There could be a few things here:

-He actually does like you, but for some reason, he is hesitant with going forward with serious commitment. This could be due to numerous reasons. He might have assets and is scared of you just being out for money. He might have just an overall fear of you losing interest, cheating, etc.. Since it doesn't sound like you had a really serious relationship, he might have hidden the fact that he has a previous divorce or something else big in his past that is likely on the level of something that needs to be shared. I disagree about men retreating when feelings are involved because they only see things as casual. It is very possible today that many men are very hesitant of marriage, and for most people, getting serious is the next step towards a legal marriage.

-It is possible he just wants sex, wants companionship on a more casual level.

OP, you're not going to "make" anyone fall in love with you. It just doesn't work like that. There are no magic little tricks or perfect words.

To keep working on becoming the person you want to become is really the only way forward.

Sex leads to love for men. You have to get their attention first, however.
No.

There are two quotes that seem apropos to this situation:


"If thou wouldst be loved, be lovable."
"Who buys a cow when the milk is free?"


Next!

The two posts are in perfect synchronicity. Biology causes changes in women that attracts men by causing changes in the female body. In very general terms, breast enlarges, hips widen etc.

Now you Coconut, are attracted to those women in the shape as before that process starts.

Yes, it would make me a little uncomfortable to have you around my young females.


As for the ladies above who are offended by this scientific fact, I would point out that the girls are not biologically driven to have small breast and manly stance, nor to spout feminist dogma or challenge their male colleagues to feats of ego as Nature's pathway to reproduction, biology's most powerful force.
WUT! Lmao

So, if a woman that's 29 and still has a body of 14yo (no hips and flat chested) and I'm attracted to her, I'm a pedophile. Yeah okay, I'm a pedophile and dont let me around your harem of young females.

Good advice. Take care of youself, first and and always protect yourself. Go to school or do something like get a second job. I take it you're young. True love isn't so important at this time in your life IMO.

UPDATE:

I professed my feelings for him and asked if there was any chance at a romantic thing...

HE REJECTED ME YET AGAIN.

You all were right, it was just sex for him and as good as it was, it didn't mean any feelings were involved. Ah, men.

But I'm moving on. I'll follow the path of least resistance. I now know I can't force anything.

Thanks for all the advice and your thoughts.

At least he was honest with you. That old quote about ,"When people tell you who they are, believe them..." is true.

You can't.

It depends on the guy as well. I might sound like an ass here, but I don't find most people intellectually stimulating. Without that specific spark, most women don't make much of an romantic impression on me.

But that's just me.. Other men can fall for women fast, others don't..
