Yes, I just edited to basically say the same thing.

I don't care if they're not engaged or married, if you've been dating someone for a year, you should want to be with that person, want to see things together. This guy does not, and the OP should be with someone who desires to spend time and travel with her.

In this case, yes, I don't think that's what he's thinking. But I wouldn't be surprised if he was looking for something different. v

This.

That wouldn't work for me, and vice versa.

This is also what we discussed in the past. He kept reassuring me that he wants us to be together; and he said that the time when I will meet those girls will be 'at our wedding'. That totally caught me off guard... But yeah... on occasion he fails making me his priority.

My guess is that he threw that out as a smoke screen. Right now, he's having his cake and eating it too. ....so to speak. Who knows how many cakes he's eating? If he were madly in love with you, he'd want his friends to meet you, and he'd want to share special times and places with you.

Every woman I know deep down knows this, but they don't like to admit it for two reasons. They don't want to admit that men view them mainly for sexual purposes, and knowing that shows that they are basically leading the guy on if he has no chance. Girl always needs a backup in case of BF problems. I of course am referring to single women.
Absolute complete and totally BS. I have had many female friends and do not or have not ever wanted to have sex with them. Like NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!

We are not all horny dogs wanting to mate with any female that comes along. If you are, then don't assume everyone else is.

Love the 'smoke screen' expression Yikes!
Don't think he even has enough time to 'try other cakes', as he has a demanding study schedule and has me at home, but nobody says he cannot want to reassured that he is still desirable on a vacation... And even if not, people get drunk, consequences follow.
Although, I think the reason why I haven't already met the girls seems to be geographical only. I met all of his other friends that live close by...

Umm, no. That's not cool. There's no circumstance under which that would be ok with me, and I've never dated anyone who would even try it (or want to). He sounds like a douche. You should find someone who isn't a waste of time and actually enjoys your presence, wherever that may be.

OK, well, hopefully you're right, and we're wrong. But those lame and obvious excuses seem like a red flag. Maybe like you say, it's just a "flirting" vacation for him. Whatever. I still think he's not ready for the kind of serious commitment you're up for. You guys aren't on the same page. He may not be all that into commitment at all, going by that earlier incident you cited.
