He says he doesn't want to jinx anything. Meanwhile, I'm having a strong desire to run before I am hurt. What should I do? Reply to this Question

He was worried it might change things, like we'd take each other or our relationship for granted. We promised to keep each other in check and make sure that doesn't happen.

I will ask him why he feels he will jinx it and also will tell him how I feel. Sex has also come to mean more than anything casual. If his plans are not working towards marriage and he can't even say he loves me, I will only get depressed continuing to have sex with him. I am going to suggest 6 months of dating, continuing to get to know each other, and time for him to figure out what he wants in his life. (He mentioned a couple of months ago that he doesn't know what he wants)

I think CaringGuy is right... actions for men are what counts.
I think before you run, you should tell him what you said here. Don't expect any words of love or anything at all, but just say it straight up... "I am having a strong desire to run, before I am hurt."
Somehow, laying the truth right out there takes some of the fear out of it. And if you do decide to go well he had fair warning. Its also and opportunity for him to say "I feel the same way." and to talk about it if he wants.

Give this time. It takes a lot for a guy to commit himself to those words. They are a big thing to us men! And though when we are younger or immature we say them at the drop of a feather, when we are older and wiser, we don't. He is treating you well, so he does seem to care for you (men can be measured by what they do, not what they say). If he said he was worried about jinxing anything, the perhaps he has a bad time with relationships in the past. Why don't you try talking to him about it and asking why he feels he might jinx it. Give it time though.
