Marion, you’ve made a few waves as one of the few women on a nearly all-male forum. It certainly spices it up for us.
I tend to subscribe to the evolutionary theories of relationships. We men want to spread our seed just about everywhere, preferably for the least commitment in return.
Women’s programming is more complicated. Evolution indicates a woman either wants a solid, reliable, loyal provider for a future long term supportive relationship, or a fling to get genes from an exceptional specimen (the “bad boy”). Either can work for women following the psychology evolution gave them. Best of all is a fling for the genes on the side combined with the solid reliable cuckold for economic and emotional and other support.
You clearly think this guy is a candidate for reliable husband, and not your bad boy fling. From his perspective, he’s still hoping he can be your bad boy who makes no commitment. It’s the moment of truth, and the disparity between your hopes is about to be revealed. You just have to be firm. He might still want to be with you, but then you and he will both know that he’ll be playing the role of the reliable provider.
Or maybe you’ll go for that fling? Good luck either way.
