He's not ready for a relationship and enjoys being single. What does he want?

A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I really like this guy. We were in an english class together this semester. I asked him out a couple of weeks ago and we had a really good time. But, his last gf cheated on him and he said he's not ready for a relationship, that he enjoys being single. I myself just got out of a 4 year relationship. It is the end of the semester and this past weekend we hooked up and did everything but sex. I enjoyed it and he was really sweet about everything. He cuddled the entire night and I don't regret any of it. However, we're both leaving to go home on Friday, he's going to North Carolina and I'm going to Miami, Florida. We've only been hanging out for about a week and it's obviously a bad time. He knows how I feel about him but I don't want to be a one night stand type of deal and I think that we could have the potential to date. Is there anything I can do to tell him this or perhaps do? Should we just enjoy the summer single and maybe try things in August when school starts again? And should I ask him about what he wants?

A reader, anonymous, writes (22 April 2008):

Well, if he was pretty straightforward about stating he's not ready for a relationship, then why are you wanting to ask him? You know what, exchange email addresses with him, and communicate in a light, casual fun way over the summer. Just don't pine away for him and pin your hopes on dating him, come fall. And then when fall comes and you are both back in school, gauge how he reacts when you see him again. But you can't force anyone to date you...if it's going to happen it will. Just be postive, happy and....patient. But also, don't put all your eggs in one basket here. Because it sounds like he's doing thism, too. Get out and play the field and date other guys and enjoy the dating scene. This is what you should be doing at your age. Living it up, having a blast being free to do what you want to do.
