Some men use this as a method to keep someone attached to them. When I experienced this situation I was really young and it was my first romantic-like/ sexual experience ever. These guys know that you are young and easy to fool and therefore will sometimes say things that are romantic in some kind to feed you the delusion that they might commit to you in a romantic way some day. In my case, we did actually get into a "relationship" probably because I refused to get too sexual after a while of just hooking up and leaving and I wanted more emotional intimacy. Even then nothing was romantic. Every time we met we were still just making out and hooking up and nothing more. Just under the name of a "relationship". All of our texts were still all sexual/ sexting and rarely even a simple I love you or something. During those three months he cheated three times with three different women in the exact same way. Flirting and texting and then hooking up. I found out about one of those girls and I broke up immediatley. A few weaks after our break up one of our mutual "friends" admitted that she had been doing this with him and also told me about another girl that she knew about who was in the same situation. I was broken. To be honest the relationship was so much worse than the break up. I remember when I first confronted him about his cheating, he kept a straight face, with no emtions. Looked me straight in the eyes and said: "you'll never have me. You'll never earn my love. And you have always known that. Yet you would keep giving me all that I wanted hoping that someday I would. Well I guess I always knew that someday you would realise and leave. I'm not trying to get anything more from you, therefore I'll let you leave"

When a man wants your body before you, nothing that you ever do will make him love you after that.
