I'll try my hardest not to storytell, there are a lot of parts to what happened.

So I have been talking to this guy for a month now and I really like him and by the way we text, I can tell he likes me. I picked him up one day and we chilled and watched a movie. He started cuddling me then made out with me. (Oh I was so happy :D) but the next day I asked "was I good" and he said "yea you were" I said "it was a fun date" and he said "yea it was fun. But I'm not looking for a relationship yet. But don't get me wrong if I hook up with a guy I treat him amazing"

I really want a relationship. What do I do? :(

If I were you, I would drop him now and move on. You want one thing, he wants another, it's really that simple. You want a relationship, and right now it appears he just wants a quick fling. I would find it hard to believe that he would want a real relationship anytime in the near future. By the way he responded to you when you said "It was a fun date." too, it seems to me like he was making sure that nothing would come of it. And really, if you want a relationship, I think you're going to have to search elsewhere. I wish you the best of luck and hope you find someone who can give you what you want.

I think that it is POSSIBLE to be in a relationship with him if you go about it the right way. I'm not exactly a relationship guru but I would avoid him and see how he reacts. Tell him you're looking for a relationship and not looking to "fool around" (make it sound like what he's doing is immature). If he really wants you he will pursue you and you can lay down some "ground rules" lol. That's what I would try. Make it seem like he's immature and that you're looking for a relationship. If he pursues you try to get both of you on the same page. Best of luck! If you want further advice with this just message me.

Wait. You don't know him tho. He's not immature or anything like that. He's just not looking for a relationship. He's not looking for sex either. He's perfectly fine being single and so am I. I can tell by the way we text he likes me. We text 24/7 if he didn't like me he wouldn't be texting me.

Just continue to hang out with him some more.
If a relationship forms between you 2, then great, if it doesn't, then oh well.

Is there a possibility that a relationship could form? Of course, anything is possible. However, I don't see it happening right now. At the end of the day, the most important thing to remember is that you both want different things. You want a relationship and he doesn't. It's hard when you like someone that much and you will make excuse after excuse, but again, you just have to remind yourself that he doesn't want the same things as you do.

My personal opinion is to just move on. Look for someone who actually does want the same things as you. I hate to say completely dump the guy and stop talking to him, but if you truly like him that much and you continue to text, talk, hang out, etc., then he will just be holding you back. Continuing to talk to him and being friends with him will give you hope that he will eventually come around and want to be with you in that way, but the truth is, it might never happen. I think your best bet is to just move on. It's not easy, but I think it's for the best.

Regardless of what you do, I do think you need to be up front with him. Tell him you are a relationship person and you have no interest in just fooling around. Depending on his reaction, I think from there you can decide what to do. Ultimately though, I do think you should move on. There is always a possibility a relationship could form, but don't get your hopes up.

I've been in a similar situation and in my experience it doesn't work out. When someone wants to stay single there is a reason behind it and no matter how much you want it to happen that reason will prevent a relationship. Save yourself the heartache cry and move on.
