Why would he date me and hold hands, hold me, and that kind of thing if he didn't want a relationship?

Question - (25 June 2012) 3 Answers - (Newest, 27 June 2012)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Met this guy online through a dating site. We chatted for a few weeks and then decided to meet up after we texted each other for a while. Things were going good, we connected very well, laughed a lot, etc. But here's the thing, he said very early on he wasn't ready for a relationship. We've gotten into a argument about it once before and then we cooled off and talked again and everything went back to how it was before. But here's the thing, if he didn't want a relationship why would he take me out on lots of dates, hold my hand in public, hold me, tell me he really likes me and wants to see where it goes, but then say he doesn't want to hurt me and cut off communication? I finally told him we shouldn't talk anymore cause I felt like a yo-yo and I didn't want to get hurt. Now I'm thinking, did I make a mistake with cutting off communication?

Thanks @so_very_confused & immportalprincess. You both are right! I still miss him but there's been NC since I last texted him. But I'm starting to get over him little by little. :)

So_Very_Confused agony auntI'm thinking he went on a dating site to find some quick and easy sex. Many men will SAY they want a relationship when they really just want sex with a known person (same person over and over without paying it's FWB)

but they will give the "girlfriend" experience to reel you in.

I'm betting he either wanted a relationship and scared himself or he didn't want a relationship and pretended he did to get sex.

Best Advice... either way he's not good relationship material.

ImmortalPrincess agony auntI can't imagine why anyone would want to go on a dating site if they weren't looking for a relationship.

You did the right thing. He can't decide what he wants, and you don't want to be led on, only to be constantly let down. Move on, there are plenty of other men out there who do want to be in a relationship.
