The lies would do it for me, it's not a stretch to go from little lies to big lies.

If you don't feel as if you're being played, it's your call, hard to tell from the outside looking in.

Get real. You don't have a relationship.

If you get pleasure from what you're doing, then continue it. But remember that it's a fantasy on your part - this guy isn't even remotely interested in you.

Good luck, and I hope you find someone much nicer soon.

I think he is interested, but I also feel he is stuck in the past. He was with someone for 7 years, and the break up was fairly recent, about 6-7 months ago. And I know he likes me. He is just confused. He wants me, but at the same time he wants to have fun and party. I dont mind him partying. I do my thing, and he does his. But he doesn't know what he wants.
I need him to know what he wants because if he doesnt, I am just slipping in the mud here.
I feel like everything comes before me.

It does come before you. This is a sign - don't ignore it. The lie about the watch may seem pretty piddly now, but how can you be sure he's not lying about other stuff - stuff that REALLY matters? This guy isn't right for you, and you need to free yourself up to find someone who is.

I often wonder if it's me that is the problem, and not everyone else.

Sometimes you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find that prince. 😉

Maybe you should take a good long look at the kind of guy that gets you interested to begin with. You might need to change up your requirements. Or not.

Everyone I date is different.
I don't date a certain type.
I think it's guys in general. No wonder so many of us gay guys are single.
Perhaps I am just too old fashioned.

Then hold out for an old-fashioned guy - they are out there. You just need to make sure he is what you really want, and that means you have to take the time to get to know him.

He told me he decided to stay home and pack some stuff instead.

If you believe that, then I've got a 10" ....

If he wasn't with you on V-day or last night, he was probably with someone else.

Sad but true. Dump 'em.

that is probably the case
 
If you put up with guys treating you like crap, they'll just keep doing it. You're just selling yourself short putting up with it at all. Maybe you need to move somewhere new and start over, where hot, mature guys are more plentiful.

He isn't a cheater. I know that much. He just wants something different right now.
In a way, he is kind of selfish. In a way, I am. Perhaps it's for the best.
 
Selfish guy who takes more than he gives.
Tells white lies and is not over his last relationship.
Has time and money for everything else but you...

Why are you even asking...??? I am sure you know that you deserve better than that. Who cares if he likes you? Set your standards on how you know you deserve to be treated and never disrespect yourself enough to lower them.

Someone will like you AND cherish you.
 
i don't think any of the things you described are worth leaving for. for the amount of time you have been dating, i don't see why he should be completely devoted to you.
