No, but I think that our goals were different. I am dating to eventually settle down and he's not necessarily in that place quite yet as he has been a serial monogamist for his entire adult life (while I've been a serial single person, haha, dating intermittently). If he already knows I'm looking for a serious thing, my job is soon going to be very busy with crazy hours, and that I'm already obviously showing signs of being a bit needy (which I was; I acknowledged it to him) then it's probably best not to try. Especially if he doesn't know if he's staying in this area of the state or not.

My job is about to be very busy with unpredictable hours. If I'm being rational, between the two things it would have been hard and caused tension.

Thanks for the input.
