Met this guy about two and a half months ago. About a month ago he asked me to be his girlfriend. I just found out last night that he felt thing were moving fast; he asked me to be his girlfriend because he thought it would make me happy. Now he feels like he may be missing out.... he says he's just at a point in his life where he's finally coming out of his shell, and wants to experience dating in general. I really like this guy - I thought I was falling in love with him. I dont want to force him to stay in a relationship with me if he's going to regret it down the road, but it still feels like he's looking for something better, and it hurts. He said he doesnt want me to break up with him - he wants to keep dating me - but I dont know if I can stomach knowing he'd be with other girls. And I really dont want to date any other guys.
Part of me wants to try the non-exclusive dating so that maybe he'll realise how good he already has it. Another part of me wants to suggest a break so that he can go do his own thing. But I'm questioning how long, or even IF, I want to wait for him. I'm worried he'll meet someone else, and while I'm waiting for him to come back to me, he'll move on with another girl. How often does the guy actually come back? Is it worth the risk?
