Search Results: my girlfriend likes another guy and left me

I have been dating this guy for a few weeks now and during our third date he told me he lied about his age on his online profile and to me in person as well. I was pretty upset because I really liked him a lot, and I know he is extremely into me as well, which is why he told me the truth.

Because I was pretty upset, I went back to dating other guys. I went on one date, just to realize how much I actually really liked the other guy and that I was ready to forgive. We met, made up, and I told him about my date. Surprisingly he said that freedom is by far the most important thing for him in a relationship, and that since we are not committed to each other, I am free to do whatever I want. He added that he has 0 desire to date other girls because he thinks I am just simply one of the most wonderful things that has happened to him for a long time.

Some background info: both of his ex girlfriends (>4 years) cheated on him for very long periods of time and it left him heartbroken. He said he's afraid of his feelings for me.

Summary: he is a very romantic guy who says he likes me, but does not care if I go on dates with other guys because 'freedom matters to him' and 'we are not committed to one another'. Does he even like me at all?

I've only been in that situation once when j was younger, and at the time the guy i was seeing im pretty sure only left his girlfriend because he was starting to get jealous and uncomfortable about the idea of me being free to do whatever i wanted when we werent together. So it was purely motivated by anxiety or wanting to lay claim on me or something along those lines. Needlesstosay that didn't work out

What were your motivations? Or what have you seen to be common motivations by buddies youve had who've decided to switch out the main chick for his side chick?
