Texting A Summer Fling?

[mistymiss82]

If a guy I'm casually seeing for the summer texts me all day every day, how should I interpret that?

[Anonymous]

he has no life...so he need to text you every second of every day...

[Anonymous]

he wants more than a summer, maybe even a fall fling

[mistymiss82]

The thing is I'm moving away for school after the summer ends so that couldn't work. But he says that he'll visit me during the breaks because he's often in the city that I'm moving to.

I'm curious; If you were not moving, would you be interested in more than a fling with him? And even though you Are moving, do you hope that maybe you two can work out some kind of long distance relationship, or do you not think that's possible/not want anything serious like that with him?

[mistymiss82]

Well if I was here then I'd be willing to have an exclusive relationship if he asked, but I'm not a big believer in long distance relationships. A lot of the time they end in heartache. So

I think a long distance relationship is out of the question, especially because I want to be single going into university.

[Leocris]

I see. That's what I assumed your answer would be. It makes sense.

[Leocris]

Sounds like a stage 5 clinger to me...

[mistymiss82]

What do you think is making him act like that even though we both agreed on the whole casual thing?

[Leocris]

Guys and girls often agree to settle for less than they truly desire because they hope the other person might change their mind later on and want more.

They fear that, if they don't go along with what the other persons plan seems to be, they may scare them off.

It's better to get just a little of something that you want a lot of, then to risk getting none of it at all.

I hope that makes sense..

I'm not saying those are Definitely his feelings. It's also possibly he just enjoys talking to you.

[Leocris]

Or maybe he Was planning for it to be just a fling but changed his mind down the road and wanted more.

[mistymiss82]

Originally he was only planning to be friends with me, but one thing lead to another. And then we planned a casual summer fling because we both just got out of serious relationships and we weren't ready for any commitment.

he's fairly into you and/or he's a texting addict
