Guys have been in my life for a few years. I have asked him if he wants to be in a relationship before, but he said that he wants to focus on his career. Recently I told him that I need to move on and cannot see him anymore. Now suddenly he wants a relationship. He is now good at texting, at telling me he is serious, telling me that he cares, making time for me.



Has anyone been in this situation before? Is there anything that I should watch for?



Any idea is welcome.

I have been the guy in that relationship and acted the exact same way. I didn't pay attention to my gf at the time and she always wanted more. I honestly was not ready for a serious relationship at the time. We gave it a go for a while but it ended up not working out. She wanted something I was not ready to give. If we had continued on we both would of eventually been disappointed.

If you decide to give it a go with this guy, be VERY aware of whether he reverts back to his prior behaviors with you. What I am saying is that he may well bring it on heavy now and be extra attentive to you, but, once he lands you, he may go back to his usual ways (because he has you.) If he does, walk and walk fast because he will not change.

There's always the other side of the coin. He didn't want to make a commitment, if he didn't have to. Old adage of why buy the cow, if you get the milf (sic) for free?
You told him to put up, or shut up. He realized what a wonderful, beautiful, phenomenal LADY you are, and couldn't bear living without you, so he changed his errant ways. He didn't want to lose you, so to keep you, he knew that you were serious about leaving, therefore, his Playa Dayz is ova.

Nah. I’d hold the door though.

Yep. Either move on or put the guy on double-secret probation.

It's so much better and less risky to be with a guy who actually wants a relationship. They are many who want it. I'd cut my losses with this one. The chances are too high that it's a ruse and he will waste more of your time.
