I'm really stumped on this one.

There's this guy I like and he likes me, and he wants to kiss and make out but he's not ready for a relationship. I've already told him firmly no sex until we're in a relationship, and he respects that, but I'm not even sure I want to do any making out until we're in a relationship. I'm just confused by his motives when we make out like he's in love with me but when asked if he wants a relationship his response is, "I'll have to think about it."

And I guess getting to the point of my question, is it normal for people who are dating to kiss and make out without being in a relationship, or in his case, not wanting to jump into a relationship? At this point I really feel uncomfortable with making out, a quick peck on the lips or cheek is fine, because I don't want to be casual with him and I don't want to be led on like I have so many times before with other guys, and I have no idea how to vocalize my needs to say no making out.
