I have been friends with a man for 9 months from my course. Recently he got in touch and we met up twice on our own for walks since the course had finished. He initiated the contact for both of these walks.
The second time we met he said he felt like we had known each other for a long time, we spent about 12 hours together. He kept dropping hints as though he could see us in a relationship and said we had some deep conversations. I feel disheartened as since we met up he has looked daily on POF where he is a member. I'm not on the site but could see from my friend's app. My friend said I shouldn't have spent 12 hours with him as he has nothing else to look forward to which is why he is back online.
Now, I know he is single and can do what he likes but I don't want to play second best to a man who I feel could be emotionally unavailable. He even mentioned his ex a few times who hurt him so I think he isn't ready. Should I just stay friends with him but carry on dating others? I know we could have a good relationship but I'm not waiting for someone who doesn't know what he wants and use me as a back up plan.
