<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

Background: He is a really cool guy that is apparently always friendzoned. I just got out of an 18 month relationship 4 months ago. I am over it but I want to avoid dating anyone seriously because I am leaving for college in August.

He was a friend of a friend I invited to a fundraiser I was throwing in early December. We hit it off and started texting. About a week and a half ago we went together to my favorite restaurant and then he came grocery shopping with me and we had a really nice time. Since then we've hung out and we went out on our first real date TWO NIGHTS AGO (New Years Eve). We kissed for the first time that night which turned into a makeout session, but nothing more.

Sounds like the very *beginning* of a relationship, right? The 'get to know each other' stage? He has been tweeting about having a relationship since that night, and I know from mutual friends he has been hinting at something more than just casual dating.

I am afraid that he will try to DTR the next time we are together. I barely know him well enough to call him a good friend and this is all moving way too quickly for me. I honestly do enjoy his company and I am very attracted to him romantically, but I can't commit to a relationship. I wouldn't even mind being exclusive, but the idea of being his girlfriend and starting a serious relationship turns my stomach. I am not ready to settle down after dating a borderline obsessive guy, and I also want to avoid a break up before I leave for school. If he really does want to start something serious and permanent, is there a way to save our relationship and maintain what we have now? Are there magic words that could keep us where we are to buy me time? I need more than 3 weeks to get to know him well enough to make a decision like this.
<bot>: Guy I have barely even been on a first date with is hinting at a DTR talk and I am not feeling it.
