man's opinion...

hey everyone!! I'm new here!!! my question to all the man is....what do you guys mean when you tell a woman that a relationship is not in your agenda right now, or that your not ready for a relationship??? or that your just taking your time??
see i've been dating this guy for about 4 months, and i really like him and he says that he likes me too, but when i asked him about having a relationship he said it wasen't on his agenda at this time, and that he feels that that people need to be friends first and that he's just taking his time, i know he has other "LADY FRIENDS" because he told me. Another thing is i'm 20 he's 39, he's never been married and doesn't have any kids...do you think that he's age might have something to do with him taking his time??? what do ya'll think about my scenario???

I'm not a man but it sounds like he wants to have his cake and eat it too...."other lady friends" 4 months is a long time. He needs to sh*t or get off the pot!

It's called dating. If you're looking for something more serious find someone else. He's obviously in date mode and not interested in having a relationship (as he clearly stated).

I would think a 39 year old man would know what he wants, and he's telling you flat out what it is.

What is the confusion?

This applies to both men and women. When someone says:

"I'm not ready for a relationship", it means, "I'm not ready for a relationship with you".

I agree with tanbark and would like to add "don't mind having sex with you"

You don't need to be dating a 39 yrs old when you are 20. He is old enough to be your father.

Why are you acting like he's talking in some secret code that only men can decode? He doesn't want a relationship. He wants to date. He wants to have fun. He doesn't want to settle down. Having a monogamous committed relationship isn't for everyone.

one thing that gets me confused is that i've told him like two times that i think is better that he goes his way and i go mine because we have different agendas and he'll call me back a day or two later "to see how i'm doing" and it starts all over again,and he'll tell me that's he's just taking his time, that we have to be friends first, that why i'm i pressuring him!!! everytime i tell him to just leave me alone he always comes back!!

Because he can keep having sex with you and string you along and you'll put up with it. What's the big mystery here??

Good, then you won't have to worry about him coming back around.
