Is this guy wanting a serious relationship with me?
Ok it's a long story but 9 months ago I was working with this guy and we met and liked each other from day one. It was very evident that he liked me and we flirted with each other for 3 months before I just couldn't stand waiting any longer and decided to give him my number. We texted and started to get to know each other and we both agreed that we should def. hang out. Well, it just never happened. He bailed every time and it was always that he had too much homework because he's in college and graduating next month. And he also works. So anyway, we continued to text for awhile and I continued to be very frustrated that we never hung out. Well, I lost my job there and we lost contact... actually we had already stopped talking and so I texted him and told him what happened and said if you want to stay in contact great, otherwise it was great knowing you. Well, I never heard from him until a couple months later when he started texting me again and we started talking again and he brought up hanging out. So I went OK, here we go again. Well, that didn't last long and it was the same story again. Apprarently he got distracted and almost screwed things up at school. Well he basically said to me, you're a really cool girl, but you're just too much of a distraction and I'm trying to finish up school and go to Europe and I just can't talk to you right now. Maybe we can be friends in the future. So, I let it go. And I moved on. Well, one week ago he contacted me again and this guy totally changed!! Took a total 180. I guess he went away to Europe, had a lot of time to think and he actually thought about me and when he got home, he had a whole new attitude, he had this confidence and so he talked to close friends of his and his older sister and aparently they were all like go for it. And he said he was just like dang what is wrong with me, I'm so stupid, this beautiful girl cares about me and I'm just like pushing her away. So he contacted me again and he actually got work off that night so that he could take me out on a date. He apologized and said that he was just really stressed and was being stupid. We totally hit it off... he's been so affectionate towards me and so into me. He's shared so many things with me about how he feels and it's quite clear this guy is very much into me. However, he is still finishing school and has an insane amount of homework and he works therefore that doesn't leave a lot of time for us to hang out right now. He also can't call or text me much. And here is what he has told me. He wants to take it slow for now, keep it casual and wait on sex. He told me that he just has a lot on his plate right now and if he lets himself go too far, he won't be able to focus on school and all he'll be able to think about is me. He also doesn't want sex to ruin what we have so far. What I want to know is, does it seem like this guy is truly interested in a serious relationship? Why is he wanting to take it slow? Should I be concerned? Is it just because of school? And what do you think about him coming back? He's made efforts to see me even when he was really tired.. he told me he wants to see me as much as possible... he tells me I'm beautiful and cute all the time... and he said to me the other day that if we want to make anything out of this, we should take it slow. He said he isn't having 2nd thoughts, just has a lot on his plate.
Sorry this is so long, but any help is appreciated... feel free to ask me questions to better understand the situation. Thank you.
