I just thought I was more than a booty call, because we dont have sex constantly, as i have with previous booty calls. We do other things such as walk around detroit, go to baseball games, go to dinner, go to the movies, go to the bar, etc... Thats what made this all so confusing to me!
I can see why you're confused, but really, it doesn't sound like he wants a relationship. The nekked pics of his ex on his phone just confirm that he's not exclusive. I think the jealousy id weird, but rather than try and guess, I'd be asking him wtf that was all about.


If you're confused (and I actually do understand why you are) you need to tell him. Ask him how he sees you guys. Don't come to him upset or pissed, but with a genuine desire to get to the bottom of what's bugging you. Don't expect to hear what you want to hear, but be open to what he's saying. Have an adult conversation, and you will likely understand this better.

You're welcome!

Life is short. Spare your sanity by talking with folks directly instead of assuming or being paranoid. I'm just now learning this if you wanna know the truth lol.

Oh please don't do this at Thanksgiving w/ your family. Bad idea. Try it on much more neutral ground. I'd feel waaaay uncomfortable in that situation if I were him. Another day, another place. Not a family get together. I'm thinking a day at the park or similar situation. Somewhere much more relaxed for the two of you.

/edit BTW good luck and you're welcome!

You're brain is nothing, your head is spinning from love and bullshit. The guy just wants to get it in you, that's all. The words and phrases he uses are just symbols that you have learned to understand to reinforce the lie. It's all different ways of saying the same thing. You're no different. You pick the lie that you feel the least uncomfortable with and go with it. Don't you see that you lie to yourself every time you think that he loves you?

I think the guy has been completely honest. "I don't want to have a relationship (be committed to one person)." So, he talks to other girls and has some other girls in play on his phone. He is not being respectful to you as a lady which is the most disturbing part of his behavior, but he IS being honest. The only question you need to ask yourself is what do you want? Answer that and act on that.

I want to add to this, but feel free to ignore at your own risk. I know a few serial daters, guys with a different girl for every day of the week... they all operate under the following idea: They think they have this mutual agreement with all the girls where they know they are not committed, but they also avoid mentioning the others to each other because they know how much of a sore spot it is if it ever gets brought up. If you don't want to be someone's flavor of the week, then you should probably stand up for yourself.

I disagree with "the talk". It's very likely that you'll either end up pissed and upset, or he'll say just enough to soothe you for now, but keep on without a real relationship.

He likes you. He likes hanging out with you. He especially likes being the only one fucking you. But seriously, when a man says he's not looking for a relationship, believe him until he says *and* shows otherwise. He'll take all the easy "relationship-y" things you provide, and he'll feel like he's being straight because, after all, he *told* you he wasn't in it for a relationship. It's not his fault that you read into the hanging out, enjoying time together and fucking as a relationship.

My opinion is that you really have just two choices, accept the status quo, or tell him calmly that you *are* looking for a relationship and you don't want to waste any more time or emotional energy with this situation. This is called a boundary. Boundaries are good things. It means you know what you want and more importantly, it means that you are *not* going to settle for less. If you can maturely state your boundary without criticizing his choices or making ultimatums and then *enforce* that boundary, you are lightyears ahead of your peers.
