i have to say thanks to the people here who gave me advice on things relating to dating. i recently realized i do not want to pursue anything serious for awhile. why? well, starting sept 17 i go back to class 3x a week late at a night with an exhausting commute, and i have my internship m-f from 8-2. the free time i get is spent in isolation (i am around people so much, that i need my weekends alone) and on school related things.

anyway, bad timing. remember that party i went to with that "friend"? i met someone. we went out and had a good time. he is a bit older than me (7 years) and seems to be wanting to settle down. i hear from him almost daily and within an hour of our first date, he asked me out for the next day.

anyway, i have REGULARLY said i plan to leave the area in june and that i am so busy and dont have much time for someone.

he still though wants to see me throughout the week and contacts me regularly!

now is he only still interested because he thinks he can get sex out of this, or is he hoping he can change my mind if this gets serious?

somehow the more i drop that i dont plan on sticking around the west coast after june, the more interested he gets

Not sure if he's thought into the future but it looks like a win-win! Have a good time.

Maybe he's just decided he'd still like to pursue something with you, even if he knows it won't last. Sometimes, the short-term relationships are the most fun. And I'm not just referring to the sex.

You should probably ask him, not us.

But it could be that he just wants sex. It could be that just likes you, wants to hang out with you as long as you're around, regardless of the duration.

Or, who knows, he may just be an idiot who can't seem to put the pieces together. I call these people "bad decision makers."

Maybe he is hoping for a "special" goodbye gift before you leave. And I aint talking about a commemorative menorrah!

Of course he is interested...
a. its a game and you just upped the chase
b. no worries of tomorrow if you are leaving


But who cares what he wants...What do you want?

that line right there says to me he might be looking for something quick and easy, no strings no future, because you're leaving town. sort of like a fling with someone who is not available for anything more.
