Joyk, I think I may have misled you. If you want a passionate fling, go for it as long as it is not hurting you. But if you want something serious, I don't think this guy is it. At first I assumed you believed this guy could get serious with you. But, a fling can be fun also. Enjoy it while you can. Learn from it, love it. When it's time, move on. Don't assume it's bad just because society told you it's bad. Enjoy life a little, but protect yourself too. Maybe hold back on your emotions a bit.
I have a long time interest in psychology, specializing in relationship dynamics for 30 years.
