No, I don't think he's breaking it off because he has feelings for me. We both knew that whatever we started this summer had to end in August. Or did he think I forgot and just felt like breaking it off nicely?

I just want to understand why he said/asked what he did. I expected to wake up, say goodbye, and leave. (I didn't want to get emotionally involved by talking about feelings.) Instead I hear about how he "likes me," and how he's wondering if I like him, and how I should date. I'm confused. I simply want to know where it all came from.
According to your post, he said goodbye and then started to talk about the other stuff. That is called "letting you down easy"
If all you wanted was sex, why all the questions here? It doesn't really matter, does it?

Keep it moving. He will not be the last guy to do that......

If you didn't want the attention, you wouldn't be making a post on a message board about it would you. You like the attention, and you got some *** out of it as well.

Its simple.

Blondiel, I slept with him for sex not attention. In the beginning, it was all about the attention and the possibility of sex.

Why all the questions? Maybe my ego's bruised? Why the need to "let me down easy?" Did he think I was in love with him this whole time?

I was playing a game with him. I wasn't being my usual open, honest, trusting, vulnerable self because I knew this wasn't going anywhere and I didn't want to get emotionally involved. I was secretive and enjoyed keeping him guessing. He would always say that he could tell I was "nice" and "sweet" though and ask if I liked him! I never answered him.

Move on. No one can figure out what goes on in men's heads...sometimes they don't even know what is going on with themselves. Don't try to figure it out. Don't blame yourself. You made a choice, you did it...no big deal.

The same can be said of women, too.

it sounds to me like his actions did exactly what he wanted, it piqued your interests. so long as you are willing to give him some, he'll take it. maybe he'll move on, maybe he'll try to have an actual relationship, that is not for us to tell you.

if you think they guy is going to start pursuing you, don't answer his calls or texts except 1 more time. that time you need to say, we had sex and now i want nothing further from you. please don't contact me again.

Only we know what went on in his head. He wanted sex, he made it crystal clear, she gave it to him, and that was that. Quite simple actually.

I think it's nice and honest of people to spell things out up-front - a lot less potential heartache. The problems occur when women go along with it thinking they can change the situation into something else.

Help for what? You said that you wanted the attention and then sex. You got both. Why are you even worrying about this? It's pointless, especially after you posted that you both knew it had to end in August. August is essentially over. Keep it moving just like your "summer fling" has kept it moving.
