Depends. Did you dump him or he dump you? If he was dumped, he is being caustious and I would say smart. He wants to look before he leaps to protect his heart. I think he sounds like he is thinking logically. He dumped me and he says that he still want to keep seeing me and still loves me but he doesn't want to be in a serious relationship. He wants our relationship to be open. Ask him why he doesn't want to be in a serious relationship. If he says there was a problem in the relationship with how you were treating him, then he may want to keep an open relationship with you because he doesn't want to feel trapped but wants to keep seeing you. If says he just wants to keep things open, light and fun, that he just wants to have fun and meet different people, then probably he knows that you're not the one for him.
It sounds as though he is very interested in you.
That is the most common meaning, yes.
If he tells you he has AIDS before you two sleep together. Then you know the relationship is solid :)
I'd say if he actually pays attention to you. Listens and CARES about what you have to say... Looks you in the eyes... Tells him that he is serious...and that he loves you...wants to be with you.. ex..
If a guy says that he is in love with you and serious about you then he wants a committed relationship.
When a guy tells a girl that, he more than likes her, he means that he loves her and is ready for a relationship with that girl.
He very well may love you but he needs to sort out his other marriage before you move forward in your relationship.
He's not looking for commitment, or he wants to take it slower. He loves you, meaning he cares for you and wants the best for you, but he doesn't have the passion that is required for more serious relationships.
what he is doing is trying to gain the upper hand in the relationship by showing you need him.
To demonstrate to her that he has moved on from their old relationship, he has a new girlfriend and there is no possibility of them getting back together again. Possibly he broke up with her by saying, "we can still be friends" - always a serious error, in my view. And more sensible to wait about 3 months after one relationship ends before beginning a new one.
It depends on the relationship. How serious is it? How long have you been together? If you haven't become sexually involved and/or haven't been together very long, there is a possibility he thinks that is what you want to hear, and it will move the intimacy level along more quickly.
He has a purpose in telling you this and it's probably not to your advantage to expect anything in the future from him.
