What does it mean if someone wants to b with u but they want the freedom 2 c other ppl right now but they wanna marry u one day?

I was told that they loved me, but they wanted the freedom to see other people and have space to do whatever they wanted. But that they still wanted to be with me and marry me one day. So what do I do about this? what does this mean?

He is just stringing you along. He's just a waste of time. Move on honey. He just wants the sex without the committment. Loser.

Your guy is kind of a shmuck.

If I'm reading his code right...he sees you as someone he can definitely settle down with, but that level of commitment scares him right now and/or he still really wants to run around and sow his oats, but he is being up front by telling you this so that you can see other people as well, but you both are supposed to remain "exclusive" to each other when he is finally ready to settle down.

You are a doorstop, a placemarker. He isn't ready to commit but he likes the idea of commiting to you...eventually.

Or I'm just giving too much credit and this is his way of having you when he wants you and seeing others as he sees fit.

Bottom line, what do you want with him? Do you want a committed relationship or do you like the idea of being free to see other people? Its really up to you.
