    Fling has been flung?
    I'll try to keep this brief, but it's been a year, so here goes...
    I met this guy just over a year ago at a brewfest. I was superdrunk and kissed him. He called me a mess of times afterwards and we ended up meeting up. The first -- only -- time ever, I had sex on the first date. (I'm 34.) I saw him twice after that and then he blew me off. But after a few weeks he started calling again, and I liked his persistence and I did like spending time with him, so after a while I started taking his calls and we started seeing each other again, just a few times a month. In February it heated up to most weekends, even 2 or 3 times a weekend. I've met his friends, but he doesn't seem interested in mine. We've never been out on a date, although he doesn't like to go out much so I don't take it that personally. I just feel sad that he doesn't seem to want to know me any better than he does, my friends, my family, my interests, my job. We have nothing in common -- it's totally opposites attract on the surface. I'm surprised it's lasted this long. But since it has, and he really seems to like me, I feel like I should ask him why he doesn't care, why he didn't get me anything for my birthday last week, why he doesn't want to know any more about me. If it was just sex, couldn't he just be having sex with anyone? (He's very good looking.) He's 25. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated because I feel a nagging feeling that I should just call it off.
    PS I've been dating other guys this whole time, just first dates, boring guys. He says he hasn't seen anyone since November and seems either disinterested or jealous at different times about my dating. I wish we were in a category thenn I'd know what to do with it!

    He's playing you and using you as a total booty call... he just wants you for the SEX!! stop giving it to him and see what happens... he doesn't want to take interest in your friends because he doesn't want to get closer to you... hes showing you off to his friends because he's flauntin it in front of them heh look guys this is the girl that gives it up to me anytime I want it... he doesn't see you as wifey material just someone he can have a good time with and get off on... dump the loser... do you really want to be with someone who shows no interest in you

    And to go back to your comment yeah he could get sex anywhere but hed have to work for it and its not a given... why would he want to get it anywhere else when he knows he can get it from you no questions asked...

    Tough to call it off
    Thanks, you're totally right. I don't want to be his wife, anyway. I just felt like it was a fling and I don't know how to proceed now that it's gone this long. Suddenly I'm realizing I do want more. I guess I need to figure out if I just want to use him for sex too, or if I want to try for more, or just abandon the whole deal. It's hard to let go of an easy comfortable thing, and I do like him. What should I do if I decide I want him to step up?

    Yes - you are 'Friend with benefits' - that's why you do not F on the first date if you want more.

    He has no reason to take you out. You give him what he wants. He's young and NOT serious about dating.

    My advice is to move on and find some one closer to your age - he may see you - but he pines away for the 21 yeat old blonde he can't get.

    Defintely cut him off and see what happens if you want more. Stop returning his calls for a while and see what he says.
