If on the off chance (not likely) that he does want to make a girlfriend out of you, he will chase you once you leave. I suspect he'll say 'good luck' and that will be it.

I'm betting he'll try to hold on to her. It seems like his whole effort to win her over was just an ego exercise - and successfully persuading her not to bail when she says she's determined to do will provide another ego boost.

 

If you really want to drive the message home, just lose him, and don't give him any room to win you back. From everything you've written about him, he doesn't sound worth any more of your time at all.

 

It can be angsty and painful to go through the decision-making process to dump a guy who's not treating you right. But once you do, it's usually a good feeling - kind of like getting rid of that ratty old sweater from a decade ago that just doesn't fit anymore.

Some form of this!!!

 

Evan Marc Katz has a great blog. Google him. He discusses this exact thing in one of his blogs called 'How exactly do I break up with a non committal man?'

 

He basically says the same thing as Babolat says here.

 

This isn't a negotiation or you trying to get him to step up. This is you already knowing that he doesn't want more or he would have stepped up already. This is you telling him that you want more than this and he is not that guy so you are going to go find that guy. Period.

 

If on the off chance (not likely) that he does want to make a girlfriend out of you, he will chase you once you leave. I suspect he'll say 'good luck' and that will be it.

 

Good luck to you!

The point is, he is not a great guy that she was dating for a while.
