I'm dating a guy for a month and a half and we really like each other. We met through doing business so we've really known each other for over 3 months. He's met my friends, and I've met his friends through different social activities. We have not had sex yet, nor has he pressured me to; we've just made out. He seems genuine and trustworthy, although I must admit I cannot completely read him even though he mentioned he doesn't like playing games, and usually dates women older than him. He told me on our 3rd date that he has been divorced, and he has had a long term relationship after that as well. Ironically, him and I both broke up with our exes around the same time and started dating each other shortly after. I want to ask him about the details but I'm not sure if the 6th date is too soon. I am younger than him. He's in his low 30s and I'm in my late 20s. He's very romantic and he seems to know all the right things to do affectionately, for example, holding my hand, brushing my hair off my face, looking into my eyes. I'm trying to figure out if I'm just his rebound or if he genuinely likes me. He also is moving to another city for work that's 6 hours driving distance, and he mentioned to not be a stranger. I told him I'm a bit bummed because we just met each other, but he said that doesn't mean we can't keep in touch. What is this supposed to translate to? If he really likes me wouldn't he ask me if we can continue dating? Since we've both just gotten out of relationships, I'm just wondering if he's as careful as me in terms of showing our cards.

I can only speak as a guy who has been in similar situations, but if a situation presents itself where he is moving to, there is no reason why he would not act on that - You have to use your own gut feeling and make the best/right decision that is best for you whether it is for short-term or long-term, depending on how you would like to continue with your life situation.

You may want to wait till a 'situation' presents itself where you are living and wait it out for the best outcome for your long-term plans and goals.
