The [b]Guest[/b] who posted advice gave you a great guy’s perspective on dating! What I’d like to add is that at 18 years old, and a freshman at college, he’s probably all over the place emotionally and that’s what you’re experiencing. While he seems like a genuinely nice guy, he can’t give you the commitment you want because he doesn’t really want a commitment. He’s experiment with relationships, lots of women, sex — and while he likes you, you want a relationship and he wants an adventure with a beginning, a middle and an end.
My advice is not to contact him, but instead, look for other guys who are more interested in the kind of relationship you are interested in. If he finds you again, the harder you are to get, the harder he will try to get you, but you’ll have to decide at that time if you’re willing to be part of the adventure he’s offering, or if you’re holding out for something a little more intimate.
I hope that helps. Let me know how it goes — and please follow me @AskAprilcom on Twitter and on Facebook at this link: [url][/url].
