what are his motives?

Ages a go i went out with my next door neighbour who last year moved away cause of family problems, he didnt move too far but we havent been as close and plus it was a messy break up. well he texts every so often to see how i am etc. and always asks how my love life it etc. so today i have a text and he asked me the usual so i asked how his relationship was going when he informed me he has finished with her and wants to know if i want to meet up, i really dont know what to do. he has always said what we had was great and has on a number of occasions asked for a "bit of fun" but i have always said no. thing is i have agreed to meet up with him tomorrow and im worried about his motives. what do you guys think?

He wants to sleep with you.
It's the only thing men want.

Meet up with him... see what happens and how things go. You could always ask him where u stand with him!

Even if he did want to just sleep with her... if she meets up with him and he tries it on she can say no

I don't really know what you want to hear But, it sounds as if he is not thinking too much of a relationship if we wasn't willing to keep texting/phoning/contacting you after moving away and now only once he's free again he begins talking to you again. The fact that he has continuously asked for a bit of fun also suggests that a long term relationship is not on his mind. Give him this last chance to sort stuff out

I was asked what his motives were. Those are his motives. Hence my answer

And I wouldn't meet up with him if I already knew that

not every single guy is going to want to jump on a girl when they meet up, maybe he just wants to catch up and see how things are with you and actully see you instead of over a text!!

i feel better seeing people rather then txing them, as most of the time they don't pay much attention but thats the story of my life!!

if you want to see him, meet him. if you are unsure you could alwyas take someone with you and then see what he really wants it will test his patience!!

Great way to stereo type people. /sarcasm off

To the OP, I split up with my girlfriend a month ago, we still text and ask how we both are similar to your situation. I asked her if she wanted to meet up when she's back from uni, to have a chat and see how things are, my intentions are NOT to sleep with her but to see how she is. Go out and meet him, if things get a bit too much to handle, just leave.

Why not phone him and ask what he wants to do when you meet up (casually, say thinking cinema..rent a vid, food whatever) and try and gauge his reaction.

What? Ultimately that's what straight men want from women.

U must meet the wrong type of guys, I can certainly say that is not what ALL guys want, ok admitidly alot of guys do , but these are the guys that think they are gods gift and think they can do wateva they want. SO in future dont stereotype us guys like that, makes me mad!
