready for anything serious right now. x

 He just wants to keep any relationships on a non-committed basis; he's not ready for a new girlfriend yet. It usually takes some time to get over a breakup. He's being honest about where he is, that is a very good thing!

 For you it means he is not relationship material at this time. If you want to date him and have fun with him, ok but he's not boyfriend material. So don't get too attached.

reader, anonymous, writes (9 March 2008): Hi i am female and recently came out of a 5 yr relationship which has left me feeling a bit wobbly! I recently said to a guy that i was 'just dipping the corner of my little toe into the edge of the water'! and when i said that, i meant that i was very slowly cautiously inching my way back into male company/flirting but it will take a while before i want to get into another relationship, so for now i'm just trying to get over my ex, whilst getting to know other men slowly. I'm not ready for another serious relationship yet. I'm quite nervous about the thought of going out with other men and very nervous indeed about the thought of sleeping with someone else - i'm open to the idea but not fully ready so am taking it at my own pace - keeping it light and going with the flow til it feels like i am ready. I presume he meant something similar, ie he is not ready for another relationship yet so is taking his time slowly getting used to being single and being on the singles scene again. Sounds like he is being sensible. Hope this is some help xx
