Just because someone stirs feelings in you, doesn't mean you have to take his BS.

Move on, date other men and if he actually asks you out, and you really want to go, then go..and just enjoy that time together. Do not expect anything other than to share a nice evening. Do not change your life, or cancel any plans to accomodate him though.

Keep moving on, and if he really wants you, he will do whatever is needed to get you. If he doesnt really want you, you will not have given up anything while he decides...and, you may find someone better in the meantime, who not only stirs your heart-but makes it known that you stir him up too! We each deserve this.

But he wont want you if you are sitting at home waiting for him and he knows it...so keep moving.

Personally, he sounds like a loser. Any person that professes feelings for you, and is still keeping dating profiles active is a royal dink in my books.

This guy stirs feelings in me like no other.



Yes, a strong emotional reaction occurs with every trauma. This guy brings chaos into your life and you are interpreting that as 'exciting'.

It really is just emotional stress. If you enjoy it, keep doing it, but personally, I try to avoid stress.

Why don't you just go with it. People like who they like. Give him a time frame..but only in your mind. Date him for 6 months, without demanding anything. Just enjoy the ride....if after that, he doesn't want to be exclusive, he never will.

I think there is no problem with keeping his profile up as long as he changes it to not single/not looking. Not being single myself, I've had the rewarding experience of meeting new friends who also are not single. If he doesn't change it, you are being played and only fooling yourself.

Wow, that's a tough one.

Communication is where it's at. Is he afraid of commitment? Just flat out ask him point blank exactly what he wants from you and tell him how YOU feel.

Heck, what have you got to lose? More heartache?

Good Luck

Seems there are at least two things going on here. First, your question about what it means if someone leaves their profile up. I can honestly say it can be just a statement of independence. I left my profile up when dating someone. He mentioned he'd removed his. I didn't want to feel pressured and felt it was my choice. It did not mean I was looking for anyone else, but until we'd discussed whether to be exclusive or not I felt it shouldn't be an issue. I knew I'd keep any promises I made, if and when I made them.

Second thing is are you being played? I don't know about played, but it seems to me this guy chooses when he comes into your life and when he goes. He can't make up his mind for sure about anything. I'm sorry, but please don't make excuses for him, he just sounds half-hearted and looks like he's going to carry on in the same vein until you get fed up of him. If he can't make up his mind what he wants and chooses you most definitely, then it's time to leave him to his wavering. Once you've made the decision to drop him from your life, you will probably feel very relieved. It's stressful to be waiting and wondering and you need someone loving and dedicated, not this person messing you about when he feels like it.
