Shouldn't the healthy goal just to be the one?

Being the one that got away sounds a lot more like a childish yet evil game. It implies first being the one and then after achieving that going away. I wouldn't want to touch that with a ten foot pole.

The thing about 500 Days of Summer is that Summer actually got engaged pretty soon after she and Tom broke it off for good. It wasn't that she wasn't ready for a relationship...she just didn't want one with HIM.

Thanks for your advice guys.

He invited me over to his place for the weekend. I'm gonna say yes, but I'm considering it our last time together and tell him that at some point in the weekend.

It'll be incredibly painful, and you don't know the guy, but I honestly think he's focusing on his career (he had 2 long term relationships in the past where he told me he never put himself as priority and is now trying do to so). He's not an ******* by any means, I just think we met at the wrong time, unfortunately. Even if he dated someone "better than me," he'll probably do the same he did to me.

Me thinks he has another side chick

If you were all that much to him he would be asking you if you could be patient about his busy schedule not telling you to go ahead and find somebody else if you want and if he loses out, Oh well.

He never told me that, I suggested it and that was his response because he didn't want to put any rules.

We're both guys, btw.
And no, he seriously travels all the time to different states for work and is super busy. The actual free time he has, he makes serious effort to see me. I know he hooks up when he's away (and I hook up too), but I know for a fact he doesn't have time to date anybody else. When he's here, we see each other all the time.

Which *could* mean *he has other women who he does not want rules with either*.
He does not want a commitment with you and his words and actions that you have written are very clear in this respect to everyone but you.
