He keeps saying he's not trying to be in a relationship right now?

[Anonymous]

This guy that I'm interested in keeps bringing up his singleness and how his daughter thinks he should get a girlfriend, but he follows up with him not wanting a relationship right now. He says these things to me totally on his own - I never bring it up. I'm wondering, does he really mean it? I don't know why he's bringing it up. Is he trying to convince himself that he doesn't want it or what? I'm sure he likes me, just don't understand his behavior. Help?

Him bringing his daughter into that conversation to me is very weird and inappropriate. I'll let you decide, but I'd be really put off by that. But I digress. I really can't explain why he is doing that, but knowing why doesn't help you here. I would just call him on it in a light hearted joking way. "Say hey, Moron I'm Dating, why do you keep talking out of both sides of your mouth about this, especially when I don't even bring it up? It's like you feel the need to talk yourself out of it out loud" ... or something to that effect.

To be honest if a guy says he doesn’t want a relationship believe him girl. It’s going to prevent you from getting hurt. That’s as simple as that and I wouldn’t give him excuses or make up scenarios in my head.

He just wants sex

😅 what makes you say that? I feel like I've missed something lol

[Danny_dan92]

I’m guessing that based on how he said he isn’t looking for a relationship.

However he could also be celibate, however that isn’t what he said… so who knows

Got it.. I should mention this man is close to 50 🥲 does that still apply? Lol

[Danny_dan92]

Holy shit lol maybe he’s just done

[Asker]

😄 well, I guess I won't know unless I open my mouth and ask

[Danny_dan92]

Unless your game plan is to eventually collect a life insurance payment.

I don’t understand why you don’t go after a man that is in his 20’s like you 😂

[Asker]

I didn't intend to like him or go after him and though his insurance policy would probably be wonderful, I could care less 😅 I have my own money. I like his company, and he feels familiar to me (and not in a dad way because I know that joke is probably coming lol)

I do like guys my own age though 😄
