How to tell if hes looking for something casual or something serious?

[omghny]

I've been seeing this guy for about a month now (we met on Tinder) and everything has been amazing so far. I really like him, he's very much a gentlemen, he's really sweet and well I really enjoy his company.

Here are the signs that I feel that he would want something serious:
-He's initiated all 4 of our dates (I only planned 1 of em). He texts me everyday and if our conversation ends, he'd initiate the texts.
-He pays for the bills without hesitating and took me out on a nice dinner for our 4th date.
-I've met a few of his friends on the second date and he invited me to go to one of his friend's birthday party (which flopped so me and his other friends went to get drinks)
-On our 3rd date we were making out at his place and I wasn't ready to sleep with him yet, so I told him that I wasn't comfortable enough to sleep with him yet, but he responded that he was okay with it and that he wasn't upset the fact that I didn't want to.
-But we did finally have sex on our 5th date (he didn't pressure me or anything, it was both our decision) and it was good. He asked if I wanted to sleepover and I did, but he offered to sleep on the couch and I could sleep on his bed (its a single sized bed). He woke me up the next morning if I wanted any breakfast that he'd make (which I thought was really sweet considering the fact that he had work that morning), he told me that I could leave with him or I was free to take another nap in his room, but I decided to go home

And here is why I'm not sure if he wants nothing more but a fling:
-He's only in the city for another 2 months and is heading back to his town (for like half a year or so) which is like FAR from where I'm at.
-He also never really established what he was looking for and I'm kinda unsure how to bring up that topic without seeming like I'm being pushy or scaring him away.
-On one of the dates I planned, we went to a festival and he said "this would be so much fun if we invited more people. I should've invited my friends" I feel that he somehow tries to get his friends involved around our dates
-He never asked me any questions where I would feel that he would want to get to know me on a deeper level
-I kinda feel since we finally did sleep together that he may just only WANT to see me for sex
-Even though he initiate texts, he takes FOREVER to respond back, even though I see him online. He usually takes an ENTIRE day to respond back. And I totally understand the "he has a life, he doesn't always have his phone on him like you think he does" but whenever we are together, he responds to his texts within a 5 minute time span.

Well. It's only been a month.
He's only in the city for 2 more months. Hey that's okay, you two can just live in the moment too right? I try to live in the present. Or that's my attitude at least.

Second. For me. I never bring up the relationship talk or "what I'm looking for", I feel like that's the woman's role.
I just go with the flow, lead the interactions and create fun activities to do together. But that doesn't mean I'm not open to it.
I think healthy, strong relationships are awesome. I don't see how a person wouldnt want to be in one if it's with the right person.
Of course everybody is different though, and that's okay, some people just really don't want labels or relationships.

Taking forever to respond to messages, yeah, it is kind of rude if it takes him like 12 hours to respond or whatever all the time.
He's possibly just trying not to ruin his chances by appearing needy.

I personally don't even text women I'm dating unless it's sbout creating plans. I just feel like it works better this way.
I like allowing women to come at their own pace. And. I like missing women, and having some mystery to what we have both been up to for when we reconnect.
Of course I still respond to their texts.
And if she says that she REALLY wants to hear from me, yeah, I'll start shooting her a text or a short call mid-week to let her know she's on my mind.

I get the wanting to get to know you on a deeper level, thats important. It's fun having those conversations as time progresses and your bond strengthens.
Otherwise, try initiating some of that talk with him.

I would say he is interested in a relationship based on what you have said though.

ok...Tinder...is that where you swipe left or right for casual sex? If that is what it is, then I'm a bit confused about wanting a serious relationship from it. He sounds nice and respectful, but you do know the facts that he'll be gone in two months. What is it that YOU want? That's what you need to figure out and if it's more, then you need to have the talk with him. It's not being pushy or needy. It's being a grown up. He's leaving anyway. Stop trying to guess and just ask.
