<human>: We're both foreign students beginning a two-year MA program in Europe. We get on amazingly well and have grown quite close in a circle of friends in our program. We've both had a few serious long-term relationships in our respective pasts and have each spent the last year to year and a half single... The difference is that I've come to the point where I'm stable and very aware that I'm ready to share my time, attention, and life with the right person again, whereas he says that he came here to re-focus on himself, start again in a new city, and that he doesn't want a girlfriend just yet. He suggested that perhaps we shouldn't be sleeping together - bonds form, expectations develop, he doesn't want to hurt me in a few months time, he says.

I could respect that, of course. But the thing is that, despite him having said that, we're progressing as a couple genuinely falling in love... and I'll admit I'm becoming convinced that we would be perfect for each other. Long walks in the park, deep conversations, spending whole days together that end in him coming over and cooking me dinner and us eating by candlelight, him skyping me at bedtime to say goodnight or read aloud to me from a book we started. Yes, there's amazing sex about once a week when we finally give into the tension, but the relationship involves so much more actual getting to know each other on a deeper level. My sister and brother-in-law are coming to town this week and he's joining us for dinner out. That's not something you do with a casual sex buddy, right? Right?

So am I being silly holding out hope that this is becoming something real? It feels so real, but I have to face that technically, he's told me no.

<bot>: We're obviously falling for each other, but he's explained to me that he doesn't want a gf now. Yet the wonderful days together continue. Am I wrong to keep investing time and emotion?
