I recently met a man who I am starting to date... right off the bat he told me that he doesn't want a girlfriend... what do I do?

If you are looking for a relationship he isn't the person for you. You need to look elsewhere. This fellow has issues and you can't change his past.

Do u want a boyfriend?

Yeah... he wants to hang out and listen to music and stuff... but isn't looking for a girlfriend... he isn't in a place in his life for one... just wasting my time... I guess

You can't make him want a girlfriend, so why not be good friends with him?
Before you'll know it, he'll probably change he's mind and he'll want a girlfriend just like you!

But if you want a boyfriend right now, you're probably wasting your time with him...

You are not wasting your time if you can keep a friend. You are wasting both his and your time if you want him for the boyfriend and he has clearly told you that he is not going there. I would prefer a good friend than a lousy boyfriend anyday.

Does he say he wants a long term companionship? If he does mention he doesn't mind long term relationship that would end up in spending rest of your life together than you may have a chance, but if he constantly tells you he doesn't want anything long term, than you are just being used.
