Seeing each other, but he doesn't want a relationship?

I have been seeing this guy for almost four months now. We have hung out all weekend every weekend since we first met. We go on nice dates and talk all the time. On Valentines day I made a joke being like 'what am I dating?' and he goes 'we aren't dating you haven't asked me out yet.' and I go 'you don't want to be my boyfriend' and he goes I do, and I go 'no you don't'. He then asks me to go out with him. Two days later on friday, we were messing, and I say 'you can't do that I am your girlfriend now' and he says 'it doesn't count if you make someone ask you out'. Naturally I got pissed off as I feel I didn't make him. Then later that night we come to the conclusion that we are bf/gf but I feel he was just saying that to appease me. I feel like he might not take it very seriously. He kept saying he didn't want things to change, and what difference is the label going to make to how we act now, he also finds getting into a relationship daunting. We then setlled on the idea that it is official. Yet again though I feel like it is to appease me. Side Note: He freaks out when I look into his FB, he clicks out immediately. I called him out on that, he said it was just because his ex used to go mad at stuff on his fb, it is just out of habit. He said he would stop. He is hardly hiding something is he?
The guy sounds reluctant to commit to you.
My question is though, why do you want to be with someone so badly when they are so lacking in enthusiasm about being with you?

You can do better than this.

I truncated the rest of your statement as the most important part appears above. Also, I agree with Feastful (thus +1-ing them).

As a bloke, the one you mention simply doesn't want to be in a relationship. Full stop. And it's ok. Honestly, there's nothing wrong with his intentions or desires. Just as there's nothing wrong with you wanting something more. People clique, but they don't always match and THAT'S OK.

Hate to say this without appearing to have little care, but I challenge you to move forward without him. As a bloke, it'll hurt him a bit but he'll survive. As for you, you'll do the same. You're strong enough, even if you don't think it's possible.

If you experience challenges along the way, let me know. We'll work though this. I promise.
Thank you. Even though he has agreed that we are now in a relationship and are bf/gf do you think he just said that to make me happy?

I feel like that is the case, and he said it wasn't. Maybe he just wants to string me along until something better comes along.

Congratulations, you're dating. Don't make it a big deal, just get on with life. It's nothing but a label.

What he says counts for didly squat. It's what he does that matters.

If he acts like you're in a relationship then you are in a relationship.
If he doesn't, then you aren't.


From your description it sounds like you'd be happier with someone more mature than him.
