I am seeing someone I like and want to continue seeing, but I don't want a relationship and he does. I'm wondering if I should stop seeing him before feelings get hurt.

Even if I've told him I don't want a relationship and he says he wants to continue seeing me?

You mean like you just can't help it?

Yes, even if.

It's possible he's hoping you'll change your mind about being in a relationship with him down the road.

Yes. You're jerking him around. Cut it out.

Then that's his problem. He's the one that knows the deal and continues to pursue more than FWB's. The ball should be in his court to walk away if he's not happy with the current arrangement.

Pretty pointless when the end goals for doing what you want don't meet one another.

Just find another dude and save everyone the future hassles of dealing with the nonsense that comes from putting yourself over another.

Yes you have to stop it now otherwise it will only cause arguments sooner rather than later and he'll get hurt.

Have you told him you're not interested in anything serious i.e. Does he know your stance?

Yes he knows my stance. I've told him there's no chance my mind will change but that doesn't seem to be taken seriously or accepted.
