Dear Hearing is Believing, Listen to him -- and then plan your life accordingly. If that is not what you want, run, don't walk, to the nearest exit while wishing him well with what will likely be a series of confused, lust-filled friendships of a sort. Don't be one of them. Accept him at his word and don't presume that you could or should cause him to change. That is not your right or your responsibility. What is up to you is to know who you are and what value you bring to a relationship. Seek people that value that in you and themselves, too. Health attracts health. You are of immeasurable worth, don't settle for anything less in any area of your life. Marion
