Dear Cupid,

I recently started seeing this guy and he's been really sweet but I'm afraid I'm reading into things far too much. I'm pretty sure he cares about me to some extent since he's been there for me through some tough ordeals, and his attitude hasn't changed much even though we've had sex. We've discussed the possibility of committing to an actual relationship but he says he'd rather take it slow. This to me sounds like he's saying "I want to keep my options open" but then he talks about us being married and having kids on a regular basis (almost every time we're together). I'm fairly certain he's joking but he never really says that he is. If he does joke about it that often is he thinking THAT far ahead?!?! While I'm not thinking that far ahead myself, I really do like this guy and I'm afraid I'll start falling for him based on sweet nothings. I'm afraid to call him on it for the simple reason that I don't want to make our "relationship" awkward so I'm at a COMPLETE loss. Anybody have any ideas, or have experienced similar situations?

Signed,

Dazed and Confused

P.s.: Am I overreacting if he used to text me all the time and just be busy since his behavior when we're together is no different but all the same it worries me. Maybe my insecurities are getting the best of me since sometimes when we're together he gets text messages at 4:30AM. I have no reason to think he's wronged me but I've had some HORRIBLE experiences in past relationships...

HELPPP!!!!!

He gets sex without committing = he won't commit.
